A PERFECT BALANCE OF STYLE AND PERFORMANCEThe Z390 AORUS MASTER utilizes Fins-Array Heatsink to increase the heat dissipation area by 300% compared to traditional heatsinks to completely keep your components efficiently cooled, with Direct Touch Heatpipe working to help transfer heat from MOS to the heatsink and fins. By using LAIRD 1.5mm thick, 5W/mk high thermal conductivity pads, it can transfer 2.7x more heat compared to traditional thermal pads in the same amount of time, and is all backed up with a thermal baseplate. Z390 AORUS MASTER finds a perfect balance between aesthetics and performance by combining all these features to deliver 30% lower MOSFET temperatures to give enthusiasts, overclockers and professional gamers the best possible experience.

Discover Amazing Storage with Triple NVMe M.2

m.2 storage

ULTRA-FAST STORAGE WITH THERMAL GUARDZ390 AORUS motherboards offer industry-leading compatibility in terms of NVMe storage for users who demand the best possible storage performance, with AORUS' unique design that can be configured in RAID for record sequential read speeds of up to 3551 MB/s. This makes AORUS the ultimate choice for a fantastic system. Gigabyte also provides a thermal solution for your M.2 SSD devices, with the M.2 Thermal Guard working to dissipate heat to prevent throttling and bottlenecks from high-speed M.2 SSDs.

Extensive Support for DDR4 XMP

MEMORY SPEEDS UP TO 4400MHZAORUS offers a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 4400MHz and beyond. All you need to do to attain the impressive performance boost is ensure that your memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on your AORUS motherboard. DDR4 memory modules are available at a stock frequency of 2133MHz. Frequency tweaking requires a considerable amount of effort and knowledge, so memory vendors encode XMP profiles that can automatically modify the timings of the supported memory modules to work with your CPU for greater performance.
