H470I AORUS PRO AX motherboard use 5+1 phases digital PWM Controller and DrMOS. This 100% digital controller, new Tantalum Polymer Capacitors array, and Solid-pin CPU Power Connectors offer incredible precision and stability in delivering power to the motherboard's most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components, allowing professional worker and gamer to get the incredible high performance from the latest 10 core 10th Gen. Intel® Core™ processors.
GIGABYTE's exclusive 2X Copper PCBs design provides sufficient power trace paths between components to handle greater than normal power loads and to remove heat from the critical CPU power delivery area. This is essential to ensure the motherboard is able to handle the increased power loading that is necessary when overclocking.
10 Layers PCB
For richer feature and powerful performance on mini-ITX board H470I AORUS PRO AX, ten layers mid-loss PCB was adopted to make it work. Comparing with regular 8 layer PCB, two more layers for power solution and ground is added. In order to fully support 10th gen ten core CPU and get ready for the future, power trace need more space than previous generation. An extra layer is exclusively for the power delivery. Furthermore, a complete ground layer improves the signal integrity and helps PCB to dissipate heat. Along with ten layered, low impedance, 2X Copper PCB, H470I AORUS PRO AX is unbeatable among motherboards.
Unparalleled Performance
With the best quality components and GIGABYTE R&D design capability, the H470 AORUS is a true beast among motherboards.
