2. Enstalasyon ak Enstalasyon

2.1 CPU Enstalasyon

The motherboard features Intel's new LGA 1851 socket. This socket has the same dimensions and center-to-center distance for mounting holes as LGA 1700, meaning your existing LGA 1700 compatible CPU coolers will work.

2.2 Enstalasyon RAM

The board includes four DDR5 DIMM slots, supporting up to 256GB of DDR5 9200 memory. Ensure RAM modules are correctly aligned and seated firmly into the slots until the clips engage.

2.3 Enstalasyon SSD M.2

The motherboard provides three M.2 slots, all supporting PCIe Express 4.0. The bottom slot also supports SATA M.2 drives. All M.2 slots utilize Gigabyte's EZ-Latch Click system for tool-less installation and removal. Simply insert the M.2 drive and press it down until it clicks into place. To remove, press the latch and the drive will pop out.

2.4 PCIe Expansion Cards

There are three PCI Express X16 slots. The top slot is PCI Express 5.0 and runs at X16 speed, while the bottom two are PCI Express 4.0 and run at X4 speed. The top slot is metal-reinforced, referred to as PCIE UD Slot X, offering 10 times load-bearing capacity and a zinc alloy design. For graphics card removal, a dedicated button on the board allows for easy release of the graphics card slot, simplifying the process, especially with large coolers or M.2 heatsinks.

4. Karakteristik

4.1 Power Design

The motherboard utilizes a robust 14+1+2 power phase design, with Vcore phases rated at 60A, ensuring stable and efficient power delivery to the CPU for optimal performance and overclocking stability.

4.2 Jesyon tèmik

Large heatsinks cover the power delivery components to maintain optimal temperatures. The M.2 slots are also covered by heatsinks, with the top M.2 heatsink being thicker to effectively cool PCIe Express 5.0 drives.

4.3 EZ-Latch System

Gigabyte's EZ-Latch Plus system simplifies the installation and removal of M.2 SSDs and graphics cards. M.2 drives can be installed without screws, and a dedicated button allows for easy release of the graphics card from its PCIe slot.

4.4 Ekleraj RGB

The motherboard features integrated RGB lighting, including illumination by the 'Eagle' logo on the rear I/O cover, along the edge of the board where it says 'Game On', and around the chipset heatsink, providing customizable aesthetics.

5. Opere

5.1 Mizajou BIOS

The QFlash+ button on the front panel headers allows you to update the BIOS without needing to install a CPU, RAM, or a video card, simplifying the update process.

5.2 Wi-Fi 7 Antenna

The included Wi-Fi 7 antenna features a Wi-Fi Easy Plug design. Simply line up and plug in the antenna to the designated port on the rear I/O panel. No more turning small knobs to secure the connection.

6. Antretyen

6.1 M.2 Heatsink Removal and Installation

To access the M.2 slots, release the latch on each heatsink and lift it off. To reinstall, align the heatsink and snap it back into place. The EZ-Latch system ensures a secure fit without the need for tools.

NAN. Depanaj

The motherboard includes an EZ-Debug Zone with small buttons for Power, Reset, and QFlash+. These features assist in diagnosing and resolving boot-up issues or performing BIOS updates without a full system assembly.
