4+2 Hybrid Digital VRM Solution with Low RDS(on)
MOSFET
GIGABYTE 400 series motherboards use a 4+2 Hybrid digital PWM + Lower RDS(on)
MOSFETs design to support the latest Intel Core 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.
Benefits of Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs
- Optimized gate charge to minimize switching losses.
- Lower temperature, smaller size, better thermal characteristics.
Single 32GB Support
The maximum memory capacity on the B460 motherboard is 128GB. After Intel
updated the memory reference code, a single slot can support up to 32GB.
Therefore with populated 2 DIMM per channel on both channel, total memory
capacity is 128GB, which was only available on High End Desktop (HEDT)
platforms. For users who always run out of memory capacity, there is more
bandwidth now for memory-intensive application such as rendering and video
editing.
Dual PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2
AORUS Gaming Motherboards are focused on delivering M.2 technology to
enthusiasts who want to maximize their system's potential.
Pre-installed I/O Shield Armor | Durable design and easy
installation
- With an integrated base plate, GIGABYTE Motherboards give users a strong
foundation to build their Gaming PCs.
- With an integrated I/O shield, building a GIGABYTE Ultra Durable PC is
even easier.
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.
- 4 Fan / Water Pump Connectors
- 6 Temperature Sensors
- All Fan Pin Headers Upgraded to Hybrid Fan Headers
- Interoperable Fans and Sensors
- Intuitive UI for Fan Control
* Different models have a different number of fan pin headers and temperature
sensors. Smart Fan 5 function may vary by model.
Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives
up-to-the-second information on flow-rate through the Hybrid Fan Pin
Headersgiving 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.
Intel GbE LAN with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator
Networking
Intel 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.
Connecting the Future - USB Type-C | The World's Next Universal
Connector
The USB Type-C is a new reversible connector that is loaded with useful
features such as USB 3.2 Gen1 support and faster charging capabilities. Powered
by the Intel controller, this little port is the better USB Type-C.
Soar Free With WIFI | M.2 E key slot for PCIe WIFI module
Upgardable
WIFI module Upgrade kit offers an easy way to upgrade WIFI Upgradeable
motherboards with new and faster Gigabit WIFI connectivity without having to
upgrade to a whole new system.
High Quality Onboard Audio Design
Delivers high quality sound resolution and sound expansion to create the most
realistic sound effects for professional gamers.
Audio Noise Guard with LED Trace Path Lighting
High-End Audio Components
Multi-Zone Light Show Design
Now offering more LED customizations than ever, users can truly adapt their
PC to represent their lifestyle. With full RGB support and a redesigned RGB
Fusion 2.0 application, the user has complete control over the LEDs which
surround the motherboard.
With an integrated intuitive user interface, the RGB Fusion 2.0 provides you
a better solution for customizing the lighting effects across all supported
devices. From motherboards, graphics cards to the peripheral products, you can
personalize your gaming rig with your own style and show off your build by
sharing the profiles. In addition, the new gaming mode makes the lighting
effects interactive with selected games to bring you the most immersive gaming
experience.
Sync with one click
Individual control as you wish
ULTRA DURABLE
GIGABYTE is reputable for its product durability and high quality
manufacturing process. Needless to say, we use the best components we can find
for the B460 AORUS motherboard and reinforce every slot to make each of them
solid and durable.
Ultra Durable PCIe Armor | Industry Leading Ultra Durable 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.
GIGABYTE Patented Double Locking Bracket
Solid Pin Power Connectors
B460 AORUS motherboards feature solid plated ATX 24pin & ATX 12V 8pin
power connectors to offer a stable power supply during 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
Q-Flash Plus
Update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory and graphics
card.
With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you dont need to install the CPU, memory and
graphics card nor enter the BIOS menu to flash the BIOS. Just download and save
a new BIOS file (rename to gigabyte.bin) on the USB flash drive, then press the
dedicated Q-Flash Plus button and youre good to go!

to fine-tune their system settings or adjust system and memory clocks and
voltages in a Windows environment. With Smart Quick Boost, one click is all it
takes to automatically overclock your system, giving an added performance boost
when you need it the most.
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 system's behavior; these are the possibilities of
