Description
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboard power subsystem, consisting of a digital PWM controller and low RDS (on) power MOSFETs, is designed in a 4+3 phase configuration, ensuring reliable operation of 3rd generation AMD Ryzen processors and other power-hungry motherboard components, as well as increased performance and hardware scalability of the platform as a whole.
M.2 connector for NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 drives
GIGABYTE motherboards are designed for enthusiasts using M.2 technology to fully unlock the potential of the storage subsystem.
HDMI 2.1 is a high-definition multimedia interface, backward compatible with HDMI 2.0/1.4 standards, providing simultaneous video transmission at speeds up to 48 Gbps (twice as fast as the previous generation interface) over a single cable. This interface allows transmission of multiple video streams in the original cinematic 21:9 format (in which most movies are filmed), supports Full HDR and HDCP 2.3 technologies, and ensures superior visual perception of media content.
Smart Fan 5
Thanks to Smart Fan 5, users can be confident that their gaming PC will operate under optimal thermal conditions without compromising performance. With thermal sensors installed on the motherboard, Smart Fan 5 enables control over each fan's operation. Additionally, Smart Fan 5 offers more hybrid fan headers supporting both PWM and Voltage modes, providing maximum convenience when using liquid cooling systems.
RGB Fusion 2.0 application
The RGB Fusion 2.0 software features are fully unlocked on GIGABYTE A520 series motherboards. Using the proprietary RGB Fusion 2.0 application, users can select and control PC lighting via built-in RGB LEDs and external addressable RGB LED strips. The ability to choose color schemes and activate pre-defined lighting patterns was available before, but the control over addressable LED strips has been significantly enhanced. Digital addressing for each LED on such strips enables unique color palettes, styles, and original lighting effects.
A520 series motherboards support connection of addressable LED strips (5V power, 300 LEDs per strip). To set up lighting using addressable LED strips with RGB Fusion 2.0, users can apply new templates and adjust numerous settings for the selected lighting mode.
High-End audio capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboards feature high-end audio capacitors. These components ensure precise signal reproduction, delivering superior sound quality and realistic in-game audio effects.
Audio noise guard
GIGABYTE motherboards are equipped with an audio noise guard that minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk on sensitive analog audio components at the PCB circuitry level.
