Key features
X3D Turbo Mode 2.0 leverages a built-in AI model and dedicated hardware circuits to dynamically optimize processor parameters in real time. This intelligent tuning boosts Ryzen™ X3D performance for gaming and multitasking, delivering a smoother, more immersive experience without manual tweaking. DriverBIOS features such as Wi-Fi driver pre-install and EZ network launch streamline setup and ensure you’re online and ready faster.
Dual-channel DDR5 support across four DIMM slots supports up to 256GB of memory and aggressive OC profiles up to DDR5 8800 MT/s (O.C.). Native support for AMD EXPO™ memory profiles makes one-click tuning simple, while broader compatibility ensures top-tier performance for both gamers and creative professionals who demand high memory bandwidth and low latency.
A digital twin 16+2+2 phase VRM design provides clean, efficient power to the CPU and memory subsystems, ideal for high-core-count Ryzen CPUs. Gigabyte’s VRM Thermal Armor Advanced, M.2 Thermal Guard L and M.2 Thermal Guard Ext, plus M.2 EZ-Flex and EZ-Latch Click & Plus designs, keep NVMe drives and critical components cool under load — extending longevity and maintaining peak performance during marathon sessions.
Four M.2 slots (including at least one PCIe 5.0 x4-capable slot) and two SATA 6Gb/s ports deliver a versatile storage arsenal for boot drives, scratch disks, and mass storage arrays. Robust RAID support—RAID 0/1/5/10 for NVMe and RAID 0/1 for SATA—lets creators and pros accelerate workflows or protect critical data. A full-sized PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and an additional x16 mechanical slot (running at x4) provide flexible GPU and expansion card configurations.
Stay connected with Realtek® 5GbE LAN for multi-gig wired networking and built-in Wi-Fi (including Wi-Fi 7-ready features and high-gain directional antenna support) for low-latency wireless gaming and streaming. The board includes Dual USB4 Type-C ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C and Type-A options, and HDMI output for integrated graphics support. High-fidelity onboard audio via the Realtek® ALC1220 CODEC delivers clear sound for immersive gaming, content creation, and conference calls. Thoughtful conveniences like WIFI EZ-Plug and user-friendly BIOS/UI features (Multi-Theme, AIO Fan Control, Q-Flash Auto Scan) simplify setup and daily use.
