To unleash full potential of multi-cores CPU performance

For CPU integrated GPU performance

Provide stable power for CPU integrated PCIe & Memory controller

GIGABYTE PerfDrive
PerfDrive technology integrates multiple GIGABYTE exclusive BIOS settings to allow users to balance between different levels of performance, power consumption, and temperature according to their needs easily when using 13th gen Intel® Core™ processors.
Optimization
Instant 6GHz
Spec Enhance
E-Core™ Disable
The Optimization mode allows Intel® 13th Gen. Core™ CPU to run at all-cores high-speed without throttling under overheating.
Instant 6GHz provide an easy way for users to run Intel® Core™ i9-13900K, i9-13900KF, i7-13700K, and i7-13700KF CPUs beyond 6GHz by simply activating the related BIOS setting.
The Spec Enhance mode enables Intel® 13th Gen. Core™ CPU to balance between high performance and low temperature.
The E-Core™ Disable mode allocates CPU resources to P-core exclusively to boost its overclocking and gaming performance, while diminishing the overall power consumption of processors.

Outstanding Thermal Design
Thermal Design
Thermal Guard III
12-Layer PCB
Smart Fan 6
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.​

2. M.2 Thermal Guard III
3. Hybrid PCH & M.2 Heatsink
4. Aluminum Baseplate
3% Cooler by implementing
2X copper PCB Design
By adopting 2X copper on PCB inner layer, it lowers the components' temperature at least 3% by turning the PCB into a super thin PCB size copper heatsink to dissipate the heat from the components effectively, due to it’s high thermal conductivity and lower impedance.
