Source2Maker product pagegigabyte.com/us/Laptop/AORUS-MASTER-16-AM6JRead 5 October 2026Turbo mode CPU 55 W/GPU 175 W values are explicitly stated for the upper 5090-class setup. They are simultaneous mode allocations, not generic chip default TDP or observed measurements. Maker standalone CPU up to 140 W Max TDP is not assigned to short-duration cpu_power_max_w or sustained cpu_tdp_configured_w without a stated duration.3Owner's manualgzhls.at/blob/ldb/2/d/b/9/f39fa89095bdd3a16cd52a33db64f684b9d2.pdfRead 7 October 2026Page 5 hotkey Fn+F7 explicitly cycles ECO/Banlance/Performance. The typographical Banlance is normalized to Balance. Current main maker page separately identifies Turbo. No numeric limits are inferred for Eco, Balance or Performance.

Same AM6J/9955HX3D/5090 board teardown independently confirms both accept 2280 drives. Its 1 TB review occupancy is not inherited. Exact selected total 2 TB does not establish whether one 2 TB or two 1 TB drives are installed, so both occupancy cells remain unknown. Installed drive generation is not inferred from slot maximum. The optional slot table is omitted because unknown occupancy currently produces a false zero free-slot count. Published connector capabilities remain documented here.
