12 Phases IR Digital VRM Solution with 70A Power Stage

To unleash the full power of the new Intel 18 core CPU, the motherboard demands un-precedented strong power solution. GIGABYTE R&Ds selects the best components and never stop pursuing the highest overclock performance. That makes X299X DESIGNARE 10G an un-beatable motherboard in the market.

• 70A IR Power Stage for each vCore Phase
• High current capacity MOSFET
• Lower temperature
• Server level reliability

X299X DESIGNARE 10G motherboard adopts an all IR digital CPU power design which includes a digital PWM Controller with Power Stage MOSFET and is capable of providing 70A of power from each phase, for a total of incredible 840A. This 100% digital controller and additional 8+8 Solid-pin CPU Power Connectors offer incredible precision in delivering power to the motherboard's most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components, allowing enthusiasts to get the absolute maximum performance from the new 18-core 10th Gen Intel^® Core™ X processors.

Re-engineered Thermal Solution

With CPU draws bigger power than ever. Thermal solution are pushed to a limit. X299X DESIGNARE 10G features full Board Thermal Protection with Fins-Array and 6mm Balancing Heat Pipes . In order to place full Board Thermal Protection , we try hard to clear a path for it. Furthers, fins-Array Heatsink which increases the heat dissipation area by 300% compared to regular heatsinks of the same size. By using LAIRD 1.5mm thick, 5W/mK high thermal conductivity pad, it transfers 2.7x more heat than regular thermal pads in the same time period. 6mm Heatpipe helps to transfer heat between heatsinks which to get thermal balance more quickly. On the back, we use Nanocarbon coating on baseplate, which leads to 10% cooler MOSFETs.

1. Fins-Array Heatsink
Increase 300% heat dissipation area compared to traditional heatsink in same size.

2. High Thermal Conductivity Pad
By using 1.5mm thicker 5 W/mK thermal conductivity pad, it transfer 2.7x more heat than usual thermal pad in the same time period.

3. Aluminum Baseplate
Provides stronger support to the platform as well as better radiant heat dissipation.

4. 3 x 6mm Heatpipe
Heatpipe helps to transfer heat between heatsinks that helps to get thermal balance of the MOSFETs more quickly.

GIGABYTE's exclusive 2X copper PCIe 4.0 Ready PCBs design provides sufficient power trace paths between components to handle greater than normal power loads and to remove heat from the critical CPU power delivery area. This is essential to ensure the motherboard is able to handle the increased power loading that is necessary when overclocking.

Support for DDR4 to 4333MHz and Beyond

GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility to 4333MHz and beyond.

Smart Fan 5

With Smart Fan 5 users can ensure that their 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.
