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.
DDR5 Overclocking Up to 9300 and Beyond*
AORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that has memory overclocking capability up to 9300 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.
XTREME MEMORY
With 2-DIMM daisy chain memory trace layout, Z790 AORUS TACHYON can achieve the shortest memory DIMM distance between CPU, therefore reach the highest memory clock and the lowest latency.
DDR5 Auto Booster
Automatically Boost the Native DDR5 frequency to 5000MHz while the system is under heavy loading by a single click.
DDR5 Memory Upgrade
GIGABYTE BIOS offers pre-defined and retrievable profiles for users to get higher performance easily. The profiles are based on a database that is created by checking each memory IC and PMIC vendors to optimize the modules to unleash their full potential. This is a time saving feature to manually configure overclocked DDR5 memory kits.Instantly upgrade memory performanceOverclock Native and XMP 3.0 DDR5 memory to higher frequency easilyNo need to input dozens of memory parameters such as clock, voltage and timingsBuilt-in wide variety pre-tuned profiles database for different memory IC vendors
XMP 3.0 User Profile
Define and create your own SPD profile into Native and XMP 3.0 memory modules or apply the pre-tuned profiles to XMP 3.0 User Profile. Two user-defined profiles can be saved, loaded either locally or from/to an external storage device.
• Two empty SPD profiles can be defined by users and carry to next computer• Transfer DDR5 XMP Booster profiles into XMP 3.0 User Profiles• Quick memory performance simulation based on user input clock and timing parameters• Profile save and load function to share your memory parameters online
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.

Wi-Fi 6E Advantage
Spectrum congestion is huge problem in current Wi-Fi environment nowadays because too many devices all use existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum, and it cause unreliable connection and slower speed. Wi-Fi 6E is extended standard to Wi-Fi 6, and it use dedicated 6GHz band that it provides not only brand new frequency to transfer data, but also spacious spectrum for future more devices. With Wi-Fi 6E, users can enjoy faster connection and stronger signal than before.

Connecting the Future – Front USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C®
Featuring the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 design which is doubled the performance than previous generation of USB 3.2 Gen 2. It works up to 20Gbps ultra-fast data transfer while connecting to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. Through the USB Type-C® connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of reversible connection to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
Overclocking Kit
LIMP Mode
Allows the system to automatically reboot with default or safe settings without having to clear CMOS settings first. This is useful in situations when users fail to boot up the system with their self-defined memory parameters.
Power Button
Power On/Off system.
CPU Ratio Switch
Raise or lower CPU ratio manually.
Cold Reset Button
Use this button to force your system to reboot. This is usually used if a CPU crash or memory errors occur or warm reset doesn’t work when tuning your system settings. Hitting this button to force the system to shutdown and boot again.
Clear CMOS
Clear BIOS setting.
Reset Button
Reboot system.
SB Switch
The SB switch allows enabling or disabling of the Dual BIOS function.
BIOS Switch
The BIOS switch (BIOS_SW) allows users to easily select a different BIOS for boot up or overclocking, helping to reduce BIOS failure during overclocking.
OC Trigger Switch
This switch can be used to lower the CPU frequency to cool down the CPU temperature before running a benchmark without having to change any software settings. Instantly setting the TGR switch back to its default position when the benchmark begins will revert the CPU frequency to the original value.
1OC Ignition
The OC Ignition button allows overclockers and DIY users to pre-test water cooling setups when building up their computers without needing to boot the system. It also allows the system fans to keep spinning at a low temperature and allows for a firmware update even without a CPU installed.
Voltage Measurement
Use multimeter to contact those points to measure different voltage value.
