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.AORUS M.2 Thermal GuardGIGABYTE Ultra-Efficient M.2 Thermal GuardWith durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.Smart Fan 6Smart 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.Headers & Sensors• 6 PWM/DC Fan Headers• 6 Internal Temperature SensorsCooling FeaturesHigh Current SupportEach fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current ProtectionPrecision ControlUp to 7 temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curveDual Curve ModeSlope/Stair dual mode for different user scenarioFan StopFan can stop completely below users' specified temperature pointSmart 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.Intelligent Fan Control DesignFan StopAchieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops, based on readings from which sensor, and at what temperature-all of it can be customized to your liking.Unparalleled PerformanceWith the best quality components and GIGABYTE R&D design capability, the Z590 AORUS is a true beast among motherboards.XMP 5000+Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 5000MHz and BeyondAORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 5000MHz and beyond.
