RGB FUSION – Set the Color that Matches Your Style
GIGABYTE's 200 series motherboards boast the most advanced LED system in the
market today. With more customizability than ever and a convenient and intuitive
UI thanks to the RGB Fusion App, you'll have a blast making your GIGABYTE your
own. LED enthusiasts now have even more options with the ability to customize
multiple zones independently. For a more functional use, the bright and 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 and vibrant whites.
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 and Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the
motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.
Enhanced BIOS Interface
The enhanced BIOS interface also has the advanced features seen in the Smart Fan
5 UI, such as: the ability to set triggers based on different temperature
sensors on the board, fan curve definition and the temperature interval setting,
which can prevent fan rotation noise caused by sudden temperature change-all
without having to load Windows.
ALC 1220 120dB SNR HD Audio
The ALC1220 is a high-performance multi-channel High Definition Audio Codec with
up to 120dB SNR for crystal clear audio and features such as Smart Headphone
Amp, 108dB SNR recording for precise voice chats and hardware decoding of
DSD128, ensuring users get the best possible audio quality from their PC.
Smart Headphone Amp
Automatically detects impedance of your head-worn audio device, whether earbuds
or high-end headphones to provide optimal audio dynamics-preventing issues such
as low volume and distortion.
U.2 Onboard (NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4) – 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 Gen3 x4 lanes (32 Gb/s), the drives are a clear advantage for users
looking to boot their OS faster, load their games in a flash and access large
files without waiting. By implementing the U.2 port onboard to support the 2.5"
Intel 750 Series drive, GIGABYTE ensures that the users can benefit from the
best performance.
Fast Onboard Storage with NVMe – PCIe Gen3 x4 110mm M.2 (Up to
32 Gb/s)
GIGABYTE's M.2 solution offers considerably faster storage performance and
support for both PCIe and SATA interfaces for M.2 SSD devices.
Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 4000MHz and Beyond
GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper
compatibility with profiles up to 4000MHz and beyond. All users need to do to
attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP
capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their GIGABYTE
motherboard.
