Provide stable power for CPU integrated PCIe & Memory controller
Digital PWM Controller
VRM design uses RENESAS RAA229131 PWM controller that directly drives 15 phases for the highest efficiency.
105A Power Stage
Each vcore VRM phase uses 105A RAA220105 Power stage for maximum current capacity under extreme overclocking.
Tantalum Capacitor Matrix
VRM design uses 100% full tantalum polymer capacitors for better transient response and less mechanical interference with extreme overclocking cooling device.
Dual CPU Power Connectors
Dual 8 pin CPU power connectors with metal shielding provide maximal current input to processor.

Power Architecture
GIGABYTE DIRECT VRM DESIGN
The more advanced manufacturing process and the higher core count on the new generation of CPUs, requires motherboards to utilize a more sophisticated VRM design to make CPUs run at their full potential. GIGABYTE uses fully DIRECT VRM DESIGN, high quality MOSFETs and tantalum polymer capacitors to achieve higher efficiency, lower voltage ripple and lower temperature than traditional parallel VRM design.![](/FileUpload/Global/KeyFeature/1996/innergigabyteimages/gigabyte-power-design.jpg)
![](/FileUpload/Global/KeyFeature/1996/innergigabyteimages/line.png)
Tantalum Polymer Capacitor Matrix
By using 100% tantalum polymer capacitors design, it's easier for professional
overclockers to insulate VRM area and use
LN2 pot to cool down CPU without mechanical interference.

PCIe 5.0 DESIGN
GIGABYTE Z690 Motherboards are ready to work with the upcoming PCIe 5.0 devices
which are expected to
experience
double bandwidth than the current PCIe 4.0 devices. To reach the high speed and
maintain good signal
integrity,
Gigabyte R&D uses the low impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance.

WIFI 6E Advantage
Spectrum congestion is huge problem in current WIFI environment nowadays because too
many
devices all use
existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum, and it cause unreliable connection and slower
speed.
WIFI 6E is extended standard to WIFI 6, and it use dedicated 6GHz band that it
provides not only
brand new frequency to
transfer data,
but also spacious spectrum for future more devices. With WIFI 6E, users can enjoy
faster
connection and stronger signal
than before.
