Re-engineered Thermal Solution
With CPU draws larger power than ever. Thermal solution are pushed to a limit. X299X DESIGNARE 10G offers full Board Thermal Protection with Fins-Array and 6mm Balancing Heat Pipes . In order to place full Board Thermal Protection , we try hard to clear a path for it. Furthers, fins-Array Heatsink which improves the heat dissipation area by 300% compared to regular heatsinks of the same size. By using LAIRD 1.5mm thick, 5W/mK high thermal conductivity pad, it moves 2.7x more heat than regular thermal pads in the same time period. 6mm Heatpipe helps to move heat between heatsinks which to get thermal balance more quickly. On the back, we use Nanocarbon coating on baseplate, which leads to 10% cooler MOSFETs.
