The second generation thread tearer is still TR4 package and interface, continue to match the X399 motherboard, but the maximum thermal design power increased from 180W to 250W, for the motherboard and cooling requirements have also increased a lot.
To this end, motherboard makers are upgrading the X399. Gigabyte first showed off X399 Aorus Extreme.
Special care for power supply and cooling design, total 10+3 phase electricity Road. Power supply part collocation Direct heat pipe and dense copper fins At the same time, both the chipset and the three M.2 slots are also covered with a large heat sink, the overall metal texture is full.
In addition, the internal power supply is also used A more advanced thermal paste, efficiency of 4-5W/K, several times higher than the average 1.8W/K.
Eight DDR4 memory slots are located on each side of the processor, four PCI-E 3.0 x16 expansion slots, all with metal protection.
It is worth mentioning that this board Cancelled DDR4, Fancy Lanterns on PCI-E Slots , Only in the peripheral area of the motherboard and the thermal part to retain the light effect, the overall stable a lot.
In addition, the motherboard is equipped with Aquantia AQC107 10 Gigabit LAN, Two Intel I210-AT Gigabit LAN, Intel AC-9265 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi Wireless LAN Card , Sound card used partially ESS 9118 Sabre DAC , The theoretical signal to noise ratio is 125dB, and the front USB Type-C interface pin supported by the master host ASM1143.
