With Smart Fan 5 users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its 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, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM and Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.
Fan Stop
Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops, based on readings from which sensor, and at what temperature - all of it can be customized to your liking.
ALC 1220 120 dB SNR HD audio
The ALC1220 is a high-performance multi-channel high-definition audio codec with up to 120 dB SNR for crystal clear audio and features such as Smart Headphone Amp, 114 dB SNR recording for precise voice chats and hardware decoding of DSD128, ensuring users get excellent audio quality from their PC.
High-end audio capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high-quality capacitors help deliver high-resolution and high fidelity audio to provide realistic sound effects for gamers.
Audio noise guard
GIGABYTE Z370 motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level. LED trace path lighting Illuminates to show the separation of the PCB layers.
