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. Advanced Thermal Heatsinks
Advanced thermal 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.
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
- High Current Support
- Precision Control
- Dual Curve Mode
- Fan Stop
Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection

Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI
1
Improve fan curve UI
We increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for
precise
and easier fan curve
control.
2
Slope/Stair dual graph mode
Fan curve can be quickly switch with Slope and Stair modes for different
user
scenario. Slope is
traditional and
intuitive linear fan speed curve. With newly added Stair non-linear
mode, fan
keeps at same speed
between specified
temperature interval.
3
Manual Input
For advanced users, we provide fan speed manual input for more precise
control.
4
EZ Tuning
Use can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed, and
Smart Fan 6
can quickly generate a
fan curve.
