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
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. 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.
3. 5 W/mK Thermal Pad
4. 2X Copper PCB
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.
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.
