Gigabyte B450M K AM4 micro ATX - Motherboard

Smart Fan 5 smart fan

With Smart Fan 5, users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to swap their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Furthermore, with Smart Fan 5, more hybrid fan headers that support PWM fans and voltage mode have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.

Silence with Fan Stop

Achieve fan silence . With Fan Stop, program any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. The fan stops, based on readings from which sensor and at what temperature. Everything can be customized to your liking.

Hybrid fan pin connectors

Take full control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-minute flow rate and water temperature information via the hybrid fan's pin connectors or external thermistor sensors, giving you absolute mastery over your PC. All hybrid ventilation connectors can automatically detect the type of cooling device , whether fan or pump with different PWM or voltage mode.

Smart Fan 5 with new 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 .

State-of-the-art audio capacitors

GIGABYTE motherboards use state-of-the-art audio capacitors . These high-quality capacitors help deliver high-resolution, high-fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers.

Audio noise protection

GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise shield that essentially separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level.

Anti-sulfur design for a longer-lasting motherboard

Sulfur compounds in the air can get into tiny internal resistors , creating chemical changes and causing those resistors to open or short out. If any of these occur, the motherboard will not work. By equipping the resistors with an anti-sulfur design, GIGABYTE gives ultra-long-lasting motherboards a whole new meaning.

surge protection

GIGABYTE motherboards also feature a special anti-surge IC that protects your motherboard, helping to ensure your PC is equipped to handle any potentially erratic electrical spikes.

Moisture proof glass cloth PCBs

There's nothing more detrimental to your PC's longevity than humidity, and most of the world experiences air humidity as humidity at some point of the year. GIGABYTE motherboards are designed to ensure that moisture is never an issue , incorporating a new Glass Fabric PCB technology that repels moisture caused by humid conditions. Glass fabric PCB technology uses a new PCB material that reduces the amount of space between the fiber fabric, making it much more difficult for moisture to penetrate compared to traditional motherboard PCBs. This offers much better protection against short circuits and system malfunctions caused by wet conditions.

High temperature protection

GIGABYTE motherboards use Low RDS(on) MOSFETs that reduce power wastage by dissipating unnecessary waste heat. All of this results in tangible energy savings that are beneficial to both end users and the environment, without impacting system performance.

BIOS

All new EASY MODE shows important hardware information on one page, including CPU clock, memory, storage, fan. Add frequently used items to the favorites menu for quick access. Show all kinds of storage information including SATA, PCIE and M.2 interface. List all changes before saving and exiting the BIOS. Quickly review the general settings modification. Clearly show each load line calibration setup in an intuitive curve graph .

application center

GIGABYTE APP CENTER is a handy portal of all GIGABYTE MB utilities and drivers, you can choose any utility you want to install from the APP CENTER and keep it updated with the latest versions of utilities and drivers.

EasyTune

GIGABYTE's EasyTune™ is a simple and easy-to-use interface that allows users to tweak system settings or adjust system and memory clocks and voltages in a Windows environment . With Smart Quick Boost, one click is all it takes to automatically overclock your system, giving you an extra performance boost when you need it most.

@BIOS

The GIGABYTE @BIOS application allows you to update your system's BIOS from within Windows using a simple and elegant GUI. @BIOS can automatically download the latest version from GIGABYTE servers or it can update your BIOS from a file on your computer. @BIOS also allows you to save your current BIOS to a file, recover your previous BIOS from an image, and backup your BIOS to an image.

System Information Viewer

The GIGABYTE System Information Viewer is a central location that provides access to the current system status . Monitor components such as clocks and processor, set your preferred fan speed profile, create alerts when temperatures get too high or record your system's behavior; these are the possibilities of the System Information Viewer.

4K Ultra HD resolution

4K resolution is the next technological milestone in high-definition content delivery, utilizing approximately 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis, more than four times the current standard HD pixel density. GIGABYTE motherboards provide native 4K support with integrated AMD Radeon® graphics via HDMI .

HDMI high definition multimedia interface

HDMI™ is a high-definition multimedia interface that provides up to 5 Gb/s video transmission bandwidth and high-quality 8-channel audio over a single cable. Capable of transmitting superior, uncompressed digital video and audio, HDMI™ ensures the sharpest rendering of digital content up to 1080p without the quality losses associated with analog interfaces and their digital-to-analog conversion. In addition, HDMI™ supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), allowing playback of Blu-ray/HD DVD and other protected media content.
