HEDT-class motherboards built on the basis of specialized sockets (AMD TRX40, Intel X299, etc.). Are designed for serious loads and in terms of equipment leave behind most expensive overclocking enthusiasts. For example, the Gigabyte TRX40 DESIGNARE model uses a 16+3 phase power subsystem equipped with a digital VRM module based on Infineon power components and triple thermal protection, which includes an array of special metal and a pack of direct contact heat pipes. This is not to be frightened by the overclocking of Ryzen 9.


The Designare series cards have up to 8 slots for installing RAM modules (maximum volume of 265 GB), at least two M.2 slots for solid–state drives, as well as 8-10 SATA ports of 6 Gbit/s. DESIGNARE models differ from other overclocker motherboards due to the presence of specialized HEDT lotions. For example, it can be a built-in GC-Titan Ridge AIC adapter that allows you to connect up to 3 Thunderbolt-enabled devices to the board in series without the need for an additional hub or switch. Its bandwidth is an impressive 40 Gbps, and the port itself supports fast charging.

Add here hi-end Wima capacitors, a built-in GIGABYTE SIV monitoring system, a dual LAN controller, specialized expansion slots for PCI-E cards, support for multiple video cards — and you get a motherboard capable of withstanding all the hardships of this world. In addition to this, some series cards are equipped with two independent BIOS chips that will come to the rescue in case of hardware failures, unsuccessful overclocking or a virus attack.
