To unleash full potential of multi-cores CPU performance

For CPU integrated GPU performance and memory control

Provide stable power for CPU featured PCIe lanes

* 6+6 phases parallel power design
Ultra Durable™ SMD PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Connector
The first PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Slot supports the latest M.2 25110 form factor. It doubles the bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 and ensures that compatible with cutting-edge M.2 SSDs released in next few years.
Note: The Active OC Tuner feature is available on certain models. Product feature may vary by model.

M.2 Thermal Guard
2X Copper PCB
Smart Fan 6
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.
1. Fully Covered Thermal Design
  1. • 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.

  2. • 3X Large Surface
    Increased surface area up to 3X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. It improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.

  3. • Multi-Cut Design
    Both TMOS & RMOS heatsinks with multiple channels and inlets featured which lead the air flow going through more efficiently and cause a great improvement of heat transfer performance.
2. 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.
3. 8-Layer & 2X Copper PCB
2X COPPER PCBs design effectively lower the component temperature by its high thermal conductivity and low impedance.
4. 6mm Thermal Heatpipe
5. 5 W/mK Thermal Pad
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
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.
CONNECTIVITY

2.5GbE LAN
Front USB-C® 20Gb/s
Rear USB-C® 10Gb/s
Hi-Fi Audio
GIGABYTE Motherboards enable the ultimate connection experience with blazing data-transfer speeds through the next generation network, storage, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
First adopter on 2.5GbE LAN onboard
2X Faster than ever
  1. Adoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least 2X faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with ultimate online gaming experience.
  2. Support Multi-Gig(10/100/1000/2500Mbps) RJ-45 Ethernet
Connecting the Future - Front USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C®
Featuring the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 design which is doubled the performance than previous generation of USB 3.2 Gen 2. It works up to 20Gbps ultra-fast data transfer while connecting to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. Through the USB Type-C® connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of reversible connection to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
CONNECTING THE FUTURE - Rear USB3.2 Gen 2 Type-C®
AMD's native USB 3.2 Gen 2 provides USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports with speeds up to 10Gbps. With twice the bandwidth compared to its previous generation as well as backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 1, the much improved USB 3.2 Gen 2 protocol is available over the new reversible USB Type-C™ and the traditional USB Type-A connector for better compatibility over a wider range of devices.
High-End Audio Capacitors
AORUS 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 Guard
AORUS motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the board’s sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.
