AORUS M.2 Thermal Guard
GIGABYTE Ultra-Efficient 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.
Thermal Throttling As Temperature Rises
Base plate made of aluminum instead of traditional iron ensures 3X thermal conductivity.
A thin layer of NanoCarbon is coated on the base plate through electrostatic adhesion to
enhance thermal radiation capability.
Transfer heat from the back side PCB to the base plate so the NanoCarbon base plate can
dissipate heat passively.
Effectively lowers backside PWM component temperature by 10%.
NanoCarbon Coating
This specialized nanostructure of carbon molecules has extraordinary thermal conductivity.
Noise Detection
With the new Noise Detection function, you can monitor noise level of all devices including
fans,
CPU coolers, graphics
card, etc. in real time, and you can determine how fast your fan speed needs to be. Our
bundled
Noise Detection cable
doesn’t include any sound recording function, it simply detects sound pressure while
protecting your
privacy.
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.
