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.

Thermal Design

• Fully Covered Thermal Design
• M.2 Thermal Guard III with Active Cooling
• 12-Layer & 2X Copper PCB Coating
• Hybrid PCH & M.2 Heatsink
• NanoCarbon Baseplate

NanoCarbon Baseplate

1. Base plate made of aluminum instead of traditional iron ensures 3X thermal conductivity.
2. A thin layer of NanoCarbon is coated on the base plate through electrostatic adhesion to enhance thermal radiation capability.
3. Transfer heat from the back side PCB to the base plate so the NanoCarbon base plate can dissipate heat passively.
4. Effectively lowers backside PWM component temperature by 10%.

NanoCarbon Coating

This specialized nanostructure of carbon molecules has extraordinary thermal conductivity.

Thermal Guard III

M.2 Thermal Guard III with Active Cooling

M.2 Thermal Guard III with Active Cooling constructed with 6X optimized heat dissipation surface to prevent throttling and bottleneck that high-speed/ large capacity of M.2 SSDs may cause, especially under heavy workload. The special design of heatsink grooves in the direction of CPU further enhances the in-chassis air flow and optimizes the heat convection efficiency.

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

Wi-Fi 6E bring you the Ultimate VR experience!

Wi-Fi 6E brings faster Wi-Fi speeds, lower latency, and better battery life for VR devices, which means streaming VR games wirelessly from your PC to your VR device offers a lot smoother and has higher quality video.

Wi-Fi 6E compared to Wi-Fi 5 provide:

• 40% faster speed for smoother gaming/streaming experience
• 50% higher resolution for video game related content
• Better battery life for VR devices

Wi-Fi 6E Advantage

Spectrum congestion is huge problem in current Wi-Fi environment nowadays because too many devices all use existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum, and it cause unreliable connection and slower speed. Wi-Fi 6E is extended standard to Wi-Fi 6, and it use dedicated 6GHz band that it provides not only brand new frequency to transfer data, but also spacious spectrum for future more devices. With Wi-Fi 6E, users can enjoy faster connection and stronger signal than before.
