Compatibility with Rocket Lake processors
All motherboards with the 500 series chipset are compatible with Rocket Lake and Comet Lake processors. Motherboards with W480, Z490, H470, Q470 chipsets also support Rocket Lake processors, but may require a BIOS update. Boards with other chipsets do not support Rocket Lake processors.
GbE LAN with bandwidth management
GbE LAN comes with a network bandwidth management application that helps improve network latency and keep ping times low for better response in crowded LAN environments.
NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 2280 M.2 connector
GIGABYTE motherboards focus on bringing M.2 technology to enthusiasts who want to maximize their system's potential.
Smart Fan 5
With Smart Fan 5, users can rest assured that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to replace fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors in different locations on the motherboard. Moreover, Smart Fan 5 introduces more hybrid fan headers that support PWM and voltage mode fans, making the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.
High-quality audio capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high-quality capacitors help ensure high resolution and audio fidelity, providing the most realistic sound effects for gamers. GIGABYTE motherboards feature a sound shield that essentially separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.
System Information Viewer
GIGABYTE System Information Viewer is a central location that provides access to the current system status. Monitor components such as clocks and CPU, set your preferred fan speed profile, create alerts when temperatures get too high or log system behavior; these are the capabilities of the System Information Viewer.
