Product description

Smart Fan 5
• Smart Fan 5 allows you to interchange your fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard.

Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
• Hybrid Fan Headers detect whether the cooling device uses PWM or Voltage mode and automatically switches settings accordingly. It supports up to two amps with built-in overcurrent protection.

Smart Fan 5 Software
• Choose from quiet to full speed modes to match your system usage scenario. For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.

Interoperable Sensors and Fans
• Each fan can be customized to operate at different speeds according to any defined temperature source input (except the CPU fan).

Fan Curve
• You can customize fan curves based on specific temperatures with the intuitive graphical UI.

BIOS Interface
• The enhanced BIOS interface can 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.

Immersive VR Gaming Experience
• The recommended configuration for VR gaming PC is by using a NVIDIA GTX 1050/AMD R9 290 or greater graphics card that has a compatible HDMI 1.3 video output, an Intel i5-7600K equivalent or greater CPU, a Gigabyte X99/Z270/Z170/H170/B150 motherboard, a memory of 8GB RAM or greater, three USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port or greater, and a Windows 7 SPI 64-bit or newer operating system.

Realtek GbE LAN with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator Software
• Realtek Gigabit LAN features cFosSpeed, a network traffic management application which helps improve network latency and maintain low ping times to deliver responsiveness in crowded LAN environments.

NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 2280 M.2 Connector
• The M.2 solution offers fast storage performance and support for both PCIe and SATA interface for M.2 SSD devices.

Two-Way CrossFire Multi-Graphics
• Multi-graphics configuration offers graphics performance with high frame rates for gaming enthusiasts without compromising on resolution. Graphics cards are sold separately.

Supports DDR4 XMP Up to 3866MHz
• XMP profiles (sold separately) automatically modify the timings of the supported memory modules to work with your CPU to achieve increased performance. This platform ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 3866MHz. To attain this performance boost you should ensure that your memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on your motherboard. XMP Profile support may vary depending on memory module. Please visit www.gigabyte.com to see the complete validated memory support list.
