Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow-rate through the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers 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 High-End Audio Capacitors GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution & high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers Audio Noise Guard GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the board sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level LED trace path lighting Illuminates to show the separation of the PCB layers START SULFURIZATION PROTECTION Sulfur compounds in the air can penetrate tiny onboard resistors creating chemical change & causing these resistors to open or short If either of these occurs the motherboard will fail to function By equipping resistors with an Anti-Sulfur Design GIGABYTE gives Ultra Durable Motherboards a whole new meaning CEC 2019 Ready CEC Requirement PC power consumption must be under a certain level when it's in off mode idle mode st&-by mode With high power efficiency hardware components & fine tuned BIOS GIGABYTE motherboards can achieve lower power consumption under idle mode & fully comply with new CEC 2019 (California Energy Commission) power consumption requirement Refreshed BIOS The BIOS is essential for users during initial setup to allow for the most optimal settings With a new GUI & easier to use functionalities GIGABYTE has been able to reinvent the BIOS to give users a better experience while setting up their new system Specifications CPU Support for 8th Generation Intel Core i 7
