Passive Cooling for the Ultimate Heat Dissipation
CPU draws bigger power than ever, Thermal solution are pushed to a limit. On X299X AORUS MASTER, there are 3 set of Fins-Array Heatsink with 6mm Heatpipe. In demand to place triple protection, GIGABYTE try hard to clear a path for it. Furthermore, the Fins-Array Heatsink increases the heat dissipation area by 300% matched to regular heatsinks of the same size. By using LAIRD 1.5mm thick, 5W/mK high thermal conductivity pad, it transfers 2.7x more heat than regular thermal pads in the same time period. The 6mm Heatpipe helps to transfer heat between heatsinks which to get thermal balance more quickly. On the back, GIGABYTE use Nanocarbon coating on baseplate.
