Power up for Raptor Lake

The best VRM design we ever build for the latest 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors for the Socket LGA 1700, let along i9-13900K.

Balance of heat.

The 8mm heat pipe introduced in every AORUS Z790 series motherboard greatly dissipates the heat on MOSFETs and balances it out.

Cool as metal.

A number of metal fins are arranged in arrays of high density to create more contact surfaces for airflows and improve thermal efficiency.

Shape it up.

The most modern fins design forms into irregular shapes to extend more surface to the I/O aluminum cover and dissipate the heat.

up to 9x* surface increase

* Modern Fins-arrays III compared to traditional molding heat sink.

Overall thermal.

A compact version of the full-metal thermal solution covers as well as your M.2 SSD with Fins-Array III, 8mm Mega-Heatpipe, and everything.

Read out loud.

Monitor several critical system stats in real-time on the built-in LCD in response to increased power consumption.
