X48 Chipset - Speed up to FSB 1333 and faster
With Intel®’s brand new enthusiast X48 chipset, you are prepared for the latest 45nm Core™ 2 Extreme/Quad/Duo processors with up to 1333 FSB and faster. A total of 8GB DDR3 1333 MHz system memory offers maximum expandability for this latest memory standard. Dual X16 PCI-E 2.0 offers highest bandwidth for hard core gaming.
New Generation Digital PWM - cool and stable for a longer life
With the new Smart-Slave technology the power switch frequency can effectively be quadrupled over conventional PWMs. Digital PWMs offer most precise and consistent voltage supply for reduced power consumption, less heat and increased components' life. New Generation Digital PWMs provide maximum accuracy for the best computing experience ever, noise interferences are avoided and energy efficiency is highly increased by realizing ideal resistance ratings (low RDS) during charge-discharge power switching.
New Generation PCI-E2.0 with CrossFireX Support - Supports new generation PCIE X16 for better graphics performance
- New generation PCI-E X16 2.0
- 2 x PCI-E X16 slots support latest dual graphics CrossFireX™ technologies, providing the ultimate visual experience.
DDR3 Memory 1333 DIMMS - Enhance the performance and save power consumption!
Support up to a maximum of 8 GB of dual channel DDR3 1333 memory in 4 DIMM slots. DDR3 saves up to 25% power consumption while scalability and performance are tremendously enhanced.
OC Force OTES Cooling - abit’s unique cooling technology
- New cooling technology offering the most comprehensive full-board cooling scheme for all mission-critical components.
Copper base and dual-heatpipe combo solution make the best cooling equipment.
HDMI Audio Ready Header -Supports HDMI Ready VGA card
A special 3-pin HDMI audio header provides High Definition S/PDIF audio to be connected with HDMI ready VGA cards, offering crisp HD multi-channel surround sound.
100% Low ESR Solid State Capacitors -For Best Stability
These advanced capacitors consist of conductive polymer and therefore offer a vast range of advantages such as higher temperature tolerance, higher ripple current and improved frequency characteristics over conventional electrolytic capacitors.
- 100% Solid State Capacitors
- Best CPU and Memory Performance and Overclockability
Onboard On/Off & Reset Buttons - Installation and testing is a snap
The onboard on/off and reset switches allow for testing your system before installing into your case
EZ CCMOS Buttonn - Get back on track with ease
Clear the CMOS directly from the back panel, using abit’s innovative new EZ button. If you are pushing your hardware to the extreme and experiment with risky settings, you now have an easy and convenient way to go back to safe ground.
2x e-SATA 3Gb/s - Fast and Flexible
e-SATA is a new standard for external storage devices. With an external data transfer rate of up to 3 Gb/s. No other external data transfer solution can compete in speed and ease of use.
Right Angle SATA Connectors - More convenience and ease
Keeping cables neatly arranged at the motherboard edges prevents any possible obstructions for add-on cards by the SATA-cables.
