With an aggressively redesigned armor & thermal heatsinks its sure to turn heads & catch eyes. Performance is no stranger to AORUS, with exotic cooling & an ability to be tuned to peak performance AORUS motherboards will exceed expectations. RGB FUSION Set the Color that Matches Your Style AORUS X299 series motherboards boast the most advanced LED system in the market today. With more customizability than ever & a convenient & intuitive UI thanks to the RGB Fusion App, you’ll have a blast making your AORUS your own. LED enthusiasts now have even more options with the ability to customize multiple zones independently. For a more functional use, the bright & vibrant LEDs can be configured to display the PC’s temperature or load. For even more LED goodness RGBW strips are now supported for more true & vibrant whites. RGB Fusion with Digital LEDs With AORUS X299 Motherboards, RGB Fusion is even better with Digital LEDs.* RGB Fusion offers users the option to control onboard & external LED light strips for their PC. Already feature filled with colors & patterns, RGB Fusion on X299 Series AORUS Motherboards are now upgraded with Digital LED support. With onboard options & external digital LED strips*, where each LED is digitally addressable, users can experience even more patterns, styles, & illuminations. AORUS Gaming Motherboards will support either 5v or 12v digital LED strips. RGB Fusion with Digital LEDs comes with 9 new patterns & various speed settings with more to come. * Digital LEDs are available only on select Motherboards, external LED Strips, Digital LED Strips are not included with Motherboard purchase. Surround Lighting Multi-light zones are equipped with high brightness RGB LEDs, namely the CPU, Memory, Armor, Audio, PCI-Express & Accent LED PCH Overlay. When it’s all set & done, your system will shine like never before. RGB Fusion (Advanced mode) With the all new RGB Fusion software, users have access to different preset LED lighting configurations with choice of colors. You can even set the LEDs to synchronize with your favorite music or have them change colors to indicate the CPU temperature. For true lighting experts there is an Advanced Mode, which can be fully customized by individual area with its own effects & color transitions, along with specific duration & transition times. GIGABYTE RGB Fusion APP Dont just make your PC shine, make it a work of art that friends will envy. With the GIGABYTE RGB Fusion mobile app users can watch as they control the lighting within their gaming PC. This gives users ease of access as they try & adjust colors & speeds for different modes, all this can be achieved away from the keyboard & monitor of their PC. Swappable Overlay for Accent LED AORUS brings even more color & life to your system with an Accent LED PCH Overlay. This overlay complements the RGB Fusion technology in AORUS Motherboards adding more flare & style to your gaming machine. With the swappable overlay users can utilize different patterns & designs to make their system their own. * LED strips & customized overlays are not included. Photos are for reference only. Product features may vary by model. Armor AORUS X299 Gaming Motherboards are designed with an aggressive stance, but looks are just the beginning. The armor on the AORUS Gaming Series are created to offer best-in-class performance while still staying cool. Base Plate AORUS Motherboards are the perfect choice when starting your PC build. With an integrated base plate, AORUS Motherboards give users a strong foundation to build their Gaming PC. With larger & heavier coolers, graphics cards, & even memory modules the AORUS Base Plate is perfect to help support any enthusiast’s build while reducing cuts & stings from sharp areas of the motherboard. I/O Shield Armor With an integrated I/O shield building an AORUS Gaming PC is even easier.* Gone are the days of realizing that the rear I/O was forgotten or lost. * Integrated I/O Shields are only available on select AORUS Motherboards 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. Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops, based on readings from which sensor, & at what temperature—all of it can be customized to your liking. New Smart Fan 5 Software Interoperable Sensors & Fans Each fan can be customized to operate at different speeds according to any defined temperature source input (except the CPU fan). Fan Curve Customize fan curves based on specific temperatures with the intuitive graphical UI. Choose from different modes, Quiet to Full Speed, to match your system usage scenario. For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds & corresponding fan speeds. System Information Viewer GIGABYTE System Information Viewer is a central location that gives you access to your current system status. Monitor components such as the clocks & processor, set your preferred fan speed profile, create alerts when temperatures get too high or record your system’s behavior; these are the possibilities of the System Information Viewer. U.2 Adaptor (NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x 4) NVMe Performance for PCIe SSDs The new Intel 750 series SSDs offer an incredible increase in performance over SATA drives. Using the NVMe protocol which takes advantage of the fast bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3 x 4 lanes (32 Gb/s), the drives are a clear advantage for users looking to boot their OS faster, load their games in a flash & access large files without waiting. By implementing the U.2 Adaptor to support the 2.5” Intel 750 Series drive, AORUS ensures that the users can benefit from the best performance. SSDs & cables not included. PURE SPEED AORUS Extreme USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 Motherboards The ASMEDIA 3142 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 controller utilizes 2 PCIe Gen 3 lanes, offering a total of up to 16 Gb/s, which means you have extra bandwidth to take full control of the 10 Gb/s USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 ports. With twice the bandwidth compared to its previous generation, & backwards compatibility with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 & 3.0, the much enhanced USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 protocol is available over the new reversible USB (Universal Serial Bus) Type-C™ & the traditional USB (Universal Serial Bus) Type-A connector for better compatibility over a wider range of devices.
