PCIe 5.0 Ready Design

The PCIe 5.0 design supports double the bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 and ensures compatibility with the top GPUs that will be released in the coming years with their full capabilities.

DDR4 XMP

AORUS offers a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 5333MHz and beyond. All users need to do to achieve this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is capable of XMP and that the XMP function is enabled and activated on the other AORUS card.

Storage with RAID

The exclusive 3x PCIe 4.0 M.2 unit from CPU and 2nd generation SSD 7000 MB/s provides unparalleled read/write performance up to 21053 and 15499 MB/s.

GIGABYTE PerfDrive

The PerfDrive technology incorporates multiple exclusive GIGABYTE BIOS settings to allow users to easily balance between different levels of performance, power consumption, and temperature according to their needs when using Intel Core 13th generation processors.

Thermal Guard III

The M.2 Thermal Guard III is designed with an optimized 6X heat dissipation surface to prevent throttling and congestion that can be caused by high-speed/high-capacity PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs, especially under heavy workloads. The special design of the heatsink fins towards the CPU direction further enhances airflow within the chassis and optimizes heat dissipation efficiency.

Smart Fan 6

Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure the gaming PC maintains its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support both PWM/DC fan and pump, and users can easily set each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the system through an intuitive user interface.

Connectivity

2.5GbE LAN

  • The adoption of LAN 2.5G provides network connectivity up to 2.5GbE, with at least 2 times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with an absolute online gaming experience.
  • Support for Ethernet RJ-45 Multi-Gig (10/100/1000/2500Mbps)

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C

It features USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 design, which doubles the performance compared to the previous generation USB 3.2 Gen 2. It operates with ultra-fast data transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps when connected to USB 3.2 compatible peripherals. Through the USB Type-C connection, users can enjoy the flexibility of reversible connectivity for quick access and storage of large volumes of data.

GIGABYTE Control Center

The GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC) is a unified software for all products supported by GIGABYTE. It provides a newly designed intuitive user interface for controlling all essential functions.
  • Unified software platform for all supported Gigabyte products
  • Intuitive user interface for an easy experience
  • Modular control elements only for installed hardware
  • Auto-update function to keep the system updated and support future products

Multi-key

A multi-function reset button that can be reassigned to other functions in the BIOS for different user scenarios.

  • RGB Switch

Turn off all lighting effects on the motherboard.

  • Direct-To-BIOS

Boot into the BIOS menu directly without pressing any keyboard button.

  • Safe Mode

Boot into BIOS safe mode to change a specific option without losing other BIOS settings.

    It is not the most value-for-money board with the z790 chipset, but it is quite stable. The only thing I can say is annoying is that the RAM slots did not recognize the RAM directly and I had to remove and insert them in other slots until the computer booted. Other than that, it's fine
