Built for Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2)

The LGA1851 socket supports Intel Core Ultra processors, fed by a digital twin 22+1+2 phase VRM solution with 110A Smart Power Stages in an 11+11 parallel power design — 22 VCORE phases to unlock the full power of your multi-core CPU, 1 VCCGT phase for integrated GPU performance and memory management, and 2 VCCSA phases for CPU-connected PCIe lanes. Dual 8-pin CPU power with UD solid pins, a 24-pin ATX UD connector, premium chokes and capacitors, and an 8-layer low-loss PCB with 2X copper keep your AI operation smooth.

Infinite Memory Performance — DDR5 to 9500 MT/s

Four DIMM slots with Memory UD Slot D5 reinforcement — a unibody stainless-steel shield with 1.3X increased anti-bending and 5000+ insertion/removal cycles — support up to 256GB of dual-channel DDR5 with XMP memory modules and CUDIMM support up to an exceptional 9500 MT/s (OC). D5 Bionic Corsa delivers advanced AI-enhanced overclocking technology for peak performance, with AORUS AI SNATCH auto-overclocking software, AI PerfDrive customized BIOS preset profiles, and HyperTune BIOS AI-driven optimization.

Ultimate Scalability — Dual PCIe 5.0 & Quad M.2

Two full-length PCIe 5.0 x16 slots (running x16 and x8) with Titanium PCIe UD Slot X armor — the rare and precious high-strength space metal providing ultimate protection for graphics cards with 10X load-bearing capacity, an exclusive backplate, rubber-strip PCB protection and zinc-alloy EMI shielding — deliver true multi-GPU scalability, enhanced by Ultra Durable PCIe Armor metal reinforcement. A PCIe 4.0 x4 slot adds further expansion. Four M.2 slots — one CPU-direct PCIe 5.0 x4 and three PCIe 4.0 x4 (one SATA-capable), all supporting up to 25110 form factor — provide ultra-fast storage with RAID 0/1/5/10 for NVMe and SATA.

Comprehensive Thermal

Advanced full-metal thermal design keeps the flagship cool and efficient: epic VRM heatsinks deliver a 10X massive cooling surface with a 3X ultimate heatpipe and 12 W/mK thermal pad; M.2 Thermal Guard XL with backplate provides 9X optimized heat dissipation while Thermal Guard Ext. covers three M.2 slots; DDR Wind Blade XTREME active memory cooling runs up to 18°C lower; the RL-ILM design reduces temperatures by up to 4°C; and small vents deliver big cooling power — keeping temperatures up to 7°C lower. Smart Fan 6 with multiple temperature sensors, hybrid fan headers and FAN STOP keeps everything cool, quiet, and customized.

Future Connectivity — Dual Thunderbolt 5 & Dual 10GbE

Dual Intel Thunderbolt 5 connectors on the rear panel blaze at up to 80Gbps with Thunderbolt devices (40Gbps USB4, 20Gbps USB 3.2), with DisplayPort 2.1 video output up to 8K@60Hz — joined by a front Thunderbolt 4 connector and two internal front-panel USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps) headers. Ten USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports line the rear panel. Dual Marvell AQtion 10GbE LAN chips deliver workstation-class wired networking, while Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200 (802.11be, up to 320MHz) with a directional ultra-high gain antenna featuring ARGB brings next-generation wireless plus Bluetooth 5.4. Audio is audiophile-grade: an ESS ES9280AC DAC with two ESS ES9080 chips, DTS:X Ultra processing, WIMA audiophile-grade capacitors, and the bundled Front ESSential USB DAC.

Immersive AORUS Lighting & Tailored Computing

The I/O ZONE AORUS LIGHTING delivers immersive lighting effects that enhance your gaming setup’s visual appeal. Every control is at your fingertips: Q-Flash Plus and OC Ignition buttons sit on the rear panel, with power, reset and Clear CMOS buttons onboard, Q-Flash Auto Scan finding your BIOS file automatically, and EZ-Latch Plus / EZ-Latch Click / PCIe EZ-Latch Plus making PCIe and M.2 installation screwless. The UC BIOS is restructured with user-centered performance adjustment, Multi-Theme skins including an exclusive grayscale mode, AIO Fan Control and AI PerfDrive, while the exclusive HWiNFO partnership with the new Power Monitor provides real-time monitoring on CPU power phases. GIGABYTE Control Center and RGB Fusion unify tuning and lighting.
