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.
All Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
- All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device
whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode.
- Supports up to 2 amps with built-in overcurrent protection—a must for
high-end high current fans.

New Smart Fan 5 Software
Choose from different modes, Quiet to Full Speed, to match your system usage
scenario. For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define
trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
Interoperable Sensors and Fans
- Each fan can be customized to operate at different speeds according to any
defined temperature source input (except the CPU fan).
Fan Curve
- Customize fan curves based on specific temperatures with the intuitive
graphical UI.
Enhanced BIOS Interface
The enhanced BIOS interface also has the advanced features seen in the Smart
Fan 5 UI, such as: the ability to set triggers based on different temperature
sensors on the board, fan curve definition and the temperature interval setting,
which can prevent fan rotation noise caused by sudden temperature changeall
without having to load Windows.
Immersive VR Gaming Experience
- VR requires more performance than Full HD graphics for a steady 90FPS or
greater.
- Only Gaming PCs can provide the best VR experience.
NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 2280 M.2 Connector
GIGABYTE M.2 solution offers considerably faster storage performance and
support for both PCIe and SATA interface for M.2 SSD devices.
Realtek GbE LAN with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator
Networking
Realtek Gbe LAN features cFosSpeed, a network traffic management application
which helps to improve network latency and maintain low ping times to deliver
better responsiveness in crowded LAN environments.
Anti-Sulfur Resistor Design
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.
High Quality Onboard Audio Design
Delivers high quality sound resolution and sound expansion to create the most
realistic sound effects for professional gamers.
Humidity Protection Glass Fabric PCB
There is nothing more harmful to the longevity of your PC than moisture, and
most parts of the world experience moisture in the air as humidity at some point
during the year. GIGABYTE motherboards have been designed to make sure that
humidity is never an issue, incorporating a new Glass Fabric PCB technology that
repels moisture caused by humid and damp conditions. Glass Fabric PCB technology
uses a new PCB material which reduces the amount of space between the fiber
weave, making it much more difficult for moisture to penetrate compared to
traditional motherboard PCBs. This offers much better protection from short
circuit and system malfunction caused by humid and damp conditions.
High Temperature Protection Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs Design
GIGABYTE motherboards use Low RDS(on) MOSFETs which reduce energy wastage
through unnecessary residual heat dissipation. This all amounts to tangible
energy savings which are beneficial for both end-users and the environment
without impacting system performance.
High Definition Digital Outputs
Enjoy true HD display capability using the most commonly integrated digital
output technologies on todays HD displays and TVs.
Refreshed BIOSEasy, Smart, and Friendly
The BIOS is essential for users during initial setup to allow for the most
optimal settings. With a new GUI and easier to use functionalities, GIGABYTE has
been able to reinvent the BIOS to give users a better experience while setting
up their new system.
GIGABYTE APP Center
The GIGABYTE APP Center gives you easy access to a wealth of GIGABYTE apps
that help you get the most from your GIGABYTE motherboard. Using a simple,
unified user interface, GIGABYTE APP Center allows you to easily launch all
GIGABYTE apps installed on your system, check related updates online, and
download the latest apps, drivers, and BIOS.
System Information Viewer
GIGABYTE System Information Viewer is a central location that gives you
access to your current system status. Monitor components such as the clocks and
processor, set your preferred fan speed profile, create alerts when temperatures
get too high or record your systems behavior; these are the possibilities of the
System Information Viewer.
@BIOS
The GIGABYTE @BIOS app allows you to update your systems BIOS from within
Windows using a simple and slick graphical user interface. @BIOS can
automatically download the latest version from the GIGABYTE serversor you can
update your BIOS from a file on your computer. @BIOS also allows you to save
your current BIOS to a file, recover your previous BIOS from an image and backup
your BIOS to an image.
3D OSD
3D OSD automatically detects and displays your system information during
games, allowing you to easily get a hold of your system information without
switching between screens.
GIGABYTE Patented DualBIOS (UEFI) Design
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboards feature GIGABYTE DualBIOS, an exclusive
technology from GIGABYTE that protects arguably one of your PC's most crucial
components, the BIOS. GIGABYTE DualBIOS means that your motherboard has both a
'Main BIOS' and a 'Backup BIOS', protecting users from BIOS failure due to
virus, hardware malfunction, improper OC settings or power failure during the
update process.
4K Ultra HD Support
4K resolution is the next technological milestone in high-definition content
delivery, utilizing approximately 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis, more than
four times today's standard HD pixel density. GIGABYTE motherboards provide
native 4K support with integrated Intel HD Graphics via HDMI.
HDMI - The Next Generation Multimedia Interface
HDMI is a High-Definition Multimedia Interface which provides up to 5Gb/s
video transmitting bandwidth and 8-channel high quality audio all through a
single cable. Able to transmit superior, uncompressed digital video and audio,
HDMI ensures the crispest rendering of digital content up to 1080p without the
quality losses associated with analog interfaces and their digital-to-analog
conversion. In addition, HDMI is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection), allowing the playback of Blu-ray/HD DVD and other protected
media content.
