EZ-Latch

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

Q-Flash Plus

• Update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory, and graphics card.
• STEP 1: Plug the 24-pin and 8-pin power supply cables into the motherboard.
• STEP 2: Download the motherboard BIOS file and rename it to “gigabyte.bin”. Save it to a USB flash drive formatted in
• FAT32. Insert the USB flash drive into the Q-FLASH PLUS USB port.
• STEP 3: Press the Q-FLASH PLUS button, and the motherboard will start updating the BIOS automatically.

Smart Fan 6

• Ensures optimal cooling and quiet operation for your gaming PC, with support for PWM/DC fans and pumps, customizable settings, and intuitive temperature monitoring.
• High Current Support: Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pum, and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection.
• Precision Control: Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curves.
• Dual Curve Mode: Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenarios.
• Fan Stop: The fan can stop completely below the user’s specified temperature point.

Enhance Fan Curve UI

Enhance fan curve control with an expanded number of control points, from 5 to 7, and a larger fan speed graph, enabling users to have more precise and effortless control over fan curve settings.

Slope/Stair Dual Graph Mode

Switch between Slope and Stair modes to adapt to various user scenarios. Slope mode provides a linear fan speed curve, while Stair mode maintains a constant fan speed within specified temperature intervals.

Manual Input

For advanced users, manual input of fan speeds is available for fine-tuning and precise control over the cooling system.

EZ Tuning

Simplify the process with EZ Tuning by setting 4 points on a rough temperature/fan speed scale. Smart Fan 6 will quickly generate a fan curve based on these points.
Fan Curve Profile: Save your customized fan curve profile in the BIOS ROM, ensuring it remains intact even after BIOS updates.

UC BIOS

Redesigned UI and UX an intuitive operation interface with an aesthetically pleasing design.

Quick Access

9 customizable option slots for effortless access in Easy Mode.

PerfDrive

exclusive BIOS settings that optimize the performance based on the cooling configuration.
