Description

Digital VRM Design

To ensure maximum Turbo Boost and overclocking performance of Intel's new generation CPU, GIGABYTE Z690 series equip the best VRM design ever built with the highest quality components.

The more advanced manufacturing process and the higher core count on the new generation of CPUs, requires motherboards to utilize a more sophisticated VRM design to make CPUs run at their full potential. GIGABYTE uses fully DIRECT VRM DESIGN, high quality MOSFETs and tantalum polymer capacitors to achieve higher efficiency, lower voltage ripple and lower temperature than traditional parallel VRM design.

    Tantalum Polymer Capacitor

    • Lower impedance than regular capacitor to reduce voltage ripple​
    • Stable capacitance under high temperature​
    • Mounted right under the CPU area to stabilize CPU voltage during heavy loading


    Hybrid Cores Optimization

    With new Intel Hybrid technology, GIGABYTE exclusively creates two new "CPU Upgrade" in BIOS profiles to meet different users’ scenarios by adjusting P-Core and E-Core activation and voltage policy.




    Support for DDR5 XMP Up to 6000MHz and Beyond*

    AORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 6000MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their AORUS motherboard.


    XTREME MEMORY

    GIGABYTE Z690 Motherboards feature the latest DDR5 architecture and XMP 3.0 capability. The new DDR5 memory technology brings 50% more bandwidth to the platform and increases the system performance drastically by implementing Unlocked Native DDR5 Voltage, Xtreme Memory Routing and reliable SMD slot. In addition to the hardware upgrades, the user friendly UI provides full functionality to overclock higher with exclusive DDR5 tuning capability. 


    Unlock DDR5 Voltage

    GIGABYTE’s exclusive design unlocks Native DDR5 PMIC secure mode into programmable mode and control Native DDR5 voltage with wide range.

    • GIGABYTE exclusive circuit design unlocks Native DDR5 voltage control
    • Transforms Native DDR5 memory module to Overclocked DDR5 memory
    • Increases DDR5 memory overclocking performance and capability
    • Supports all PMIC vendors for maximum compatibility

    Shielded Memory Routing

    All memory routing is under the PCB inner layer shielded by a large ground layer to protect from external interference.


    THERMAL REACTIVE ARMOR

    GIGABYTE Z690 Series Motherboards' Un-throttled 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.


    M.2 Thermal Guard III

    M.2 Thermal Guard uses double-sided thermal pads to elevate the height of M.2 heatsink as increasing surface area to dissipate heats from M.2 SSDs. M.2 Thermal Guard III constructed with 5.6X optimized heat dissipation surface to prevent throttling and bottleneck that high-speed/ large capacity of PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSDs may cause, especially under heavy workload.


    3% Cooler by implementing 2X copper PCB Design

    By adopting 2X copper on PCB inner layer, it lowers the components' temperature at least 3% by turning the PCB into a super thin PCB size copper heatsink to dissipate the heat from the components effectively, due to it’s high thermal conductivity and lower impedance.

    New Introduce Intel® WIFI 6 802.11ax + BT 5 Module

    Intel Wireless solution supports 802.11ax, enables gigabit wireless performance, provides smooth video streaming, better gaming experience, few dropped connections and speeds up to 2.4Gbps*. Moreover, Bluetooth 5 provides 4X range over BT 4.2 and with faster transmission.


    Benefit of WIFI 6

    • 5.5X throughput than 802.11ac 1x1*
    • 4X better network capacity, no traffic jams especially in those dense area with lots of devices
    • Network efficiency increase for better user experience


    2X Faster than ever

    Adoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least 2 times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with ultimate online gaming experience.


    HDMI 2.0 for 4K UHD Display and HDCP 2.2 supported

    HDMI 2.0, which is backwards compatible with HDMI 1.4, offers 18 Gb/s of bandwidth – nearly twice that of the previous generation. This unlocks the potential for users to transfer multiple video streams, as well as a native cinematic 21:9 ratio (which most movies are shot in), offering the best visual experience for viewers.

    DEFINITIVE AESTHETICS

    GIGABYTE motherboards bundle several useful and intuitive software to help users to control every aspect of motherboard and provide customizable lighting effect with outstanding aesthetics to fit your unique personality.


    Update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory and graphics card.

    With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you don’t need to install the CPU, memory and graphics card nor enter the BIOS menu to flash the BIOS. Just download and save a new BIOS file (rename to gigabyte.bin) on the USB flash drive, then press the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button and you’re good to go!


    Solid Pin Power Connectors

    AORUS motherboards feature solid plated ATX 24pin & ATX 12V 8pin power connectors to offer a stable power supply during CPU overloading.

    Solid Pin Power connector advantages

    • Larger contact area for electricity
    • More metal quantity to sustain higher power and generated heat
    • Ultra durable and longer lifespa
