Direct Digital VRM Design
To ensure maximum Turbo Boost and overclocking performance of Intel’s new generation CPU, GIGABYTE AORUS series motherboard equip the best VRM design ever built with the highest quality components.
Design Ready for PCIe 5.0
PCIe 5.0 Design supports double the bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 and ensures that compatible with cutting-edge SSDs and GPUs released in the next few years to their full capability.
DDR5 Overclocking Up to 8000 and Beyond*
AORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that has memory overclocking capability up to 8000 and beyond. For DDR5 XMP Memory, all users need to do to attain high memory performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their AORUS motherboard.
GIGABYTE PerfDrive
PerfDrive technology integrates multiple GIGABYTE exclusive BIOS settings to allow users to balance between different levels of performance, power consumption, and temperature according to their needs easily when using 13th gen Intel® Core™ processors.
M.2 Thermal Guard III
M.2 Thermal Guard III constructed with 9X optimized heat dissipation surface and double-sided M.2 heatsinks to prevent throttling and bottlenecks on high-speed/ large capacity of PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs.
8-Layer & 2X Copper PCB
2X COPPER PCBs design effectively lower the component temperature by its high thermal conductivity and low impedance.
Fins-Array III with NanoCarbon Coating
Fins-Array III upgraded thermal performance by using new extended Irregular fins and louvered stacked-fins design which not only increases surface area by incredible 10X compared to traditional heatsinks but also improves thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat exchange.
Fins-Array III
GIGABYTE new generation Fins-Array III delivers the ultimate thermal performance by using Extended Irregular fins to fill all available space and vastly increases surface area. A piece of Fins-Array III heatsink surface area is larger than 2 full size ATX motherboard PCB, therefore it tremendously boost thermal efficiency and heat exchange performance.
M.2 Thermal Guard III
M.2 Thermal Guard III constructed with 9X optimized heat dissipation surface to prevent throttling and bottleneck that high-speed/ large capacity of PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs may cause, especially under heavy workload. The special design of heatsink grooves in the direction of CPU further enhances the in-chassis air flow and optimizes the heat convection efficiency.
