5+3 Phases Pure Digital VRM Solution with Low RDS(on) MOSFETs
GIGABYTE AORUS series motherboards use a 5+3 phases pure digital PWM + Low RDS(on) MOSFETs design to
support the 3rd Gen
AMD Ryzen™ CPUs by offering incredible precision in delivering power to the motherboard's most
power-hungry and
energy-sensitive components as well as delivering enhanced system performance and ultimate hardware
scalability.
NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 Connector (Up to 32 GB/s)
AORUS Gaming Motherboards are focused on delivering M.2 technology to enthusiasts who
want to maximize their system's
potential.
The Industry's Leading LAN Static-Electricity & Surge Protection
GIGABYTE motherboards use ICs with up to 3 times the ESD resistance levels compared to traditional
ICs. This helps to
better protect the motherboard and its components against potential damage caused by static
electricity. GIGABYTE
motherboards also feature special anti-surge ICs that protect your motherboard and your PC from any
surge in power
delivery that may occur, ensuring that your PC is equipped to deal with any potentially
irregular and
inconsistent power delivery.
Exclusive Realtek 8118 Gaming LAN
High Speed Gigabit LAN with Automatic Bandwidth Allocation
Realtek 8118 LAN is a high performance and friendly network chip for gaming players with automatic
bandwidth allocation to
ensure the highest network priority of the game or application. It can provide users the most
comprehensive
features and the fastest and smoothest Internet experience.

Real-Time Network Monitoring
HDMI 2.1 for 4K / 60P / 21:9 / HDCP 2.3 Support
HDMI 2.1, which is backwards compatible with HDMI 2.0/ 1.4 and offering 48 Gb/s of bandwidth – twice
times more than
previous generation. This unlocks the potential for users to transfer multiple video streams, as
well as a native
cinematic 21:9 ratio (which most movies are shot in), Full HDR and HDCP 2.3 support, to offer the
best visual experience
for viewers.
Note: Only New Gen AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics processors support displaying function.
Smart Fan 5
With Smart Fan 5 users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM and Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.

Smart Fan 5 Software
Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops, based on readings from which sensor, and at what temperature—all of it can be customized to your liking.
Intelligent Fan Control Design
Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow-rate
through the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers—giving you absolute mastery over your PC.
All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM
or Voltage mode.
New Smart Fan 5 Software
Choose from different modes, Quiet to Full Speed, to match your system
usage
preferences.
For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
Multi-Zone Light Show Design
Now offering more LED customizations than ever, users can truly adapt their PC to represent their lifestyle. With full
RGB support and a redesigned RGB Fusion 2.0 application, the user has complete control over the LEDs which surround the
motherboard.
Note: Lighting effects depicted are for demonstration purposes only. Actual lighting effects may

Individual control as you wish
GIGABYTE RGB Fusion APP
Don't just make your PC shine, make it a work of art that friends will envy. With the GIGABYTE RGB Fusion mobile app users can watch as they control the lighting within their gaming PC. This gives users ease of access as they try and adjust colors and speeds for different modes, all this can be achieved away from the keyboard and monitor of their PC.
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.
Q-Flash Plus
Update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory and graphics card.
With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you don’t need to install the CPU, memory and
graphics
card nor
enter the BIOS menu to flash
the BIOS. Just download and save a new BIOS file (rename to gigabyte.bin) on
the USB
flash
drive, then press the
dedicated Q-Flash Plus button and you’re good to go!
Ultra Durable™ PCIe Armor
Industry Leading Ultra Durable™ PCIe Armor
The innovative one piece stainless steel shielding design from
GIGABYTE

strength required to support heavy graphics cards.
GIGABYTE Patented Double Locking Bracket
Solid Pin Power Connectors
A520 AORUS motherboards feature solid plated ATX 12V 8pin power
connectors to offer a stable power supply
during CPU overloading.
Solid Pin Power connector advantages
- Larger contact area for electricity
- More metal quantity to sustain higher power and generated heat
- Ultra durable and longer lifespan
START SULFURIZATION PROTECTION
Sulfur compounds in the air can penetrate tiny onboard resistors creating chemical change and causing these resistors to open or short. If either of these occurs the motherboard will fail to function. By equipping resistors with an Anti-Sulfur Design GIGABYTE gives Ultra Durable Motherboards a whole new meaning.
