AI performance and intelligent optimisation
The advanced AI PerfDrive system analyses system behaviour and automatically adjusts the BIOS for maximum efficiency. AI SNATCH Engine technology uses artificial intelligence to precisely overclock the CPU and memory without the risk of overheating or instability. The HyperTune BIOS feature further optimises MRC parameters, which increases memory frequency and speeds up system response. Combined with intelligent power management and protection against overvoltage, overload, and overheating, it provides safe and efficient operation under any load.
Advanced heatsink and thermal solution
The board is equipped with an extended VRM Thermal Armor Advanced metal heatsink and highly conductive 5 W/mK thermal pads that effectively dissipate heat from critical components. The integrated M.2 Thermal Guard L solution with an additional backplate ensures SSD temperatures are up to 7°C lower, while Smart Fan 6 technology enables precise fan speed control, quiet operation, and custom cooling curves in the BIOS.
