NEXT TO THE EVGA X58 CLASSIFED THIS BOARD IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST BOARDS I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN(as we do a ot of reviews and builds),I LIKE THE WATER COOLING BLOCKS ON THE CHIPSETS AS THEY COST A SMALL FORTUNE AND YOU HAVE TO DO SOME SERIOUS MODIFYING TO GET THESE OTHER WATER BLOCKS TO WORK AND WORK RIGHT.THIS VERY WELL MAY BE MY NEXT BUILD AS THE REVIEWS WERE OUTSTANDING ON THIS PARTICULAR BOARD.I AM A SERIOUS OVER CLOCKERS AND YOU KNOW HOW HOT ANY BOARD GETS WHEN YOU GET THESE SCREAMERS ALONG WITH THE KICK-BUTT BOARDS THAT ARE OUT.FIXING TO BENCHMARK THIS ONE AND CHECK OUT OUR REVIEWS ON THE BLOG FOR THE RESULTS!!I LIKE MY TRIPLE SLI EVGA 790I SET-UP AS ITS BAD TO THE BONE AS I DONT SEE HOW ONE COULD POSSIBLY FIND ONE FASTER,BUT I AM GIVING A SHOT TO SEE WHAT THE FUSS IS ABOUT! |

A Closer Look
CPU Chipset Features
-
LGA 1366 Intel® Core i7 Processor Ready
This motherboard supports the latest Intel Core i7 processors in LGA 1366 package. It´s excellent for multi-tasking, multi-media and enthusiastic gamers with up to 6.4 GT/s QPI. The Intel Core i7 Processor is the most powerful CPU in the world.
-
Intel® X58 Chipset
The Intel® X58 Express Chipset is the latest chipset designed to support the next generation 45nm CPU in high-end desktop and workstation platform; and up to 12GB of Triple-channel DDR3 1600/1333/1066/ MHz memory architecture. It also supports up to 6.4 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect, fully dual PCI Express x16 graphics and multi-core CPUs. With the specially included Intel® Fast Memory Access technology, available memory bandwidth usage is optimized and memory access latency is reduced- allowing faster memory speed.
-
PCIe 2.0
Double Speed; Double Bandwidth
This motherboard supports the latest PCIe 2.0 devices for double speed and bandwidth which enhances system performance.
-
ATI CrossFireX Technology
ATI´s CrossFireX boosts image quality along with rendering speed, eliminating the need to scale down screen resolutions to get the high image quality you want. CrossFire ignites with the higher antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings you desire. Adjust your display configurations, experiment with your advanced 3D settings, and check the effect with a real-time 3D-rendered preview within ATI´s Catalyst™ Control Center to rule your CrossFireX system.
-
NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface)
NVIDIA SLI™ (Scalable Link Interface) technology is a revolutionary approach to scalability and increased performance. NVIDIA SLI takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express™ bus architecture, and features hardware and software innovations within NVIDIA GPUs (graphics processing units) and NVIDIA nForce4 MCPs (media and communications processors). Together the NVIDIA SLI patent-pending technologies work seamlessly to deliver heart-pounding PC performance. And depending on the application, NVIDIA SLI can deliver as much as 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration for unparalleled gaming experiences.

Memory Feature
Triple-Channel DDR3 1800(O.C.)/ 1600 MHz(O.C.) / 1333 MHz / 1066 MHz The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1800(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066/ to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operation system, 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The triple-channel DDR3 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 17 GB/s. Furthermore, the supply voltage for the memory is reduced from 1.8 V for DDR2 to just 1.5 V for DDR3. This voltage reduction limits the power consumption and heat generation of DDR3 which makes it an ideal memory solution. ROG Exclusive Features
