Six-Layer PCB Design

Enhanced Stability and Overclocking

The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.

Power Saving

Optimise Power with CPU, Lighting, and Fan Settings

The Power Saving function contains several settings to easily optimise power consumption and maximise energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting and set the fan profile to a Power Saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.
