Power Efficiency & Voltage Ripple Graph

1. Fins-Array

Fins-Array increases the heat dissipation surface by 300% compared to traditional heatsinks of the same size.

2. Extended Heatpipe

Heatpipes transfer heat between heatsinks to get thermal balance more quickly.

3. 3X PCIe 4.0 M.2 Heatsink

Enlarged M.2 heatsink prevents new generation PCIe 4.0 SSD from throttled performance under overheat condition.

4. LAIRD Thermal Pad

By using 1.5mm thicker 5 W/mK thermal conductivity pad, it can transfer 2.7x more heat than usual thermal pad in the same time.

5. Ultra Durable Baseplate

Aluminum baseplate is 3x thermal conductivity than steel one ensuring efficient thermal dissipation.

6. TRX40 Chipset Heatsink

Reactive chipset heatsink with grooves ensures TRX40 chipset run cool and quiet.

7. 5cm Ball Bearing Silent Fan

Built-in 5cm ball bearing fan to cool down TRX40 chipset, it will completely stop under idle condition to extend fan life cycle.

GIGABYTE's exclusive 2X Copper 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 4400MHz and Beyond

GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility to 4400MHz and beyond.
