Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO Intel Socket 1151 ATX RGB Motherboard The AORUS Core is inspired by the falcons aggressive nature and hunting prowess. The falcon uses its razor sharp talons to swiftly strike down its prey with exceptional efficiency and precision, qualities that are exemplified in the fine details of AORUS design. 12* 1 Phases Digital Power Design Z390 AORUS PRO motherboard uses an 12 1 phases digital CPU power design which includes both digital PWM Controller and DrMOS. These 100 digital controller and additional 8 4 Solid-pin CPU Power Connectors offer incredible precision in delivering power to the motherboards most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components, allowing enthusiasts to get the absolute maximum performance from the new 8-core 9th Gen Intel Core processors. Advanced Thermal Design Z390 AORUS PRO uses very high performance thermal design by combining 2 heatsinks with Heatpipe, thick thermal pad, providing ultimate MOSFET cooling performance for enthusiasts, overclockers and gamers. Pre-installed I/O Shield With an integrated I/O shield, building a GIGABYTE Ultra Durable PC is even easier. Dual PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 AORUS Gaming Motherboards are focused on delivering M.2 technology to enthusiasts who want to maximize their systems potential. High-End WIMA & Audio Capacitors The AORUS motherboards boast a combination of Hi-Fi grade WIMA FKP2 capacitors and high-end audio capacitors. While the high-end audio capacitors are suited for high-grade audio equipment, using state of the art technology to provide rich sound in the bass and clearer high frequencies, the WIMA FKP2 capacitors are being used widely in premium grade Hi-Fi systems. The addition of this to the exclusive AOURS AMP-UP Audio technology makes for the ideal onboard sound solution for the most demanding audiophiles. USB Type-C Front Panel Connector Equipped with next generation connectivity AORUS Gaming Motherboards already support the chassis of the future. The onboard USB Type-C header for USB 3.1 Gen1 makes access convenient when connecting a USB 3.1 Gen1 drive or charging your new mobile device. Multi-Zone Light Show Design Now offering more LED customizations than ever, users can truly adapt their PC to represent their lifestyle. With full RGB support and a redesigned RGB Fusion application, the user has complete control over the LEDs which surround the motherboard.
