2. 8-Layer & 2X Copper PCB
2X COPPER PCBs design effectively lower the component temperature by its high thermal conductivity and low impedance.
3. Fins-Array III with NanoCarbon Coating
Fins-Array III upgraded thermal performance by using new extended Irregular fins and louvered stacked-fins design which not only increases surface area by incredible 10X compared to traditional heatsinks but also improves thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat exchange.
4. 8mm Mega-Heatpipe
5. 12 W/mK Thermal Pad
6. NanoCarbon Baseplate
NanoCarbon Baseplate
- Base plate made of aluminum instead of traditional iron ensures 3X thermal conductivity.
- A thin layer of NanoCarbon is coated on the base plate through electrostatic adhesion to enhance thermal radiation capability.
- Transfer heat from the back side PCB to the base plate so the NanoCarbon base plate can dissipate heat passively.
- Effectively lowers backside PWM component temperature by 10%.
NanoCarbon Coating
This specialized nanostructure of carbon molecules has extraordinary thermal conductivity.
Fins-Array III
GIGABYTE new generation Fins-Array III delivers the ultimate thermal performance by using Extended Irregular fins to fill all available space and vastly increases surface area. A piece of Fins-Array III heatsink surface area is larger than 2 full size ATX motherboard PCB, therefore it tremendously boost thermal efficiency and heat exchange performance.
GIGABYTE Advanced Thermal Solution
Traditional heatsink
Fins-Array
Single Fin surface area: 520mm2 Increases total heatsink surface area by 300%
Fins-Array II
Single Fin surface area: 898mm2 Louvered fins design to improve airflow and heat
Fins-Array III
Single Fin surface area: 1678mm2 Extended Irregular fins design to increase more surface area 10X total heatsink surface area
Nanocarbon Coated Fin Array Heatsink
As CPUs get more powerful, VRM modules get hotter under ultra high performance. Being the first adopters among industry using NanoCarbon as coating material to enhance thermal radiation speed up heat dissipation. Nanocarbon is coated onto the heatsink through electrostatic adhesion. The coating material covers the entire finned heatsink with 200μm in thickness. In that way, heat is dissipated more quickly. The tests show 10% cooler with the NanoCarbon coating.
M.2 Thermal Guard III
M.2 Thermal Guard III constructed with 9X optimized heat dissipation surface to prevent throttling and bottleneck that high-speed/ large capacity of PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs may cause, especially under heavy workload.The special design of heatsink grooves in the direction of CPU further enhances the in-chassis air flow and optimizes the heat convection efficiency.
Throttle-free Performance
*The result is based on internal lab test for reference only, real performance may vary. Test conditions are under open case, 25˚C ambient temperature, no airflow, AIO Cooler and the latest Gen5 SSD running IO meter for two hours.
* The appearance design of M.2 Thermal III may affect the CPU tower cooler installation; therefore, it is recommend to use CPU liquid cooler.
