GIGABYTE unveiled the AMD AB350N-Gaming WIFI Mini-ITX motherboard, based on AMD B350 chipset. The motherboard comes with built-in Smart-Fan 5, Hybrid Fan Pin Header, RGB fusion and server-class components. It is designed to support AMD flagship-class Wraith Max CPU cooler, the high-performance cooling solution for the latest AMD CPUs, including Ryzen 7 processors.
AMD’s newly released Wraith Max has larger dimensions and weight, making the traditional Mini-ITX designs more challenging. Due to the limited space, GIGABYTE redesigned AB350N-Gaming WIFI motherboards to enlarge the zones between the CPU socket and DIMM Slots so that AB350N-Gaming WIFI can support larger CPU coolers and other components, and improve the air circulation at the same time. End-users can install memory modules with larger coolers without any interference.
The AB350N-Gaming WIFI uses server-class digital power design from International Rectifier which includes both 4th Generation Digital PWM Controllers, industry-leading 3rd Generation PowlRstage controllers, and the new generation of IR all digital power controllers. These digital controllers offer incredible precision in delivering power to motherboard’s essential components, allowing enthusiasts to get the maximum performance from their new AMD Ryzen CPU.
Smart Fan 5 technology allows users to change their fan headers to different locations, and read thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard, lowering the temperature accordingly. Smart Fan 5 uses hybrid fan headers which support both PWM and Voltage types fans, and also make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.
GIGABYTE AB350N-Gaming WIFI build-in Realtek GbE LAN features cFosSpeed, a network traffic management application which helps to improve network latency. In addition, the onboard 802.11ac WIFI module from Intel supports up to 433 Mbps, 3x faster WIFI speed than 802.11n, and also supports BLUETOOTH 4.2, maintaining low ping times to deliver better responsiveness in crowded LAN environments.
To top it off, GIGABYTE included the RGB Fusion feature, where users have access to different preset lighting configurations, including a choice of colors for LEDs and RGBW/UV. Users can also set the LEDs to synchronise with Wraith Max coolers or have them change colours to indicate the CPU temperature.
