Features 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 High Quality Audio Capacitors & Audio Noise Guard with LED Trace Path Lighting 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 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. 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. Realtek Gb E LAN with c Fos Speed Internet Accelerator Software Realtek Gigabit LAN features c Fos Speed, a network traffic management application which helps to improve network latency & maintain low ping times to deliver better responsiveness in crowded LAN environments. NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x 4 2280 M.2 Connector GIGABYTE M.2 solution offers considerably faster storage performance & support for both PCIe & SATA interface for M.2 SSD devices. 2-Way Cross Fire™ Multi-Graphics Multi-graphics configuration offers better graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution. 4K Ultra HD Support 4K resolution is the next technological milestone in high-definition content delivery, utilizing Approx. 4, 000 pixels on the horizontal axis, more than four times todays standard HD pixel density. GIGABYTE motherboards provide native 4K support with integrated Intel HD Graphics via HDMI.
