NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x4 2280 M.2 connector
GIGABYTE motherboards focus on delivering M.2 technology to enthusiasts who want to maximize the potential of their system.
GbE LAN with bandwidth management
GbE LAN features a network bandwidth management application that helps improve network latency and maintain low ping times to deliver better responsiveness in crowded LAN environments.
Smart Fan 5
With Smart Fan 5, users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to swap their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, more hybrid fan headers that support fans in both PWM and voltage mode have been introduced with Smart Fan 5 to make the motherboard more compatible with liquid cooling.
Fan Stop
Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, assign any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specific threshold. Which fan stops, based on readings from which sensor, and at what temperature – it can all be customized to your liking.
Hybrid fan pin headers
Take full control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on water flow and temperature via the hybrid fan pin headers or external thermistor sensors, giving you complete mastery over your PC.
New software for 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 intuitive fan curve to define activation thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
High-end audio capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high-quality capacitors help deliver high-resolution and high-fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers.
Audio noise protector
GIGABYTE motherboards feature audio noise shielding that essentially separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise contamination at the PCB level.
BIOS updated
The BIOS is essential for users during initial setup to allow for the most optimal configuration. With a new GUI and more user-friendly functionalities, GIGABYTE has been able to reinvent the BIOS to give users a better experience when setting up their new system.
APPLICATION CENTER
GIGABYTE APP CENTER is a useful portal of all GIGABYTE MB utilities and drivers. You can choose any utility you want to 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 fine-tune their system settings or adjust system and memory clocks and voltages in a Windows environment. With Smart Quick Boost, one click is all it takes to automatically overclock your system, delivering an extra performance boost when you need it most.
BIOS
The GIGABYTE BIOS application allows you to update your system's BIOS from within Windows using a simple and elegant graphical user interface. BIOS can automatically download the latest version from GIGABYTE's 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 backup your BIOS to an image.
System Information Viewer
GIGABYTE System Information Viewer is a central location that gives you access to the current status of your system. Monitor components such as clocks and processor, set your preferred fan speed profile, create alerts when temperatures get too high, or record your system's behavior - these are the possibilities of System Information Viewer.
