| Product features |
-
Unrivaled performance
GIGABYTE's Z690 series motherboards come with an improved power solution, advanced storage standards and outstanding connectivity to enable optimized gaming performance.
-
Advanced thermal solution
The instant performance of the Z690 series motherboards is guaranteed by an innovative and optimized thermal design that ensures perfect stability of the CPU, chipset, SSD and low temperatures when applying full load and gaming.
-
2 times the surface area
Increased surface area up to 2 times larger compared to traditional radiators. This improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.
-
True one-piece craftsmanship
TMOS is a TRUE one piece heatsink. Its one-piece construction and larger surface area dramatically improve cooling efficiency compared to competitors' multi-piece designs.
-
Multifunctional construction
TMOS has several channels and the heatsink input. This design allows airflow to pass through, resulting in a significant improvement in heat transfer efficiency.
-
AORUS M.2 Thermal Guard II
M.2 Thermal Guard II uses a double-sided heatsink design and prevents throttling and bottlenecks on high-speed M.2 SSDs by dissipating heat before it becomes a problem.
-
Design with 2x copper circuit board
Adopting 2x copper on the inner layer of the board, it lowers the temperature of the components by at least 3y, turning the board into a super-thin board-sized copper heatsink that effectively dissipates heat from the components thanks to its high thermal conductivity and lower impedance.
-
Next generation connectivity
GIGABYTE Z690 series motherboards allow you to experience maximum connection flexibility and lightning-fast data transfer speeds with next-generation network and storage connectivity.
-
Ultra Durable
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable stands out for its product durability and high-quality manufacturing process. GIGABYTE motherboards use perfect components and reinforce each slot to make each one strong and durable.
