The cost of DDR5 memory modules dropped significantly in 2022, giving gamers an incentive to upgrade or build new machines. AORUS aims to meet this demand with a new line of DDR5-compatible motherboards, ranging from flagship to mainstream models. DDR5 memory modules offer significant advantages over the older DDR4 standard, including:

• Enhanced performance for memory-intensive applications, including games.
• Reduced power demand, letting systems run cooler for even better performance.
• Greater bandwidth, enabling faster data transfer rates between memory modules and the CPU.
• Higher memory density, allowing for larger-capacity memory modules and thus more responsive systems that don’t have to access storage drives as often.

Next-gen boards for DDR5

Since each new generation of memory is incompatible with the last, builders need new motherboards to take advantage of them. And the B760/B760M AORUS ELITE series promises to fit the bill while providing performance-boosting extras of its own.

To help gamers get the most from their memory, AORUS motherboards let them auto-boost the native DDR5 frequency while the system is under heavy load with just a click. For overclocking enthusiasts, AORUS provides a proven platform for overclocking XMP compatible DDR5 modules up to 7600 and beyond.

Balancing performance, power, and thermal design

The 全台筆電收購gigabyte exclusively designed PerfDrive technology offers four pre-tuned BIOS profiles that allow gamers to strike the optimal balance between performance, power consumption, and temperature for the latest 13th gen Intel® Core™ processors. Whether you’re working with a high-end liquid cooler, tower cooler, or even an Intel® box cooler, the pre-tuned BIOS profiles optimize the setup for daily working and gaming.

The Max Turbo profile delivers the highest speed boost possible to enable intensive multi-tasking, such as gaming and streaming simultaneously. The Optimization profile strikes the best balance between high performance and low temperature to meet the demands of top-tier, AAA gaming. Spec Enhance profile offers cooler temperatures while still facilitating high performance. And the E-core Disable profile provides the lowest temperatures and quietest operation as it limits processing to performance cores rather than efficiency cores in order to boost performance and reduce power consumption.

Delivering all that performance has new AORUS boards pushing the envelope in the power and thermal management departments. For example, the B760 AORUS ELITE boards rely on advanced 12-phase digital voltage regulation module (VRM) technology to deliver rock-steady, high-quality power to the processors.  

For thermal management, copper in the printed circuit board (PCB) turns the entire board into a super-thin, PCB-size heatsink, lowering component temperatures by 3 percent or more by itself. The boards also feature single-piece MOSFET heatsinks that increase heat-dissipating surface area by up to twice that of other heatsinks. The result: enhanced heat dissipation from the transistors supplying power to the VRMs.

Finally, enlarged thermal guards for the onboard M.2 slots help prevent throttling and bottlenecks caused by high-speed M.2 solid-state drives (SSDs) overheating. It’s all to empower gamers to stay up and running at full throttle with the best memory and other components available.

Builder-friendly installation

As with other AORUS motherboards, the new B760/B760M AORUS ELITE boards’ EZ-Latch design offers a hassle-free DIY experience for gamers who want to get back into the action as fast as possible. The PCIe EZ-Latch system lets builders easily unlock graphics card slots, while M.2 EZ-Latch Plus provides for screw-less installation of SSDs with M.2 connectors.
