PCIe 4.0 Hardware Design
GIGABYTE A620 Motherboards are ready to work with the PCIe 4.0 devices which are expected to experience twice bandwidth than the current PCIe 3.0 devices. To reach the high speed and maintain good signal integrity, GIGABYTE R&D uses the low impedance PCB to provide the maximum performance.

Hi-Fi Audio
High-End Audio Capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution and high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers

Easy Friendly
Innovative and intuitive hardware, software, and BIOS interface design to create your personal style.

EZ-Latch
Unlock the latch of the PCIe slot easily when remove the graphics card in the PCIe slot.

Q-Flash Plus
Update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory and graphics card. With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you don't need to install the CPU, memory and graphics card nor enter the BIOS menu to flash the BIOS. Just download and save a new BIOS file (rename to gigabyte.bin) on the USB flash drive, then press the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button and you?re good to go!
STEP 1: Plug 24pin & 8pin power supply cable on motherboard
STEP 2: Download motherboard BIOS file and rename to ""gigabyte.bin"", save to USB flashdrive, and plug USB flashdrive into Q-Flash USB port
STEP 3: Press Q-Flash Plus button, and motherboard will start updating BIOS automatically.

Smart Fan 6
Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fan and pump, and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface.

Cooling Features
High Current Support: Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection
Precision Control: Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve
Dual Curve Mode: Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenario
Fan Stop: Fan can stop completely below users' specified temperature point

Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI
Improve fan curve UI: We increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for precise and easier fan curve control.
Slope/Stair dual graph mode: Fan curve can be quickly switch with Slope and Stair modes for different user scenario. Slope is traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve. With newly added Stair non-linear mode, fan keeps at same speed between specified temperature interval.
Manual Input: For advanced users, we provide fan speed manual input for more precise control.
EZ Tuning: Use can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve.
Fan curve profile: Fan curve profile can be saved in BIOS ROM, profile will be kept after updating BIOS.
Note: The picture is for reference and may vary by model.
