Features Supports 8th Gen Intel Core™ Processors Dual Channel Non-ECC Unbuffered DDR4, 4 DIMMs Intel Optane™ Memory Ready 2-Way Cross Fire™ Multi-Graphics Support Gigabit LAN with c Fos Speed Internet Accelerator Software Ultra Durable™ 25KV ESD & 15KV Surge LAN Protection High Quality Audio Capacitors & Audio Noise Guard with LED Trace Path Lighting Ultra-Fast M.2 with PCIe Gen 3 x 4 & SATA interface RGB FUSION supports RGB LED strips in 7 colors Smart Fan 5 features Multiple Temperature Sensors & Hybrid Fan Headers with FAN STOP Anti-Sulfur Resistors Design 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. Hybrid Fan Pin Headers Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow-rate through the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers—giving you absolute mastery over your PC. All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode. Realtek Gb E LAN with c Fos Speed Internet Accelerator Networking Realtek Gb E 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. Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 4000 M Hz & Beyond* GIGABYTE is offering a tested & proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 4000 M Hz & beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable & that the XMP function is activated & enabled on GIGABYTE motherboard. * XMP Profile support may vary depending on memory module.
