GIGABYTEone of the leading companies in high-performance and gaming hardware and components, has announced its new technology PerfDrive for a platform consisting of Intel 700 chipsets. This technology is responsible for integrating several exclusive GIGABYTE BIOS settings, so users can easily balance different levels of performance, power consumption and temperatures according to their needs when using the processor. Intel Raptor Lake (13th generation), including the very powerful Intel Core i9-13900K.

PerfDrive joins another technology released by GIGABYTE that facilitates the use of the latest generations of Intel processors, Instant 6GHz, which is available for motherboards targeting the Alder Lake and Raptor Lake generations. Similar to Instant 6GHz, PerfDrive integrates BIOS settings developed to optimize and enhance specifications. This combined with the GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC) software platform and the brand’s Ultra Durable design means GIGABYTE provides a powerful platform around the 700 series motherboards for Intel that are focused on Raptor Lake.

GIGABYTE’s hardware design allows motherboards to not only offer quality power management, thermal management and stability, but the GIGABYTE Z790 is also capable of delivering 9300MHz DDR5 memory performance. overclocking. This is where PerfDrive technology comes into play, making it easy to access configurations for optimal performance with the Z790 platform and easy tuning of motherboard models with the B760 chipset, all served through an intuitive user interface.

Instant 6GHz enables Intel Core i9-13900K, Core i9-13900KF, Core i7-13700K and Core i7-13700KF processor models to reach or exceed 6GHz performance simply by activating the appropriate BIOS setting, while PerfDrive also integrates into the Z790 platform various configuration modes available from the same place.

PerfDrive makes available three predefined modes: Optimization mode, thanks to which Intel Raptor Lake processor cores run at high speed and without throttling due to overheating (thermal throttling); Spec Enhance mode to balance performance while maintaining relatively low temperatures; in addition to deactivating low-performance cores (E-Core) to allocate resources only to high-performance cores (P-Core) in order to improve performance in games and while playing overclocking and at the same time reduce energy consumption.

The new GCC software platform provides a user-friendly interface for easier application installation, management and upgrades for optimized performance. On the other hand, the following features are also covered: RGB Fusion for easy configuration of RGB lights, Fan Control allows the user to easily set the fan speed, and Performance or Performance provides configuration overclocking default and the option for the user to set their own.

To get GIGABYTE PerfDrive technology, you need to update the BIOS of motherboards that support it, which can be done by going to the manufacturer’s website and searching for the motherboard model you are using.
