EZ-Latch

Unlock the latch of the PCIe slot easily when remove the graphics card in the PCIe slot.

Q-Flash Plus

Update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory and graphics card. With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you don't need to install the CPU, memory and graphics card nor enter the BIOS menu to flash the BIOS. Just download and save a new BIOS file (rename to gigabyte.bin) on the USB flash drive, then press the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button and you’re good to go!

STEP 1: Plug 24pin & 8pin power supply cable on motherboard

STEP 2: Download motherboard BIOS file and rename to ""gigabyte.bin"", save to USB flashdrive, and plug USB flashdrive into Q-Flash USB port

STEP 3: Press Q-Flash Plus button, and motherboard will start updating BIOS automatically.

Smart Fan 6

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.

Cooling Features

High Current Support: Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection

Precision Control: Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve

Dual Curve Mode: Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenario

Fan Stop: Fan can stop completely below users' specified temperature point

---

Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI

Improve fan curve UI: We increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for precise and easier fan curve control.

Slope/Stair dual graph mode: Fan 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 Input: For advanced users, we provide fan speed manual input for more precise control.

EZ Tuning: Use can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve.

Fan curve profile: Fan curve profile can be saved in BIOS ROM, profile will be kept after updating BIOS.
