DDR4 XMP
Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 5333MHz and Beyond*
GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 5333MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their GIGABYTE otherboard.
* XMP Profile support may vary depending on memory module.
* Please see the complete validated memory support list. Product features may vary by model.
Shielded Memory Routing
All memory routing is under the PCB inner layer shielded by a large ground layer to protect from external interference.
Thermal
Fully Covered MOSFET Heatsink
Real One-piece Build
TMOS is a TRUE single piece heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface drastically improve the cooling performance against competitors' multi-piece design.
Multi-Cut Design
TMOS features several channels and inlets on the heatsink. This design allows for the air flow to go through which leads to a great improvement of the heat transfer performance.
Thermal
M.2 Thermal Guard
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.
Future Connectivity
The ultimate connectivity with blazing data-transfer speeds through the next generation network and storage.
2.5GbE LAN
Supercharge your gaming with 2.5GbE LAN Achieve lightning-fast speeds, minimal lag, and unbeatable performance to elevate your gaming setup and dominate the competition.
PCIe 4.0 Hardware Design
Featuring one or multiple PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot support, GIGABYTE Motherboards are ready to work with the PCIe 4.0 devices to provide the superior performance.
Hi-Fi Audio
High-End Audio Capacitors
These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution and high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects.
Audio Noise Guard
Essentially separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.
Easy Friendly
Innovative and intuitive hardware, software, and BIOS interface design to create your personal style.
EZ-Latch
Unlock the latch of the PCIe slot easily when remove the graphics card in the PCIe slot.
M.2 EZ-Latch Plus
Screwless installation for M.2 SSDs.
Smart Fan 6
ensures optimal cooling and quiet operation for your gaming PC, with support for PWM/DC fans and pumps, customizable settings, and intuitive temperature monitoring.
- 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.
Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI
- Enhance Fan Curve UI : Enhance fan curve control with an expanded number of control points, from 5 to 7, and a larger fan speed graph, enabling users to have more precise and effortless control over fan curve settings.
- Slope/Stair Dual Graph Mode : Switch between Slope and Stair modes to adapt to various user scenarios. Slope mode provides a linear fan speed curve, while Stair mode maintains a constant fan speed within specified temperature intervals.
- Manual Input : For advanced users, manual input of fan speeds is available for fine-tuning and precise control over the cooling system.
- EZ Tuning : Simplify the process with EZ Tuning by setting 4 points on a rough temperature/fan speed scale. Smart Fan 6 will quickly generate a fan curve based on these points.
- Fan Curve Profile : Save your customized fan curve profile in the BIOS ROM, ensuring it remains intact even after BIOS updates.
UC BIOS
Redesigned UI and UX
an intuitive operation interface with an aesthetically pleasing design.
Quick Access
9 customizable option slots for effortless access in Easy Mode.
PerfDrive
exclusive BIOS settings that optimize the performance based on the cooling configuration
Q-Flash Plus
Update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory, and graphics card.
- Plug the 24-pin and 8-pin power supply cables into the motherboard.
- Download the motherboard BIOS file and rename it to "gigabyte.bin". Save it to a USB flash drive formatted in FAT32. Insert the USB flash drive into the Q-FLASH PLUS USB port.
- Press the Q-FLASH PLUS button, and the motherboard will start updating the BIOS automatically.
