EXTREME POWER DESIGN
To unleash the full potential of the latest Intel 11th Gen CPU, the motherboard requires the best CPU power design. With
the best quality components and GIGABYTE R&D design capability, Z590 AORUS ULTRA is a true beast among motherboards.

- Improved Transient
In order to unleash the full performance of the new high core count CPUs, GIGABYTE uses true
power phases, a fully load-balanced VRM design with doublers, and a tantalum polymer
capacitor
array. By using
doublers, the power design
ensures that the high power draw of the CPU is fully balanced across all MOSFETs to achieve
better efficiency and lower
temperatures. In contrast, MOSFETs in competitors' traditional parallel power designs are
not as
well
balanced which leads to lower
efficiency and higher temperatures. For sudden changes between idle and high load states
from
the CPU, GIGABYTE utilizes
a tantalum polymer capacitor array directly under the CPU socket as a buffer to improve
transient response and stability
under high CPU frequencies.

UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE
GIGABYTE understands that our customer won't stop chasing better computer performance, and strive to deliver that in our
products. For the Z590 series, protective and optimized memory trace enhance the performance; faster read and write
speed save time and improve efficiency; and generous M.2 Storage with thermal guards ensure unthrottled read and write
performance. Future upgrades to the Z590 are made possible by the use of PCIe 4.0-ready components.
* XMP Profile support may vary depending on memory module.

Shielded Memory Routing
All memory routing is under the PCB inner layer shielded by a large ground layer
to
protect from
external interference.
Non-shielded
Memory Layout - Daisy Chain Design
With the optimized daisy-chain routing, the Z590 AORUS
motherboard
provides a proven
speed of up to DDR4-5000+ MHz with
high-density Memory module*. Optimized daisy-chained routing eliminates the
stub
effect, pushes the
one DIMM per channel
in dual channel interleaving mode to hit higher memory frequencies,
providing
professional gamers a
denser and faster
system memory experience.
*Performance may vary in circumstances. Please refer to
the QVL
list for detail
support information.
Single 32GB Support
The maximum memory capacity on the Z590 motherboard is
128GB.
After Intel updated the
memory reference code, a single
slot can support up to 32GB. Therefore with populated 2 DIMM per channel
on both
channel, total
memory capacity is
128GB, which was only available on High End Desktop (HEDT) platforms.
For users
who always run out
of memory capacity,
there is more bandwidth now for memory-intensive application such as
rendering
and video editing.

Smart Fan 6
1. Direct-Touch
Heatpipe II
With an extra large 8mm heatpipe and made from a new manufacturing process that narrows the
gap between the heatpipe and
heatsink, the new Direct-Touch Heatpipe II greatly help transfers heat on the MOSFET.
2. 2X Copper PCB
2X Copper PCBs design effectively lower the component temperature by its high thermal
conductivity and low impedance.
3. Fins-Array II
Fins-Array II use a new louvered stacked-fins design which not only increases surface area
by 300% compared to
traditional heatsinks but also improves thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat
exchange.
4. 7.5 W/mK Thermal
Conductivity Pad
By using 1.5mm thicker 7.5 W/mK thermal conductivity pads, it can transfer 4x more heat
compared to traditional thermal
pads in the same time.
5. 3X M.2 Thermal
Guard II
Enlarged double-sided M.2 heatsink prevents high-speed, large capacity PCIe 3.0 SSDs with
double side flash from
throttling due to overheating.
aDVANCED THERMAL SOLUTION
Unthrottled performance is guaranteed by the enhanced thermal solution that incorporates Fins-Array II, Heatpipe II and
Thermal Guards II. The comprehensive solution delivers excellent heat dissipation. The Z590 AORUS ULTRA stays cool on
VRMs and M.2 SSD even on full loading, making it most suitable for enthusiasts, overclockers and professional gamers.
Fins-Array II
Fins-Array II uses brand new louvered stacked fins technology which is
usually only used
on industrial equipment that
need compact heat exchangers. It has a special secondary fins structure that
enhances
heat transfer performance.
Louver Directed Flow
Heat flow that goes through fins will enter from the leading edge of the
louver and is then directed by other louvers or
fins. This louver directed flow can greatly improve heat transfer
performance.

Traditional Stacked Fins
Fins-Array II
Fins-Array II uses brand new louvered stacked fins technology which is
usually only used
on
industrial equipment that need compact heat exchangers. It has a special
secondary fins
structure that enhances heat transfer performance.
Circulation Zone
Because of pressure difference and flow separation, a circulation zone
will be formed
between
louvered fins. This circulation will cause flow entrain and eject in the
vortice form
which
improves thermal efficiency.

NanoCarbon Coated Fin Array Heatsink
As CPUs get more powerful, VRM modules get hotter under ultra high
performance. Being
the first adopters among industry using NanoCarbon as coating material to
enhance
thermal radiation speed up heat dissipation. Nanocarbon is coated onto the
heatsink
through electrostatic adhesion. The coating material covers the entire
finned heatsink
with 200μm in thickness. In that way, heat is dissipated more quickly.
The tests show 10% cooler with the NanoCarbon coating.
Direct-Touch Heatpipe II
With an extra large 8mm heat pipe and made from a new manufacturing
process to narrow the gap between the heat pipe and
heatsink, new Direct-Touch Heatpipe II greatly helps transfer heat on
MOSFETs.
AORUS M.2 Thermal Guard II
With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a new thermal solution for large
capacity M.2 SSD devices with double side
flash. The M.2 Thermal Guard II uses a double-sided heatsink design and
prevents throttling and bottlenecks on high
speed M.2 SSDs by dissipating heat before it becomes an issue.
