Dual Digital VRM Design
To ensure maximum Turbo Boost performance and overclocking of the new generation of Intel CPUs, the GIGABYTE AORUS series motherboard equips the best VRM design ever built with the highest quality components.
DDR5 Overclocking up to 7600
AORUS offers a tested and proven platform that has the capability to overclock memory up to 7600. For DDR5 XMP memory, all users need to do to achieve a high increase in memory performance is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is enabled and activated on the AORUS motherboard.
Gigabyte PerfDrive
The PerfDrive technology incorporates multiple exclusive BIOS settings from GIGABYTE to allow users to easily balance between different levels of performance, power consumption, and temperature according to their needs when using 13th generation Intel Core processors.
M.2 Thermal Guard III
The M.2 Thermal Guard III is built with an optimized 6X heat dissipation surface to prevent throttling and bottlenecking that high-speed/high-capacity M.2 SSDs can cause, especially under heavy workloads. The special design of the heatsink grooves towards the CPU direction further enhances airflow within the chassis and optimizes heat convection performance.
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 fans and pumps, and users can easily set each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the system through an intuitive user interface.
