WATERFORCE COOLING SYSTEM
Designed for DIY PC enthusiasts aiming to create unique custom loop builds and achieve the highest possible performance in silence. AORUS provides an all-round cooling solution as critical parts like GPU, VRAM and MOSFET are actively cooled to ensure system stability under high overclocks.
OPTIMAL SPACING ON MICROCHANNEL
The optimal spacing between the micro fins allows for significant heat transfer from the GPU via stable water flow and prevents blocking.
HIGH PERFORMANCE MICRO FINS
The micro fins over the GPU increase the contact area with liquid flows. In addition, we have shortened the distance between the water channel and the GPU to provide more efficient heat dissipation.
LARGE COPPER BASE PLATE
The large copper base plate covers the entire water channel over the GPU, VRAM, and other critical parts, so the heat can then be quickly taken away.
RGB FUSION
With 16.7M customizable color options and numerous lighting effects, you can choose any lighting effect or synchronize with other devices in GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER.
PATENTED LEAK DETECTION
The water block is built in with a leak detection circuit covering the entire waterblock, which promptly alerts users by flash warning light in case of any liquid leaks.
DUAL BIOS
The factory default setting is OC mode, which provides users with the best performance. However, switching to silent mode will enjoy a quieter experience.
PROTECTION METAL BACK PLATE
The metal back plate not only provides an aesthetical shape, but also enhances the structure of the graphics card to provide complete protection.
POWER INDICATOR
When experiencing any power supply abnormality, the indicator will alert gamers by flashing light.
PCB COATING
Dust resistant - shields from dust, insects, dropped screws, drill shavings, and abrasion.
Moisture resistant - prevents unwanted conduction paths and board damage.
Corrosion resistant - protects from salt spray, humidity, and corrosion.
EXTREME OVERCLOCKING
The graphics card features excellent power phase design to allow the MOSFETs to operate at lower temperatures and provide a more stable voltage output. Load balancing of each MOSFET can effectively improve the overclocking performance and extend the life of the card.
ULTRA DURABLE
Ultra Durable certified highest-grade metal chokes, lower ESR solid capacitors, 2oz copper PCB, and lower RDS(on) MOSFETs, plus over-temperature design to deliver superior performance and longer system life.
FRIENDLY PCB DESIGN
Fully automated production process ensures top quality of the circuit boards and eliminates sharp protrusions of the solder connectors seen on the conventional PCB surface. This friendly design prevents your hands from getting cut or inadvertently damaging components when making your build.
GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER
GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER (GCC) is a unified software for all GIGABYTE supported products. It provides an intuitive interface that allows users to adjust clock speed, voltage, fan mode and power target in real-time.
