    Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 4000MHz and Beyond*

    GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 4000MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP-capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their GIGABYTE motherboard.

    X299
    What Is XMP?

    DDR4 memory modules are available at a stock frequency of 2133MHz, but as frequency tweaking requires a considerable amount of effort and knowledge, memory vendors encode XMP profiles which can automatically modify the timings of the supported memory modules to work with your CPU and to achieve increased performance.

    *XMP Profile support may vary depending on memory module. Please visit www.gigabyte.com to see the complete validated memory support list. Product features may vary by model.

    X299
    X299

    The GIGABYTE X299 platform is the first enthusiast platform that supports Intel's latest Optane technology. Optane fuels storage performance by acting as a cache drive giving users a significant boost compared to traditional mechanical drives.

    Broad DDR4 Compatibility with a Compatibility List of 1000+

    GIGABYTE works very closely with memory vendors from around the world to ensure that modules offered by popular memory brands are compatible with GIGABYTE motherboards. GIGABYTE has verified over 1000+ different modules to ensure performance in a GIGABYTE-built system.

    Smart Fan 5

    With Smart Fan 5, users can ensure their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM and Voltage-mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid-cooling friendly.

    X299

    Different models have a different number of fan-pin headers and temperature sensors. Smart Fan 5 function may vary by model.

    X299
    • 9 temperature sensors
    • 8 fan/water pump Connectors
    • Interoperable fans and sensors
    • Intuitive UI for fan control
    X299

    Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, you can map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops, based on readings from which sensor, and at what temperature—all of it can be customized to your liking.

    X299

    Hybrid Fan-Pin Headers

    Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow-rate and water-temperature through the hybrid fan-pin headers or external thermistor sensors—giving you absolute mastery over your PC.
    • All hybrid fan-headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it's a fan or pump with a different pulse-width modulation (PWM) or Voltage mode.

    X299

    New Smart Fan 5 Software

    Choose from different modes, Quiet to Full Speed, to match your system-usage scenario.
    For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.

    X299
    Interoperable Sensors and Fans

    Each fan can be customized to operate at different speeds according to any defined temperature source input (except the CPU fan).

    X299
    Fan Curve

    Customize fan curves based on specific temperatures with the intuitive graphical UI.

    System Information Viewer

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

    RGB Fusion with Digital LEDs
    X299

    With X299-WU8 motherboards, RGB Fusion is even better with digital LEDs.** RGB Fusion offers users the option to control external LED light strips for their PC. Being already feature-filled with colors and patterns, RGB Fusion on X299-WU8 motherboards are now upgraded with digital LED support. With external digital LED strips,* where each LED is digitally addressable, users can experience even more patterns, styles, and illuminations.
    **Digital LEDs are available only on select motherboards. External LED strips and digital LED strips are not included with motherboard purchase.

    X299
    Supports RGBW & UV Light Strips

    Independently Programmable Onboard Pin Header for RGBW/UV LED Strips
    Not bright enough? You can install standard 12V external RGB, RGBW or RGB/UV light strips on the RGBW pin header and control its color from the RGB Fusion software. Using a RGBW light strip with a dedicated white LED, users will experience brighter and more vibrant shades of colors.

    When using RGB/UV LED strips, users can give their systems a fluorescent glow with the use of UV reactive liquid, neon braided cables, and acrylic paint for a wicked-looking gaming PC.

    No need to worry when choosing light strips as GIGABYTE motherboards support a wide variety of RGBW/-UV light strips on the market thanks to the RGB Fusion software that allows users to redefine the pin location for the RGB signal.
