Intel GbE LAN with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator NetworkingN/AIntel 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.N/AN/ANVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 2280 M.2 ConnectorN/AGIGABYTE Motherboards are focused on delivering M.2 technology to enthusiasts who want to maximize their systems potential.N/AN/ASmart Fan 5N/AWith 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.N/AN/AAchieve fan silence. With Fan Stop map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops based on readings from which sensor and at what temperatureall of it can be customized to your liking.N/AN/AHybrid Fan Pin HeadersN/AAssume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow-rate and water-temperature through the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers or external thermistor sensorsgiving you absolute mastery over your PC.N/AAll Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode.N/AN/ANew Smart Fan 5 SoftwareN/AChoose from different modes Quiet to Full Speed to match your system usage preferences.N/AFor each fan or pump you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.N/AN/AHigh-End Audio CapacitorsN/AGIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution and high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers.N/AN/AAudio Noise GuardN/AGIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the boards sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.N/AN/ASTART SULFURIZATION PROTECTIONN/ASulfur compounds in the air can penetrate tiny onboard resistors creating chemical change and causing these resistors to open or short. If either of these occurs the motherboard will fail to function. By equipping resistors with an Anti-Sulfur Design GIGABYTE gives Ultra Durable Motherboards a whole new meaning.N/AN/AThe Industry’s Leading Surge ProtectionN/AGIGABYTE motherboards also feature special anti-surge IC that protect your motherboard helping to ensure that your PC is equipped to deal with any potentially irregular electrical spikes.N/AN/AHumidity Protection Glass Fabric PCBN/AThere is nothing more harmful to the longevity of your PC than moisture and most parts of the world experience moisture in the air as humidity at some point during the year. GIGABYTE motherboards have been designed to make sure that humidity is never an issue incorporating a new Glass Fabric PCB technology that repels moisture caused by humid and damp conditions. Glass Fabric PCB technology uses a new PCB material which reduces the amount of space between the fiber weave making it much more difficult for moisture to penetrate compared to traditional motherboard PCBs. This offers much better protection from short circuit and system malfunction caused by humid and damp conditions.N/AN/AHigh Temperature Protection Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs DesignN/AGIGABYTE motherboards use Low RDS(on) MOSFETs which reduce energy wastage through unnecessary residual heat dissipation. This all amounts to tangible energy savings which are beneficial for both end-users and the environment without impacting system performance.N/AN/ARefreshed BIOSN/AThe BIOS is essential for users during initial setup to allow for the most optimal settings. With a new GUI and easier to use functionalities GIGABYTE has been able to reinvent the BIOS to give users a better experience while setting up their new system.N/AN/AAPP CENTERN/AGIGABYTE APP CENTER is an useful portal of all GIGABYTE MB utilities and drivers you can choose any utility you want to install from APP CENTER and keep you updated with latest utilities and drivers version.N/AN/AEasyTuneN/AGIGABYTE’s EasyTune is a simple and easy-to-use interface that allows users 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.N/AN/A@BIOSN/AThe GIGABYTE @BIOS app allows you to update your systems BIOS from within Windows using a simple and slick graphical user interface. @BIOS can automatically download the latest version from the GIGABYTE servers or you can update your BIOS from a file on your computer. @BIOS also allows you to save your current BIOS to a file recover your previous BIOS from an image and backup your BIOS to an image.N/AN/ASystem Information ViewerN/AGIGABYTE 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 the System Information Viewer.
