GIGABYTE Z390 motherboards with AORUS AIO cooling are ready for Intel Core i9-9900KS CPU
Gigabyte today announced that Z390 series motherboards with Ultra Durable Technology, Up to 16 Phase Digital Power Design and Fins-Array Stacked Fin Thermal Design, are ready to unleash the power of the 9-core Intel Core i9900 8KS processor, which is fires at all cores of 5.0 GHz and above for an incredible PC experience.
The new 9-core Intel Core i9900-8KS CPU It is based on a 14nm architecture and is compatible with the LGA 1151 socket. The i9-9900KS binned can reach all 5GHz + cores with the proper motherboard and cooling. To unlock this caliber of overclocking performance, users will need the highest quality components, VRM, and thermal design.
“Since the launch of Intel Z390, GIGABYTE has enabled users to overclock their i9-9900K processors to all-core 5GHz+ with our superior components and design. However, with silicon lottery, differences between processors can lead to slightly varying overclocking performance. The new Intel Core i9-9900KS utilizes the full-featured design of AORUS Z390 motherboards and ensures users can enjoy all-core 5GHz+ performance,” said Jackson Hsu, Director of GIGABYTE Channel Solutions Product Development Division. “Select GIGABYTE Z390 motherboards feature Ultra Durable technology with the highest quality components, up to a 16-phase digital power design, Fins-Array stacked-fin heatsink thermal design, and other features that maximize overclocking potential. With additional customization, efficiency, low temperatures, stability, aesthetics and more, users can easily enjoy all 5GHz+ overclocking cores and the advantages of a well-designed GIGABYTE motherboard with RGB lighting effects.
GIGABYTE and Intel have always prioritized the demands and needs of users. Since the beginning of the development of the GIGABYTE Z390 motherboards, GIGABYTE has focused on allowing users to overclock their processors to all 5GHz + cores. To meet the different needs of users, GIGABYTE has implemented at least 12 phases per digital power design with MOSFETs PowIRstage, DrMOS or LowRDS (on) to provide the best balance and power management. Select Z390 AORUS motherboards feature all IR digital power designs with solid pin power connectors to provide the motherboard with stable power and heat dissipation for the i9-9900KS to prevent excess heat from sapping the performance.
Select GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS motherboards come with Fins-Array technology and their acclaimed stacked fin design. Offering three times the surface area compared to traditional heat sinks, the stacked fin heat sink maximizes heat dissipation efficiency and provides ideal cooling for the VRM, while its sleek aluminum heat sinks add up to the aesthetics of the plate. Direct Touch heatpipe technology accelerates heat transfer from the VRM to the heatsink, significantly lowering temperatures and improving heat dispersion by a massive 30%. The thermal pad on Z390 AORUS motherboards is also thickened to 1,5mm to increase contact between the VRM and its heatsinks, allowing for superior heat transfer. The larger power supply area at the base of the 2x copper PCB design on GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS motherboards doubles the power and ground layers of the motherboards to make way for better and more successful overclocking.
In addition to new hardware implementations that improve overclocking, the GIGABYTE Z390 motherboards also come with a revamped BIOS interface that offers more intuitive and convenient overclocking. The new Easy Mode displays vital information on clock speeds, memory, storage devices, fan status, and other important hardware-related information so users have access to this information at a glance. Users can add new items to the list and bookmark them so they can easily access this information when needed. The optimized memory installation status reminder alerts users when they install two sets of memory but are operating in single channel mode and reminds them to change settings accordingly. Additionally, the latest BIOS layout lists all BIOS setting changes before saving so users can confirm all settings before continuing. Users can enjoy BIOS interface Recently refreshed by downloading the latest BIOS versions from the official GIGABYTE website.
Of course, when it comes to the list of necessary components / settings essential for ideal overclocking, CPU cooling is near the top of the list. Without adequate CPU cooling and effective heat dissipation, user systems have a much lower performance limit. Effective CPU cooling is especially essential in multi-core CPUs due to heat generated at higher clock speeds, so it cannot be overlooked when building a high-performance PC.
GIGABYTE introduces its next generation AIO cooling solution, AORUS Liquid Coolers, which provides the best heat dissipation for overclocking. With an Asetek Gen6 pump and AORUS designed fans that provide ultra-efficient and quiet cooling, AORUS liquid coolers ensure that CPUs run smoothly even under heavy loads. Additionally, all 3 sizes of radiators have been tested and fitted with the proper fan blade sizes for the best fit for cooling efficiency. AORUS Liquid Coolers tested the cooler under Prime95 tests and at maximum RPM compared to other AIO coolers on the market by running the Intel i9 9900KS CPU on all 5.0GHz cores.
AORUS liquid coolers feature a sleek, gaming-style LCD display pump cover for users to customize and develop their system. The LCD pump cover features four unique modes / tools including Enthusiast Mode, Function Mode, Custom Mode, and Display Rotator for users to display CPU model information, related fan performance data, or even custom images and text on the pump cover. Image Rotator allows users to rotate their own LCD images to their liking. All the most important data related to their fan cooling performance is accessible, so users can monitor the data and keep their fans running at the speeds / temperatures they prefer for their systems. The pump lid's textured aluminum extrusion design goes particularly well with gaming motherboards. The GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS Gaming line of motherboards offers a wide range of features. Utilizing components of renowned GIGABYTE Ultra-Durable Technology, fully solid capacitors, and all digital power designs with smart fan control design, these motherboards are energy efficient and environmentally friendly, while providing the best experience. user with its impressive performance and durability. When it comes to performance, GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS Gaming motherboards fire on all cylinders.
