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.


Fully Covered MOSFET Heatsink

  • 4X Large Surface - Increased surface area up to 4X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. It improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.
  • Real One-piece Build - TMOS is a TRUE single piece heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface drastically improve the cooling performance against competitors’ multi-piece design.


SMART FAN 6

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.


Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI

  • Improve fan curve UI - We increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for precise and easier fan curve control.
  • Slope/Stair dual graph mode - 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.
  • Manual Input - For advanced users, we provide fan speed manual input for more precise control.
  • EZ Tuning - Use can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve.
  • Fan curve profile - Fan curve profile can be saved in BIOS ROM, profile will be kept after updating BIOS.


High-End Audio Capacitors

GIGABYTE 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.


Audio Noise Guard

GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the board’s sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.

Multi-key

A multi-function reset button that can be reconfigured to other function in BIOS for different user scenarios.


  • RGB Switch - Turn off all lighting effect on motherboard.
  • Direct-To-BIOS - Boot into BIOS menu directly without pressing any keyboard button.
  • Safe Mode - Boot into BIOS safe mode to change specific option without losing other BIOS settings.


PCIe EZ-Latch

Unlock the latch of the PCIe slot easily when remove the graphics card in the PCIe slot.


Q-Flash Plus

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!
