SMART FAN
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.
Diagnostic LEDs
Hardware Troubleshooting at a Glance
Onboard LEDs controlled by the system BIOS indicate if a malfunction is
occurring, allowing users to quickly diagnose which major component
(CPU/DDR/VGA/HDD) is malfunctioning so they may take action promptly.
2-Way SLI™ / 3-Way CrossFire™ Multi Graphics
Multi-graphics configuration offers better graphics performance for gaming
enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on
resolution.
All Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
• Hybrid Fan Headers detect whether the cooling device uses PWM or Voltage
mode and automatically switches settings accordingly.
• Supports up to 2 amps with built-in overcurrent protection—a must for
high-end high current fans.
Intel® GbE LAN with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator
Software
Intel® Gigabit LAN features cFosSpeed, a network traffic management application
which helps to improve network latency and maintain low ping times to deliver
better responsiveness in crowded LAN environments.
Fast Onboard Storage with NVMe
PCIe Gen3 x4 110mm M.2 (Up to 32 Gb/s)
GIGABYTE M.2 solution offers considerably faster storage performance and
support for both PCIe and SATA interfaces for M.2 SSD devices.
