Program On Top Gets Highest Priority
Real-Time Network Monitoring
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.
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.
- 3 Fan Headers
- 5 Temperature Sensors
- All Fan Pin Headers Upgraded to Hybrid Fan Headers
- Interoperable Fans and Sensors
- Intuitive UI for Fan
Control
Fan Stop
Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, map any fan to stop completely when
temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops, based on
readings from which sensor, and at what temperatureall of it can be customized
to your liking.
Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives
up-to-the-second information on flow-rate and water-temperature through the
Hybrid Fan Pin Headers or external thermistor sensorsgiving you absolute mastery
over your PC.
All
Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether
it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode.
New Smart Fan 5 Software
Choose from different modes, Quiet to Full Speed, to match your system usage
preferences. For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to
define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
PERFORMANCE

To create a seamless VR experience GIGABYTE GAMING Motherboards offer the
best features to make your virtual reality feel like your actual reality. With
technologies such as NVMe support via M.2 or U.2 and a one piece metal shielding
to brace for heavier discrete graphics cards it's obvious that GIGABYTE GAMING
has the tools you need to start your journey in VR.
LIGHTING
Supports RGB Light Strips in 7 Colors
Personalize your next PC rig to your liking by selecting the color of your
choice to illuminate the external RGB light strip. A total of 7 colors are
available to make your system appearance unique!
GIGABYTE RGB Fusion APP
Don't just make your PC shine, make it a work of art that friends will envy.
With the GIGABYTE RGB Fusion mobile app users can watch as they control the
lighting within their gaming PC. This gives users ease of access as they try and
adjust colors and speeds for different modes, all this can be achieved away from
the keyboard and monitor of their PC.
AUDIO
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.
ULTRA DURABLE
Solid Pin Power Connectors
Make Good Connection and Significantly Lower the Wires
Capacity
GIGABYTE 400-series motherboards feature solid plated ATX 24pin & ATX 12V
8pin power connectors for offering stable power supply while CPU
overloading.
Solid Pin Power connector advantages
-
Larger
contact area for electricity
-
More
metal quantity to sustain higher power and generated heat
-
Ultra
durable and longer lifespan
GIGABYTE Patented Double Locking Bracket
Ultra Durableâ„¢ PCIe Armor Industry Leading Ultra Durableâ„¢ PCIe
Armor
The innovative one piece stainless steel shielding design from GIGABYTE
reinforces the PCIe connectors to provide the extra strength required to support
heavy graphics cards.
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
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.
EXCELLENCE
Refreshed BIOS
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.
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.
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 AMD RadeonGraphics
via HDMI.
HDMIâ„¢ - 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.
