NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 connector
GIGABYTE motherboards focus on delivering M.2 technology to enthusiasts who want to maximize the potential of their system.
HDMI 2.1 support for 4K/60P/21:9/HDCP 2.3
HDMI 2.1, which is compatible with HDMI 2.0/1.4 and offers 48 Gb/s of
bandwidth, twice that of the previous generation. This opens the door
potential for users to transfer multiple streams of
video, as well as a native 21:9 cinematic ratio (in which
most movies are shot), Full HDR and HDCP 2.3 support,
to offer the best viewing experience to viewers.
Industry-leading LAN surge and static protection
GIGABYTE motherboards use integrated circuits with up to 3
times higher levels of ESD resistance compared to circuits
traditional integrated circuits. This helps to better protect the motherboard and
its components against possible damage caused by electricity
static. GIGABYTE motherboards also feature circuits
Special anti-surge integrated circuits protect your motherboard and your
PC from any increase in power supply that may occur,
which helps ensure your PC is equipped to deal with
any potentially irregular power supply and
inconsistent.
Smart Fan 5
With Smart Fan 5, users can ensure that their PC is running at its best.
games can maintain their performance while staying cool. Smart
Fan 5 allows users to swap the heads of their
fans to reflect different thermal sensors in different
motherboard locations. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 they have
introduced more hybrid fan headers that support
fans in PWM mode and voltage to make the motherboard more
compatible with liquid cooling.
- 5 temperature sensors
- 2 fan pin headers
- All fan pin headers upgraded to hybrid fan headers
- Interoperable sensors and fans
- Intuitive user interface for fan control
Fan Stop
Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, assign any fan to a
fan to stop completely when temperatures
fall below a specific threshold. Which fan stops,
depending on the readings of which sensor and at what temperature; everything can be done
customize to your liking.
Hybrid fan pin headers
Take full control over your cooling setup
liquid! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information about the
flow rate and water temperature through the pin headers of the
hybrid fan or external thermistor sensors, giving you a
absolute control over your PC.
• All hybrid fan heads can detect
automatically the type of cooling device, whether it is a
fan or pump with different voltage or PWM modes.
New software of smart fan 5
Choose from different modes, from Silent to Full Speed, to suit your system usage preferences.
For each fan or pump, you can use the fan curve
intuitive to define activation thresholds and speeds of
corresponding fan.
High-end audio capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboards use high-quality audio capacitors.
range. These high-quality capacitors help deliver high-quality audio.
resolution and high fidelity to provide the most accurate sound effects
realistic to the players.
Audio noise protector
GIGABYTE motherboards feature noise protection
audio that essentially separates the sensitive audio components
analog of the plate of the possible noise pollution at the level of
PCB.
Solid pin power connectors
GIGABYTE motherboards feature ATX power connectors
12V 8-pin solid-plated connector to provide a power supply
stable power while CPU is overloaded.
Glass fabric PCB with moisture protection
There is nothing more detrimental to the longevity of your PC than the
humidity, and in most of the world air humidity is considered
humidity at some point in the year. GIGABYTE motherboards have been
Designed to ensure that moisture is never a problem,
incorporating a new PCB Glass Fabric technology that repels the
moisture caused by damp and wet conditions. Glass technology
Fabric PCB uses a new PCB material that reduces the amount of
space between the fiber tissue, making it much more difficult
moisture penetration compared to motherboard PCBs
traditional. This offers much better protection against
short circuits and system malfunctions caused by
wet and damp conditions.
BIOS updated
BIOS is essential for users during setup
initial to allow the most optimal configuration. With a new GUI and
more user-friendly functionalities, GIGABYTE has been able to reinvent the
BIOS to provide users with a better experience when configuring their
new system.
APPLICATION CENTER
GIGABYTE APP CENTER is a useful portal of all utilities and
GIGABYTE MB drivers. You can choose any utility you want
install from APP CENTER and keep it updated with the latest
versions of utilities and drivers.
EasyTune™
GIGABYTE EasyTune™ is a simple and easy-to-use interface that
allows users to adjust their system settings or adjust
system and memory clocks and voltages in an environment
Windows. With Smart Quick Boost, one click is all it takes to
automatically overclock your system, providing an additional boost
performance when you need it most.
@BIOS _
The GIGABYTE @BIOS application allows you to update the BIOS of your
system from Windows using a simple graphical user interface and
elegant. @BIOS can automatically download the latest version of the
GIGABYTE servers or you can update your BIOS from a file on
your computer. @BIOS also allows you to save your current BIOS to a
file, recover your previous BIOS from an image and make a
backup your BIOS to an image.
System Information Viewer
GIGABYTE System Information Viewer is a location
central that gives you access to the current status of your system. Monitor
components such as clocks and processor, set your profile of
preferred fan speed, create alerts when temperatures
climb too high or record the behavior of your system; these are
the capabilities of the System Information Viewer.
