Set the color that matches your style
Offering more LED customizations, users can truly adapt their PC to represent their lifestyle. With full RGB support, the user has complete control over the LEDs which surround the motherboard. -
Pure speed, more power
The USB 3.1 controller utilizes four PCIe Gen3 lanes, offering high bandwidth, for uncompromised transfer speeds. The much improved USB 3.1 protocol is available over the reversible USB Type-C and the traditional USB Type-A connector for better compatibility over a wider range of devices. -
Dual hybrid fan headers
In order to provide support for water cooling solutions, Gigabyte has equipped this motherboard with an additional water pump power header. This allows the user to have full control over two water pumps or fans. -
Dual armor DIMM and PCIe metal shielding
Never worry about your heavy graphics card damaging your motherboard again. Gigabyte's proprietary PCIe metal shielding reinforces the PCIe connector to prevent slot damage due to heavy graphics card. The DIMM and PCIe metal shield also provides extra strength. -
Built-in performance tuning IC
Thanks to the onboard Turbo B-Clock Tuning IC, this motherboard enables overclockers to have the ability to change their BCLK frequency to a desired value of their choice.
