This unlocks the potential for you to transfer multiple video streams, as well as a native cinematic 21:9 ratio, Full HDR and HDCP 2.3 support, to offer the best visual experience.

INCREDIBLE SPEEDHDMI 2.1 supports up to an impressive 48Gb/s bandwidth. Note: Only New Gen AMD Ryzenâ„¢ with Radeonâ„¢ Graphics processors support displaying function.

Stay Cool under Demanding Loads

SMART FAN 5With Smart Fan 5 users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM and Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly. Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops is based on readings from which sensor, and what temperature of the stopping threshold can be customized to your liking. With Smart Fan 5 choose from different modes, Quiet to Full Speed, to match your system usage preferences. For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.

Illuminate your PC with RGB Fusion 2.0

RGB FUSION 2.0With this GIGABYTE motherboard, RGB Fusion 2.0 is even better. It offers addressable LEDs and lets you control onboard RGB and external RGB / addressable LED light strips for your PC.
