To unleash full potential of multi-cores CPU performance

For CPU integrated GPU performance

Provide stable power for CPU integrated PCIe & Memory controller

* 6+6 phases parallel power design

GIGABYTE PerfDrive

PerfDrive technology integrates multiple GIGABYTE exclusive BIOS settings to allow users to balance between different levels of performance, power consumption, and temperature according to their needs easily when using 13th gen Intel^® Core™ processors.

Optimization

Instant 6GHz

Spec Enhance

E-Core™ Disable

The Optimization mode allows Intel^® 13th Gen. Core™ CPU to run at all-cores high-speed without throttling under overheating.

Instant 6GHz provide an easy way for users to run Intel^® Core™ i9-13900K, i9-13900KF, i7-13700K, and i7-13700KF CPUs beyond 6GHz by simply activating the related BIOS setting.

The Spec Enhance mode enables Intel^® 13th Gen. Core™ CPU to balance between high performance and low temperature.

The E-Core™ Disable mode allocates CPU resources to P-core exclusively to boost its overclocking and gaming performance, while diminishing the overall power consumption of processors.

Outstanding Thermal Design

Thermal Design

Fully Covered MOSFET Heatsink

M.2 Thermal Guard

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

High coverage MOSFET and integrated molding Heatsinks to improve thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat exchange.

2. 6-Layer & 2X Copper PCB

2X Copper PCBs design effectively lower the component temperature by its high thermal conductivity and low impedance.

3. 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.

4. 5 W/mK Thermal Pad

5. 6mm Heatpipe

1. 4X Large Surface

Increased surface area up to 4X 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.

2. 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.

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.

First adopter on 2.5GbE LAN onboard

2X Faster than ever

Adoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5GbE network connectivity, with at least 2 times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with ultimate online gaming experience.

Support Multi-Gig(10/100/1000/2500Mbps) RJ-45 Ethernet

Connecting the Future - 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 - Front USB3.2 Gen 2 Type-C^®

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 Gen1, 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

GIGABYTE 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

GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the board’s sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.
