Ultimate Power Design
To unleash the full potential of the 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ CPU, the motherboard requires the best CPU power design. With the best quality components and GIGABYTE R&D design capability, TRX40 AORUS MASTER is a true beast among motherboards.

Direct 16+3 Phases Infineon Digital VRM Solution
TRX40 AORUS MASTER motherboard uses latest new generation Infineon multiphase PWM controller, and a total 16+3 phase for vCore and SOC, all with Infineon TDA21472 Power Stage MOSFET which is capable of providing at least 70A of power from each phase, for a total of amazing 1330A. Power design is no longer a bottleneck for this motherboard.

2X Copper PCB
GIGABYTE's exclusive 2X Copper PCBs design provides sufficient power trace paths between components to handle greater than normal power loads and to remove heat from the critical CPU power delivery area. This is essential to ensure the motherboard is able to handle the increased power loading that is necessary when overclocking.

Advanced Thermal Design
TRX40 AORUS MASTER reaches a perfect balance between style and performance by combining the media acclaimed Fins-Array heatsink, Heatpipe and a thermal baseplate, to provide lower MOSFET temperatures for enthusiasts, overclockers and professional gamers.

Heatpipe with Extended Heatsink
Extended heatsink with Heatpipe is capable of transferring more heat from MOS fins under same time period.

Fins-Array
Fins-Array increases the heat dissipation surface by 300% compared to traditional heatsinks of the same size.

5 W/mK LAIRD Thermal Pad
By using LAIRD 5W/mK high thermal conductivity pads, it can transfer 2.7x more heat.

Smart Fan

High Durability
TRX40 motherboards built-in a 5cm ball bearing fan which guarantee 50,000* working hours to cool down the heat brought out by the TRX40 chipset.

GIGABYTE Ultra-Efficient M.2 Thermal Guard
With durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.

NanoCarbon Coating
This specialized nanostructure of carbon molecules has extraordinary thermal conductivity.

Noise Detection
With the new Noise Detection function, you can monitor noise level of all devices including fans, CPU coolers, graphics card, etc. in real time, and you can determine how fast your fan speed needs to be. Our bundled Noise Detection cable doesn’t include any sound recording function, it simply detects sound pressure while protecting your privacy.

Smart Fan 5
With Smart Fan 5 users can ensure that 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.

Fan Stop
Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, 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.

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.

New Smart Fan 5 Software
Choose from different modes, Quiet to Full Speed, to match your system usage preferences. For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
