You may be surprised how a motherboard could critically bottleneck the system performance, especially when it falls short on both the power and thermal design. With a limited budget, it is even more important to spend it wisely. Introducing AORUS ELITE motherboards, featuring the best-in-class digital power design, the best-in-class full-metal heatsink, and the best-in-class DDR4 XMP compatibility. It only takes a small step-up to be the best-in-class. Build Smart. Go ELITE.
Features:
·The more advanced manufacturing process and the higher core count on the new generation of CPUs, requires motherboards to utilize a more sophisticated VRM design to make CPUs run at their full potential. GIGABYTE uses fully DIRECT VRM DESIGN, high quality MOSFETs and tantalum polymer capacitors to achieve higher efficiency, lower voltage ripple and lower temperature than traditional parallel VRM design.
·Lower impedance than regular capacitor to reduce voltage ripple Stable capacitance under high temperature Mounted right under the CPU area to stabilize CPU voltage during heavy loading
·GIGABYTE Z690 Motherboards are ready to work with the upcoming PCIe 5.0 devices which are expected to experience double bandwidth than the current PCIe 4.0 devices. To reach the high speed and maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE R&D uses the low impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance.
·AORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 5333MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their AORUS otherboard.
·The maximum memory capacity on the Z690 motherboard is 128GB. After Intel updated the memory reference code, a single slot can support up to 32GB. Therefore with populated 2 DIMM per channel on both channel, total memory capacity is 128GB, which was only available on High End Desktop (HEDT) platforms. For users who always run out of memory capacity, there is more bandwidth now for memory-intensive application such as rendering and video editing.
