Gigabyte Z690 AORUS TACHYON DDR5 Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE Z690 Aorus TACHYON is the pinnacle of overclocking motherboard completely designed by and for overclockers, who are continuously seeking to break unimaginable performance limit. Its specialized VRM design, memory layout trace and built-in overclocking buttons and switches enable overclocking enthusiasts to unleash full potential of latest generation Intel Core processor.
Digital PWM Controller
VRM design uses RENESAS RAA229131 PWM controller that directly drives 15 phases for the highest efficiency.
105A Power Stage
Each vcore VRM phase uses 105A RAA220105 Power stage for maximum current capacity under extreme overclocking.
Tantalum Capacitor Matrix
VRM design uses 100% full tantalum polymer capacitors for better transient response and less mechanical interference with extreme overclocking cooling device.
Dual CPU Power Connectors
Dual 8 pin CPU power connectors with metal shielding provide maximal current input to processor
Power Architecture
The more advanced manufacturing process and the higher core count on the new generation of CPUs, requires motherboards to utilize a more sophisticated VRM design to make CPUs run at their full potential. GIGABYTE uses fully DIRECT VRM DESIGN, high quality MOSFETs and tantalum polymer capacitors to achieve higher efficiency, lower voltage ripple and lower temperature than traditional parallel VRM design.
Tantalum Polymer Capacitor Matrix
Improved Transient Response
XTREME MEMORY
PCIe 5.0 DESIGN
GIGABYTE Z690 Motherboards are ready to work with the upcoming PCIe 5.0 devices which are expected to experience double bandwidth than the current PCIe 4.0 devices. To reach the high speed and maintain good signal integrity, Gigabyte R&D uses the low impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance.Â
Intel 802.11ax WIFI 6E
Benefit of WIFI 6E
- Dedicated spectrum in 6GHz band for less interference
- 5.5X throughput than 802.11ac 1×1*
- 4X better network capacity, no traffic jams especially in those dense area with lots of devices
- Network efficiency increase for better user experience
