The AORUS Core takes inspiration from the falcon''s aerodynamic wings, incorporating a multi-layered design which features wing shaped contours and also resembles the falcon''s high velocity ascension and dive through the skies. With sleek and metallic armor, the AORUS Core symbolizes advancement in technology with its futuristic style. AORUS PERFORMANCE12 Phase Digital Power DesignX299 AORUS MASTER motherboard uses an 12 phase digital CPU power design which includes both digital PWM Controller. These 100% digital controller and additional 8+8 Solid-pin CPU Power Connectors offer incredible precision in delivering power to the motherboard''s most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components, allowing enthusiasts to get the absolute maximum performance from the new 9th Generation Intel Core processors.Fins-Array Heatsink with 6mm Heatpipe and High Thermal Conductivity Pad X299 AORUS MASTER uses Fins-Array Heatsink which increases the heat dissipation area by 300% compared to traditional heatsinks of the same size. By using LAIRD 1.5mm thick, 5W/mK high thermal conductivity pad, it can transfer 2.7x more heat than traditional thermal pads in the same time period. 6mm Heatpipe helps to transfer heat between two heatsinks which improves overall thermal balance of the MOSFETs. Fins-ArrayIncrease 300% heat dissipation area compared to traditional heatsink in same size. Active FanBuilt-in active cooling fan for faster MOSFET Heat dissipation; automatically adjust fan speed base on VRM temp. 6mm HeatpipeHeatpipe helps to transfer heat between two heatsinks which improves overall thermal balance of the MOSFETs. High Thermal Conductivity padBy using 1.5mm thicker 5 W/mK thermal conductivity pad, it can transfer 2.7x more heat than usual thermal pad in the same time. Thermal BaseplateBy using thermal pads between PCB back side components and baseplate to transfer heat and dissipate it by large metal plate.Base plate + I/O Shield ArmorDurable design and easy installation With an integrated base plate, GIGABYTE Motherboards give users a strong foundation to build their Gaming PCs.
