OUTSTANDING THERMAL DESIGN

Thermal Design

GIGABYTE Motherboards' unparalleled performance is guaranteed by innovative and optimized thermal design to ensure the best CPU, Chipset, SSD stability and low temperatures under full load application and gaming performance.

M.2 Thermal Guard

GIGABYTE Ultra-Efficient M.2 Thermal Guard

With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.

Thermal Throttling As Temperature Rises

2X Copper PCB

3% Cooler by implementing

2X copper PCB Design

By adopting 2X copper on PCB inner layer, it lowers the components' temperature at least 3% by turning the PCB into a super thin PCB size copper heatsink to dissipate the heat from the components effectively, due to it’s high thermal conductivity and lower impedance.

Smart Fan 6

Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fan and pump, and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface.

Cooling Features

High Current Support

Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection

Precision Control

Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve

Dual Curve Mode

Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenario

Fan Stop

Fan can stop completely below users' specified temperature point

Improve fan curve UI

We increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for precise and easier fan curve control.

Slope/Stair dual graph mode

Fan curve can be quickly switch with Slope and Stair modes for different user scenario. Slope is traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve. With newly added Stair non-linear mode, fan keeps at same speed between specified temperature interval.

Manual Input

For advanced users, we provide fan speed manual input for more precise control.

EZ Tuning

Use can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve.

5Fan curve profile

Fan curve profile can be saved in BIOS ROM, profile will be kept after updating BIOS.
