CPU Parameter Recall continued on the next page. This chapter describes the motherboard features and the new technologies it supports.

Chapter summary 1. Users may install different memory size DIMMs into the two channels and enjoy dual-channel and single-channel functions at the same time. This new feature optimizes the use of available memory size.

The bootup speed depends on system configurations. Working together with AI Gear 3, this can help you attain the best possible power efficiency and energy savings up to Fanless Design - Pure Copper Heat-pipe The Heat Pipe design effectively directs the heat generated by the chipsets to the heatsink near the back IO ports, where it can be carried away by existing airflow from CPU fan or bundled optional fan.

The Heat Pipe design is the most reliable fanless thermal solution to date. Optional Fan for Water-Cooling or Passive-Cooling only The optional fan is specifically designed to provide sufficient airflow over the CPU power modules and chipset area when water-cooling or passive-cooling is utilized, ensuring effective heat dissipation for the entire system. AI Audio 2 AI Audio 2 creates a virtual center channel that expands the overall sound field without introducing a picket fencing effect.

Noise Filter This feature detects repetitive and stationary noises non-voice signals like computer fans, air conditioners, and other background noises then eliminates it in the incoming audio stream while recording. Chapter summary 2. This is a reminder that you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard component. DO NOT overtighten the screws!

Chapter 5: Software support Cons: Location of PCIe 16x slots could have been better thought out, but not a big deal. Its not the newest technology, but its a mature design with good support from Asus. Pros: This board is rock solid. Have had no issues at all with it. Overclocking could not be made any easier. Overall Review: As good of a buy as it was I also got a 50 dollar rebate from Asus. I have to say, that feature worked great.

I installed my Quad Core and it booted right up. Overall Review: Lucky for me I work at a place where I can get my hands on a few different processors. I went with 45nm 3. And crossfire dose work on this board. DDR 3 ram. No issues yet. Purchased for my first whack a a homebuild. If you are going to try and "stay ahead of the curve" without breaking the bank this will help you.

Nice to have the fast connectors on some of the ports as well front buttons, USBs, , etc. Cons: Newegg specs only list 24 pin needed for the mobo BUT it also needs an 8 pin as well instead of a 4. Pros: This is a nice board.
