This 100% digital controller, new Tantalum Polymer Capacitors Array, and additional 8+4 Solid-pin CPU Power Connectors offer incredible precision and stability in delivering power to the motherboard´s most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components, allowing enthusiasts to get the absolute maximum overclocking performance from the Eight core 11th Gen. Intel Core processors.

Improved Transient Response:
- By using brand new VRM design and Tantalum Polymer Capacitor Array, Z590 AORUS motherboard transient response and stability is highly improved under overclocking and heavy loading condition.

Triple 7G/s Gen4 M.2 PCIe SSDs in RAID 0:
- The exclusive 3 PCIe 4.0 M.2 from CPU and 2nd Generation 7000 MB/s SSD provides unparalleled Read/ Write performance up to 20987 and 19378 MB/s.

Fins-Array II:
- Fins-Array II uses brand new louvered stacked fins technology which is usually only used on industrial equipment that need compact heat exchangers. It has a special secondary fins structure that enhances heat transfer performance.

Circulation Zone:
- Because of pressure difference and flow separation, a circulation zone will be formed between louvered fins. This circulation will cause flow entrain and eject in the vortice form which improves thermal efficiency.

Direct-Touch Heatpipe II:
- With an extra large 8mm heatpipe and made from a new manufacturing process to narrow the gap between the heatpipe and heatsink, new Direct-Touch Heatpipe II greatly helps transfer heat on MOSFETs.

AORUS M.2 Thermal Guard II:
- With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a new thermal solution for large capacity M.2 SSD devices with double side flash. The M.2 Thermal Guard II uses a double-sided heatsink design and prevents throttling and bottlenecks on high speed M.2 SSDs by dissipating heat before it becomes an issue.
- Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fan and pump, and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface.

Intel 2.5GbE LAN Onboard:
- 2X Faster than ever
- Adoption of 2.5G LAN provide up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least 2 times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking, perfectly designed for gamers with ultimate online gaming experience.
