Field-effect transistors on the other part of the converter are also equipped with a heatsink. The second one covers a part of a CPU power converter (with a heatsink on field-effect transistors). One of the airducts covers the northbridge with a semicircular heatsink, to use the air flow more effectively. The ends of these airducts on the rear panel are shaped like turbines of a jet aeroplane, hence the name (Turbojet). Engineers installed two "wind tunnels" with 40-mm fans at their ends. We should admit that Gigabyte managed to design a more complete system. Memory modules and a northbridge (the hottest bridge in the chipset) were cooled by separate devices - a northbridge fan and a complex device with two fans, mounted over DIMM slots, resting on their latches.
Air convection inside was governed not only by a CPU cooler, but also by two fans on the rear panel. Thus the airduct flowed over a CPU socket. Indeed, a power converter on such a motherboard from ABIT was covered by plastic housing. ABITįatal1ty models can be considered direct predecessors of the Gigabyte With Fanless Design, which allows to install fans on heatsinks. Should reduce load on the on-board power converter, and a cooler).Įven more interesting are modern motherboards from ASUS Models, which support a DPS module (with an additional VRM, which A simple example of active cooling - ECSĮxtreme motherboards (a fan with a small air duct at the rear panel) Use passive cooling for field-effect transistors (MSI was the firstĬompany to do it).
Itself, which would supplement a CPU coolerĪnd promote better temperature conditions for memory modules and especiallyįor a power unit in an on-board power converter. Know well about the attempts to mount a cooling system on a motherboard So it's too early to discuss peculiarities of the series, but Turbojet will certainly become one of such features.Ī model with Turbojet can be easily recognized at first sight.
There is only one model in the G1-Turbo series so far. Gigabyte presented its vision of motherboards for extreme overclockers and hardcore gamers :)). Interestingly, it's not just a top model with a lot of additional controllers and a luxurious (sometimes excessively) bundle. Up a system with two video cards (ATI CrossFire and NVIDIA SLI)Īs usual, Gigabyte was one of the first to announce a motherboard on the recently announced Intel 975X chipset.
