It improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.Real One-piece BuildTMOS is a TRUE single piece heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface drastically improve the cooling performance against competitors’ multi-piece design.Multi-Cut DesignTMOS features several channels and inlets on the heatsink. This design allows for the air flow to go through which leads to a great improvement of the heat transfer performance.M.2 Thermal Guard IIIGIGABYTE Thermal Guard III ensures PCIe 4.0 SSD running at 7GB/s With No Throttling.3% Cooler by implementing2X copper PCB DesignBy adopting 2X copper on PCB inner layer, it lowers the components' temperature at least 3% by turning the PCB into a super thin PCB size copper heatsink to dissipate the heat from the components effectively, due to it’s high thermal conductivity and lower impedance.Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fan and pump, and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface.- High Current SupportEach fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection- Precision Control9 temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve- Dual Curve ModeSlope/Stair dual mode for different user scenarioSmart Fan 6 BIOS UIImprove fan curve UIWe increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for precise and easier fan curve control.Slope/Stair dual graph modeFan curve can be quickly switch with Slope and Stair modes for different user scenario. Slope is traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve. With newly added Stair non-linear mode, fan keeps at same speed between specified temperature interval.Manual InputFor advanced users, we provide fan speed manual input for more precise control.EZ TuningUse can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve.Fan curve profileFan curve profile can be saved in BIOS ROM, profile will be kept after updating BIOS.CONNECTIVITYGIGABYTE Z690 Series Motherboards let you experience ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speed with next generation network, storage, and WIFI connectivity.First adopter on 2.5GbE LAN onboard2X Faster than ever- Adoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least 2X faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with ultimate online gaming experience.- Support Multi-Gig(10/100/1000/2500Mbps) RJ-45 EthernetWIFI 6 802.11ax + BT 5 ModuleWireless solution 802.11ax WIFI 6 with new dedicated 6GHz band, enables gigabit wireless performance, provides smooth video streaming, better gaming experience, few dropped connections and speeds up to 2.4Gbps.
