Super Shield - Locked and Loaded Heatpipe and 5 Smart Fan ConnectorsThe GIGABYTE G1.Assassin 2 features a redesigned distinctive signature heatpipe that was designed to be as deadly to heat as it looks. By effectively spreading the heat from the critical areas of the motherboard such as the CPU VRM zone and quickly dissipating it, the G1.Assassin 2 remains cool, even when the battle heats up. To further help eliminate heat in the field of war, five Smart Fan pin headers which allow for precise cooling fan control, have been strategically placed around the board. Each fan can take advantage of its own thermal sensor and can also be controlled by via GIGABYTE's EasyTune 6 utility as well as within the UEFI BIOS.
