With aggressively redesigned armor & thermal heatsinks, its performance capabilities & durability are second to none. Performance is no stranger to AORUS, with exotic cooling & an ability to be tuned to peak performance, AORUS motherboards will exceed expectations. RGB Fusion with Digital LEDs With AORUS Z370 Motherboards, RGB Fusion is even better with Digital LEDs.* RGB Fusion offers users the option to control onboard RGB & external RGBW/ Digital LED light strips for their PC. Already feature filled with colors & patterns, RGB Fusion on Z370 Series AORUS Motherboards are now upgraded with Digital LED support. With 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 lighting strips & up to 300 LED lights. 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. Swappable Overlay for Accent LED AORUS brings even more color & life to your system with an Accent LED 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. Design your very own Accent LED Overlay with a 3D printer. 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. Fan pin header Temperature Sensors Fan/ Water Pump pin header &9632; 9 Temperature Sensors &9632; 8 Fan/ Water Pump Connectors &9632; All Fan Pin Headers Upgraded to Hybrid Fan Headers &9632; Interoperable Fans & Sensors &9632; Intuitive UI for Fan Control 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. Intel Optane Memory The GIGABYTE Z370 Platform is the first enthusiast platform that supports Intel’s latest Optane technology. Optane fuels storage performance by acting as a cache drive giving users a significant boost compared to traditional mechanical drives. USB (Universal Serial Bus) Type-C™ Front Panel Connector Equipped with next generation connectivity onboard GIGABYTE Motherboards already support the cases of the future. Onboard headers for USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 Gen 1 makes access convenient when connecting a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.1 Gen 1 drive or charging your new mobile device.
