Gigabyte B460M D2V Motherboard

Gigabyte B460M D2V Motherboard:

The Gigabyte B460M D2V (rev. 1.0) Motherboard is a micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel® B460 Express Chipset. It is designed to support 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors in the LGA1200 package. This motherboard offers a reliable and efficient platform for mainstream desktop builds, focusing on essential features and durability.

Key Features for Reliable Performance:

This motherboard features a 4+2 Hybrid Digital VRM with Low RDS(on) MOSFETs, which helps in reducing energy waste and heat dissipation, contributing to better system performance and longevity. It supports Dual Channel DDR4 RAM across two DIMM sockets, with a maximum capacity of 64GB. For Intel® Core™ i9/i7 processors, it supports RAM speeds up to 2933MHz, while for Intel® Core™ i5/i3/Pentium®/Celeron® processors, it supports up to 2666MHz. It also supports Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) RAM modules.

For storage, the B460M D2V includes an Ultra-Fast NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 Connector, supporting 2242/2260/2280 type SATA and PCIe SSDs for fast data transfer speeds. Additionally, it provides six SATA 6Gb/s connectors with support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 configurations. The motherboard is also Intel® Optane™ Memory Ready for enhanced storage performance.

Connectivity is handled by the Realtek® GbE LAN chip (100/1000 Mbit), which is an exclusive gaming LAN with bandwidth management to prioritize network traffic for games and applications. For integrated graphics output (when using compatible Intel® Core™ processors with integrated graphics), it offers D-Sub and DVI-D ports.

The motherboard incorporates Smart Fan 5, featuring multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP functionality. This allows for precise control over cooling performance, enabling fans to stop completely when temperatures are low for quieter operation.

The B460M D2V is built with Gigabyte’s “Ultra Durable” features, including Anti-Sulfur Resistors Design to protect against sulfur compounds in the air, and Humidity Protection Glass Fabric PCB, which repels moisture to prevent short circuits and system malfunctions. It also has High-End Audio Capacitors and an Audio Noise Guard for improved sound quality. The motherboard is also CEC 2019 Ready, indicating its high power efficiency.
