Features Suitable for Crypto Mining Supports 7th/ 6th Generation Intel Core™ Processors Dual Channel Non-ECC Unbuffered DDR4, 4 DIMMs 2-Way Cross Fire™ Multi-Graphics Support Dual NVMe PCIe SSDs in RAID 0 Support Intel Optane™ Memory Ready Ultra-Fast M.2 with PCIe Gen 3 x 4 & SATA interface Triple display interfaces including High Definition Multimedia Interface High Quality Audio Capacitors & Audio Noise Guard with LED Trace Path Lighting Intel Gb E LAN with c Fos Speed Internet Accelerator Software Smart Fan 5 features Multiple Temperature Sensors & Hybrid Fan Headers GIGABYTE UEFI Dual BIOS™ APP Center Including Easy Tune™ & Cloud Station™ Utilities Overview Crypto Mining Support With 6 PCI e slots in total this motherboard is ideal for crypto mining. Please note that a BIOs update from the manufacture will be needed in order to support the PCIe slots to be used simultaneously. Smart Fan 5 With 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 & Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly. All Hybrid Fan Pin Headers • Hybrid Fan Headers detect whether the cooling device uses PWM or Voltage mode & automatically switches settings accordingly. • Supports up to 2 amps with built-in overcurrent protection—a must for high-end high current fans. Enhanced BIOS Interface The enhanced BIOS interface also has the advanced features seen in the Smart Fan 5 UI, such as: the ability to set triggers based on different temperature sensors on the board, fan curve definition & the temperature interval setting, which can prevent fan rotation noise caused by sudden temperature change—all without having to load Windows. Immersive VR Gaming Experience > VR requires more performance than Full HD graphics for a steady 90FPS or greater. > Only Gaming PCs can provide the best VR experience. High Definition Digital Outputs Enjoy true HD display capability using the most commonly integrated digital output technologies on today’s HD displays & TVs.
