PERFORMANCE
10*+2 Phases Digital VRM Design with Low RDS(on) MOSFET
Optimized for 8-Core IntelCore
CPU
GIGABYTE GAMING series motherboards use a 10*+2 phase PWM + Lower
RDS(on) MOSFETs design to support the latest 8-Core IntelCore
CPUs by offering incredible precision in delivering power to the motherboard's
most power- hungry and energy-sensitive components as well as delivering
enhanced system performance and ultimate hardware scalability.
* Doubled from 5 phases with current balancing.
Benefits of Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs
- Optimized gate charge to minimize switching losses.
- Lower temperature, smaller size, better thermal
characteristics.
Advanced Thermal Design
- M.2 Thermal Guard - Cover with 110 M.2 Heatsinks keep SSD
performance.
- MOSFET Heatsinks - Multiple cuts on heatsinks improves thermal
performance by increasing heat dissipation surface and maintain stylish
aesthetic.
- Thick Thermal Pad - Improved thickness of the thermal pad to
1.5mm, gives superior heat dissipation of MOSFETs.

CONNECTIVITY
IntelGbE
LAN with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator
Networking
IntelGbE
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.
The Industry's Leading LAN
Static-Electricity & Surge
Protection
GIGABYTE motherboards use ICs with up to 3
times the ESD resistance levels compared to traditional ICs. This helps to
better protect the motherboard and its components against potential damage
caused by static electricity.GIGABYTE motherboards also feature special
anti-surge ICs that protect your motherboard, and your PC from any surge in
power delivery that may occur, helping to ensure that your PC is equipped to
deal with any potentially irregular and inconsistent power
delivery.
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
Dual-Mode M.2 Slot
Design
Support both PCIe NVMe + SATA
SSDs
GIGABYTE Motherboards are built with dual M.2
slots. With a PCIe NVMe + SATA dual-mode design on both M.2 slots. This
configuration is designed for flexibility and adaptation to fit most users' and
gamers' requests.

PERFORMANCE FUELED BY
OPTANE
The Z390 Platform supports Intel's latest
Optane technology. Optane fuels storage performance by acting as a cache drive
giving users a significant boost compared to traditional mechanical
drives.
Native Intel USB 3.1 Gen 2
Controller
Intel's native USB 3.1 host controller provides
USB 3.1 ports with speeds up to 10Gbps. Available over the USB Type-A connector,
the USB 3.1 is much improved with twice the bandwidth compared to its previous
generation as well as backwards compatibility with USB2.0 and
3.0.
COOLING
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.

High-End Audio
Capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio
capacitors. These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution and high
fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for
gamers.
Audio Noise
Guard
GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio
noise guard that essentially separates the boards sensitive analog audio
components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level. LED trace path
lighting Illuminates to show the separation of the PCB
layers.

Diagnostic LEDs
Hardware Troubleshooting at a Glance
Onboard LEDs controlled by the system BIOS indicate if a malfunction is
occurring, allowing users to quickly diagnose which major component
(CPU/DDR/VGA/HDD) is malfunctioning so they may take action promptly.
START SULFURIZATION PROTECTION
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.
GIGABYTE Patented DualBIOS 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.
