Gigabyte B450M-K Socket AM4 Motherboard

GIGABYTE 400 Series motherboards maximize the potential of your PC with AMD StoreMI technology. StoreMI accelerates traditional storage devices to reduce boot times and improve the overall user experience. This easy-to-use utility combines the speed of SSDs with the high capacity of HDDs in a single drive, improves device read/write speeds to match SSDs, increases data throughput to a Incredible value and transforms everyday PCs into a performance-driven system.

In addition, it has Smart Fan 5, with this cooling users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain stable performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to swap their fan connectors to reflect different thermal sensors in different locations on the motherboard. Additionally, with Smart Fan 5, the hybrid fan connectors support PWM and voltage fans, this makes the motherboard more adapted to mounting liquid cooling.

NVMe PCIe Gen 3x4 22110 M.2 Connector
GIGABYTE motherboards focus on bringing M.2 technology to enthusiasts who want to maximize the potential of their system.
 
GbE LAN with bandwidth management
GbE LAN features a network bandwidth management application that helps improve network latency and maintain low ping times for better responsiveness in crowded LAN environments.
 
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 swap 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 have been introduced that support PWM and Voltage mode fans to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.
 
Fan Stop
Get the silence of the fans. With Fan Stop, program any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specific threshold. Which fan stops, based on what sensor readings and at what temperature, everything can be customized to your liking.
 
Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
Take full control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-date information on water flow and temperature through the hybrid fan's 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 activation thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.

AUDIO
GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high-quality capacitors help deliver high-resolution, high-fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers.
Audio noise protector
GIGABYTE motherboards feature audio noise shielding that essentially separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise contamination at the PCB level.
 
Industry-leading surge protection
GIGABYTE motherboards also feature a special anti-surge IC that protects your motherboard, helping to ensure your PC is equipped to deal with potentially irregular electrical spikes.
 
Moisture Protection Glass Cloth PCB
There's nothing more damaging to the longevity of your PC than humidity, and most parts of the world experience moisture in the air as humidity at some point during the year. GIGABYTE motherboards have been designed to ensure that moisture is never an issue, incorporating new glass cloth PCB technology that repels moisture caused by damp and humid conditions. Glass cloth PCB technology uses a new PCB material that reduces the amount of space between the fiber fabric, making it much more difficult for moisture to penetrate compared to traditional printed circuit boards. This offers much better protection against short circuits and system failures caused by wet and humid conditions.
 
High temperature protection MOSFET design with lower RDS (on)
GIGABYTE motherboards use low RDS (turn-on) MOSFETs that reduce power waste through unnecessary waste heat dissipation. All of this equates to tangible energy savings that are beneficial to both end users and the environment without impacting system performance.
 
4K Ultra HD support
4K resolution is the next technological milestone in delivering high-definition content, using approximately 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis, more than four times the current standard HD pixel density. GIGABYTE motherboards provide native 4K support with integrated AMD Radeon ® graphics via HDMI.
 
HDMI™: the next generation multimedia interface
HDMI™ is a high-definition multimedia interface that provides up to 5 Gb/s video transmission bandwidth and 8-channel high-quality audio, all over a single cable. Capable of transmitting superior uncompressed digital video and audio, HDMI™ ensures the sharpest playback of digital content up to 1080p without the quality losses associated with analog interfaces and their digital-to-analog conversion. Additionally, HDMI™ supports HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection), enabling playback of Blu-ray/HD DVD and other protected media content.
