StoreMI accelerates traditional storage devices to reduce boot times and improve the overall user experience. This easy-to-use utility combines the speed of SSDs with the high capacity of HDDs into a single drive, enhances the read/write speeds of the device to match those of SSDs, boosts data performance for incredible value, and transforms your everyday computer into a performance-based system.
The benefits of AMD StoreMI:
- Making the computer usage experience fast, smooth, and easy
- Optimizing the computer's responsiveness from system startup to application launch
- Offering SSD performance with hard drive capacity at an affordable cost
- Fast access to essential files through automatic learning of users' computing behaviors.
5+3 Phase Solution with Pure Digital VRM and Low RDS MOSFET
The GIGABYTE UD series motherboards use a 5+3 phase pure digital PWM design + Low RDS(on) MOSFET to support AMD Ryzen™ 3rd generation processors, offering incredible precision in power delivery to the motherboard's most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components, as well as improved system performance and ultimate hardware expandability.
Benefits of Low Frequency MOSFETs (Low R DS)
- Optimized gate charging for minimizing switching losses.
- Lower temperature, smaller size, better thermal characteristics.
Faster and better coverage with Intel Dual Band 802.11ac WIFI + BT 4.2 Module
The built-in Intel® WIFI 802.11ac module supports Dual Band and up to 433 Mbps, 3 times faster WIFI speed than 802.11n and also supports BLUETOOTH 4.2.
Dual NVMe PCIe 4.0*/3.0 M.2 Slots
With integrated NVMe PCIe 4.0*/3.0 x4 and PCIe 3.0 x2 M.2 slots, GIGABYTE motherboards offer users the experience of connectivity in NVMe or SATA mode for M.2 SSD devices. Providing data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gb/s, the dual M.2 slot design offers an ideal storage solution while also supporting RAID functions.
Realtek GbE LAN with bandwidth management
The Realtek Gigabit LAN features a network bandwidth management application that helps improve network latency and maintain low ping times for better responsiveness in crowded LAN environments.
HDMI 2.1 Support for 4K / 60P / 21:9 / HDCP 2.3
HDMI 2.1, which is compatible with HDMI 2.0/1.4 and offers a bandwidth of 48 Gb/s – double that of the previous generation. This enables users to transmit multiple video streams, as well as native cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio (used in most movies), Full HDR support, and HDCP 2.3, to provide the best visual experience for viewers.
Cooling Features
- High current support
- Each fan header supports PWM and DC fan and water cooling pump, and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with overcurrent protection.
- Precision control
- Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve
- Dual curve operation
- Dual slope/step operation for different user scenarios
- Fan stop
- The fan can stop completely below the user-defined temperature point
- 1 Improved user interface for fan curve control
We increase the control points from 5 to 7 and provide a larger fan speed graph for more precise and easier fan curve control.
- 2 Dual Slope/Stair graph mode
The fan curve can be quickly changed with Slope and Stair modes for different user scenarios. Slope is a traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve. With the new non-linear Stair mode, the fan maintains the same speed between defined temperature intervals.
- 3 Manual input
For advanced users, we provide manual fan speed adjustment for more precise control.
- 4 EZ Tuning
You can place 4 EZ Tuning points at approximate temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve.
- 5 Fan curve profile
The fan curve profile can be saved in the BIOS ROM, and the profile will be retained after a BIOS update.
RGB FUSION 2.0
With B550 motherboards, RGB Fusion 2.0 is even better with addressable LED lights. RGB Fusion 2.0 offers users the option to control built-in RGB lighting strips and external RGB / addressable LED lights* for building their computer. Already packed with features, colors, and patterns, RGB Fusion 2.0 has now been upgraded to enhance support for addressable LED lights. With external addressable LED strips, where each LED is digitally addressable, users can experience even more patterns, styles, and lighting effects.
With B550 motherboards, external 5V lighting LED strips with addressable lights and up to 300 LED lights are supported. RGB Fusion 2.0 with addressable LED lights features new patterns and various speed settings, with more to come.
