Thermal Design

  • Direct-Touch Heatpipe II - With an extra large 8mm heatpipe and made from a new manufacturing process that narrows the gap between the heatpipe and heatsink, the new Direct-Touch Heatpipe II greatly help transfers heat on the MOSFET
  • 2X Copper PCB - 2X COPPER PCBs design effectively lower the component temperature by its high thermal conductivity and low impedance.
  • M.2 Thermal Guard III - M.2 Thermal Guard III constructed with 2.6X optimized heat dissipation surface and double-sided M.2 heatsinks to prevent throttling and bottlenecks on high-speed/ large capacity of PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSDs
  • 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 900% compared to traditional heatsinks but also improves thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat exchange
  • 9 W/mK Thermal Pad - By using 1.5mm thicker 9 W/mK thermal conductivity pads, it can transfer 5x more heat compared to traditional thermal pads at the same time
  • Enlarged Thermal Guard - Enlarged double-sided M.2 heatsink prevents high-speed, large capacity PCIe 4.0/3.0 SSDs with double side flash from throttling due to overheating

Direct-Touch Heatpipe II

With an extra large 8mm heatpipe and made by a new manufacturing process which has narrow down the gap between the heatpipe and heatsink. The new Direct-Touch Heatpipe II greatly helps to dissipate the heat on MOSFETs.

M.2 Thermal Guard III

GIGABYTE Thermal Guard III ensures PCIe 4.0 SSD running at 7GB/s With No Throttling.

Thermal Guard III

Continuing the advantages of M.2 Thermal Guard II design which using the double-sided thermal pads to elevate the height of M.2 heatsink as increasing surface area to dissipate heats on M.2 SSDs. M.2 Thermal Guard III constructed with 2.6X optimized heat dissipation surface to prevent throttling and bottleneck that high-speed/ large capacity of PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSDs may cause, especially under heavy workload.

  • Captive Screw - To prevent missing the M.2 heatsink screw.
  • 8X Optimized heat dissipation surface area compared to traditional heatsink.
  • Heatsink + Thermal Pad (Top)
  • M.2 SSD
  • Heatsink + Thermal Pad (Bottom)

NanoCarbon Baseplate

  • Base plate made of aluminium 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.

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.

2X Copper PCB

By adopting 2X copper on PCB inner layer, it lowers the components' temperature at least 3% by turning the PCB into a super thin PCB size copper heatsink to dissipate the heat from the components effectively, due to it’s high thermal conductivity and lower impedance.
