Smart Fan 6
Outstanding Thermal Design
GIGABYTE Motherboards' Un-throttled 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 MOSFET Heatsink
High coverage MOSFET and integrated molding Heatsinks to improve thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat exchange.
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.
5. 6-Layer & 2X Copper PCB
2X copper PCBs design effectively lower the component temperature by its high thermal conductivity and low impedance.
1. 3X Large Surface
Increased surface area up to 3X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. It improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.
2. 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.
SMART FAN 6
Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fan and pump, and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface.
Cooling Features

because too
many
devices all use
existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum, and it cause unreliable connection
and slower
speed.
Wi-Fi 6E is extended standard to Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 6E, users
can enjoy
faster
connection and stronger signal
than before.
