Direct your most critical workloads to your processor's fastest cores with Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0.
RGB fusion- set the color that matches your style
AORUS' X299 motherboards boast the most advanced LED system in the market today. With more customizability than ever and a convenient and intuitive UI thanks to the RGB Fusion App, you'll have a blast making your AORUS your own. For a more functional use, the bright and vibrant LEDs can be configured to display the PC's temperature or load. For even more LED goodness RGBW strips are now supported for more true and vibrant whites.
RGB Fusion with Digital LEDs
With AORUS X299 Motherboards, RGB Fusion is even better with Digital LEDs. RGB Fusion offers users the option to control onboard and external LED light strips for their PC. Already feature filled with colors and patterns, RGB Fusion on X299 Series AORUS Motherboards are now upgraded with Digital LED support. With onboard options and external digital LED strips, where each LED is digitally addressable, users can experience even more patterns, styles, and illuminations.
Surround lighting
Now offering more LED customizations than ever, users can truly adapt their PC to represent their lifestyle. With full RGB support and a redesigned RGB Fusion application, the user has complete control over the LEDs which surround the motherboard.
Gigabyte RGB fusion app
Don't just make your PC shine; make it a work of art that friends will envy. With the GIGABYTE RGB Fusion mobile app users can watch as they control the lighting within their gaming PC. This gives users ease of access as they try and adjust colors and speeds for different modes, all this can be done away from the keyboard and monitor of their PC. Supports RGBW and UV light strips two onboard pin headers for LED strips.

You can even set the LEDs to synchronize with your favorite music or have them change colors to indicate the CPU temperature. For true lighting experts there is an advanced mode, which can be fully customized by individual area with own effects and color transitions, along with specific duration and transition times. Once done, it's simple to save and share your lighting profile with others.
Smart fan 5
With smart fan 5 users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain performance while staying cool. Smart fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM and voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.
All hybrid fan pin headers
All hybrid fan headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or voltage mode. Supports up to 2 amps with built-in overcurrent protection - a must for high-end high current fans.
Smart fan 5 software
Choose from different modes, quiet to full speed, to match your system usage scenario. For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
Enhanced BIOS interface
The enhanced BIOS interface also has the advanced features seen in the smart fan 5 UI, such as: the ability to set triggers based on different temperature sensors on the board, fan curve definition and the temperature interval setting, which can prevent fan rotation noise caused by sudden temperature change.
Smart headphone amp
Automatically detects impedance of your head-worn audio device, whether earbuds or high-end headphones to provide optimal audio dynamics-preventing issues such as low volume and distortion.
High-end audio capacitors
Gaming motherboards use high-end Chemicon audio capacitors. These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution and high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers.
Anti-sulfur resistor design
Sulfur compounds in the air can penetrate tiny onboard resistors creating chemical change and causing these resistors to open or short. If either of these occurs the motherboard will fail to function. By equipping resistors with an Anti-Sulfur design Gigabyte gives ultra-durable Motherboards a whole different meaning.
4K ultra HD support
4K resolution is the next technological milestone in high-definition content delivery, utilizing approximately 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis, more than four times today's standard HD pixel density. Gigabyte motherboards provide native 4K support with integrated AMD radeon graphics via HDMI.HDMI - The Next Generation Multimedia Interface
HDMI is a High-Definition Multimedia Interface
Which provides up to 5GB/s video transmitting bandwidth and 8-channel high quality audio all through a single cable. Able to transmit superior, uncompressed digital video and audio, HDMI ensures the crispest rendering of digital content up to 1080p without the quality losses associated with analog interfaces and their digital-to-analog conversion. In addition, HDMI is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), allowing the playback of Blu-ray/HD DVD and other protected media content.
