Advanced Thermal Design

TRX40 AORUS MASTER reaches a perfect balance between style and performance by combining the media acclaimed Fins-Array heatsink, Heatpipe and a thermal baseplate, to provide lower MOSFET temperatures for enthusiasts, overclockers and professional gamers.

1. Heatpipe with Extended Heatsink

Extended heatsink with Heatpipe is capable of transferring more heat from MOS fins under same time period.

2. Fins-Array

Fins-Array increases the heat dissipation surface by 300% compared to traditional heatsinks of the same size.

3. 5 W/mK LAIRD Thermal Pad

By using LAIRD 5W/mK high thermal conductivity pads, it can transfer 2.7x more heat.

AORUS M.2 Thermal Guard

GIGABYTE Ultra-Efficient M.2 Thermal Guard

With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.

Thermal Throttling As Temperature Rises

• Base plate made of aluminum instead of traditional iron ensures 3X thermal conductivity.
• A thin layer of NanoCarbon is coated on the base plate through electrostatic adhesion to
  enhance thermal radiation capability.
• Transfer heat from the back side PCB to the base plate so the NanoCarbon base plate can
  dissipate heat passively.
• Effectively lowers backside PWM component temperature by 10%.

NanoCarbon Coating
This specialized nanostructure of carbon molecules has extraordinary thermal conductivity.

Noise Detection

With the new Noise Detection function, you can monitor noise level of all devices including fans, CPU coolers, graphics card, etc. in real time, and you can determine how fast your fan speed needs to be. Our bundled Noise Detection cable doesn’t include any sound recording function, it simply detects sound pressure while protecting your privacy.

Smart Fan 5

With 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.

Hybrid Fan Pin Headers

Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow-rate and water-temperature through the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers or external thermistor sensors—giving you absolute mastery over your PC.

• All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode.

New Smart Fan 5 Software

Choose from different modes, Quiet to Full Speed, to match your system usage preferences.
For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
