This helps to better protect the motherboard and its components against potential damage caused by static electricity. GIGABYTE motherboards also feature special anti-surge ICs that protect your motherboard, and your PC from any surge in power delivery that may occur, helping to ensure that your PC is equipped to deal with any potentially irregular and inconsistent power delivery.COOLINGEnlarged MOSFET HeatsinkEnlarged MOSFET Heatsink ensures lower temperature.Pre-installed IO Shield for easier assembly.Smart Fan 5With 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 ConnectorsInternal Temperature SensorsDifferent models have different number of fan pin headers and temperature sensors. Smart Fan 5 function may vary by model.Hybrid Fan Headers■ 5 Temperature Sensors ■ 3 Fan Pin Headers ■ All Fan Pin Headers Upgraded to Hybrid Fan Headers ■ Interoperable Fans and Sensors ■ Intuitive UI for Fan ControlAchieve 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.TINGRGB FUSION 2.0With B550 Motherboards, RGB Fusion 2.0 is even better with Addressable LEDs.
