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
Fins-Array III
Thermal Guard III
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.
M.2 Thermal Guard III
M.2 Thermal Guard III constructed with 9X optimized heat dissipation surface to prevent throttling and bottleneck that high-speed/ large capacity of PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs may cause, especially under heavy workload.The special design of heatsink grooves in the direction of CPU further enhances the in-chassis air flow and optimizes the heat convection efficiency.
Throttle-free Performance
*The result is based on internal lab test for reference only, real performance may vary. Test conditions are under open case, 25˚C ambient temperature, no airflow, AIO Cooler and the latest Gen5 SSD running IO meter for two hours.
* The appearance design of M.2 Thermal III may affect the CPU tower cooler installation; therefore, it is recommend to use CPU liquid cooler.
