The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue. b SMART FAN 6 b Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM DC fan and pump and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface. b Cooling Features b-High Current Support
Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pump and up to 24W 12V x 2A with Over-Current Protection-Precision Control
Multiple temperature fan speed control points for precise fan curve-Dual Curve Mode
Slope Stair dual mode for different user scenario-Fan Stop
Fan can stop completely below users specified temperature point b Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI
1. Improve fan curve UI b We increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for precise and easier fan curve control. b 2. Slope Stair dual graph mode b Fan curve can be quickly switch with Slope and Stair modes for different user scenario. Slope is traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve. With newly added Stair non-linear mode fan keeps at same speed between specified temperature interval. b 3. Manual Input b For advanced users we provide fan speed manual input for more precise control. b 4. EZ Tuning b Use can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature fan speed and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve. b 5. Fan curve profile b Fan curve profile can be saved in BIOS ROM profile will be kept after updating BIOS. b CONNECTIVITY b GIGABYTE Motherboards enable the ultimate connection experience with blazing data-transfer speeds through the next generation network storage and Wi-Fi connectivity. b Four PCIe 4.0×4 M.2 b GIGABYTE Motherboards are focused on delivering M.2 technology to enthusiasts who want to maximize their system s potential. b 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E b Latest Wireless solution 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E with new dedicated 6GHz band enables gigabit wireless performance provides smooth video streaming better gaming experience few dropped connections and speeds up to 2.4Gbps*.
