Brand New Design Optimized for AM3 CPU
CPU, Chipset and Graphics Features
AMD® Phenom™ II/ Athlon™ X4/ Athlon™ X3/ Athlon™ X2
processors (socket AM3)
 This
motherboard supports AMD® Socket AM3 multi-core processors with unique L3
cache and delivers better overclocking capabilities with less power
consumption. It features dual-channel DDR3 1333 memory support and
accelerates data transfer rate up to 5200MT/s via HyperTransport™ 3.0 based
system bus. This motherboard also supports AMD® CPUs in the new 45nm
manufacturing process.
SidePort Memory
This
motherboard features SidePort Memory, an individual onboard DDR3 memory
serving as memory buffer for integrated graphics. With low CPU usage, the
SidePort Memory provides integrated graphics acceleration and effectively
boosts graphics performance.
Dual-Channel DDR3 1600(O.C.)
The
motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of
1600(O.C.)/1333/1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the
latest operation system, 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications.
The dual-channel DDR3 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system
memory to boost system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak
bandwidths of up to 25.6 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.
Hybrid CrossFireX™ Support
 Boosted
Performance with onboard GPU and discrete graphics card
ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ technology is a unique hybrid multi-GPU technology.
It takes your gaming experience to the next level boosting PC performance by
enabling the chipset’s integrated graphics processor and a discrete GPU to
operate simultaneously with combined output for blisteringly-fast frame
rates unleashing the graphics performance
* Visit www.amd.com for the Hybrid CrossFireX selected GPUs.
AMD® 790GX / SB750
 AMD®
790GX / SB750 Chipset is designed to support up to 5200MT/s HyperTransport™
3.0 (HT3.0) interface speed and PCI Express™ 2.0 x 16 graphics. It is
optimized with AMD´s latest AM3 and multi-core CPUs to provide excellent
system performance and overclocking capabilities.
ATI CrossFireX™ Technology
ATI’s
CrossFireX™ boosts image quality along with rendering speed, eliminating the
need to scale down screen resolution to get high quality images. CrossFireX™
allows higher anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture
settings. Adjust your display configurations, experiment with the advanced
3D settings, and check the effects with a real-time 3D-rendered previews
within ATI Catalyst™ Control Center.
HDMI/DVI/RGB Support
Flexible
Graphics Alternatives
This motherboard supports multiple digital and analog display output
interfaces - HDMI, DVI, and D-Sub. With such diversity of display outputs,
you are able to choose and upgrade display devices freely.
ASUS Power Solutions
8+1 Phase Power Design
 To
fully unleash the next-generation AM3 CPU´s potential, the ASUS M4 Series
motherboards have adopted a brand new 8-phase VRM power design. It delivers
high power efficiency and supreme overclocking ability. Furthermore, high
quality power components can effectively lower system temperature to ensure
longer component lifespan. This series also features an extra 2 (or 1) phase
power dedicated to integrated memory/HT controller.
ASUS Anti-Surge Protection
 This
special design prevents expensive devices and the motherboard from damage
caused by power surges.
ASUS Overclocking Tools
TurboV
Feel
the adrenaline rush of real-time O.C. - now a reality with the ASUS TurboV.
This easy O.C. tool allows you to overclock without exiting or rebooting the
OS; and its user-friendly interface makes overclock with just a few clicks
away. Moreover, the ASUS OC profiles in TurboV provides the best O.C.
settings in different scenarios.
Precision Tweaker 2
Allows
the user to adjust the CPU voltage in 0.0125v steps and NB/DRAM voltage in
0.02v steps to finetune voltage to achieve the most precise setting for the
ultimate overclocking configuration.
Turbo Key
ASUS
Turbo Key allows the user to turn the PC power button into an overclocking
button. After the easy setup, Turbo Key can boost performances without
interrupting ongoing work or games - with just one touch!!
Other ASUS Features
100% High-quality Solid Conductive Polymer Capacitors! (VRM
5000hrs lifespan @105°C, 500,000hrs @65°C)
This
motherboard uses all high-quality conductive polymer capacitors onboard for
durability, improved lifespan, and enhanced thermal capacity.
ASUS Green Design
EPU
The
ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) provides total system power management by
detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in
real-time. It automatically provides the most appropriate power usage for
the CPU, VGA card, hard drives, and CPU/chassis fans- helping save power and
money!
Express Gate
Taking
only 5 seconds to bootup, Express Gate is the one-stop gateway to instant
fun! It´s a unique motherboard built-in OS. You can utilize the most popular
Instant Messengers (IM) like MSN, Skype, Google talk, QQ, and Yahoo!
Messenger to keep in touch with friends, or quickly check on the weather and
e-mails just before leaving your house. What´s more, the user-friendly
picture manager lets you view your pictures without entering Windows at
anytime!
*The actual boot time is subject to hardware configurations and product
models.
ASUS EZ DIY
Q- Shield
 The
specially designed ASUS Q-Shield does without the usual "fingers" - making
it convenient and easy to install. With better electric conductivity, it
ideally protects your motherboard against static electricity and shields it
against Electronic Magnetic Interference (EMI).
EZ Flash2
Simply update BIOS from a USB flash disk before entering the OS
EZ Flash is a user-friendly BIOS update utility. Simply press the
pre-defined hotkey to launch this tool and update BIOS from a floppy disk
before entering the OS.
Q-Connector
The
ASUS Q-Connector allows you to connect or disconnect chassis front panel
cables in one easy step with one complete module. This unique adapter
eliminates the trouble of plugging in one cable at a time, making connection
quick and accurate.
ASUS Quiet Thermal Solution
Stylish Heatsink
The
streamline-shaped heatsink features 0-dB thermal solution that offers users
a noiseless PC environment. Not only the beautifully curved fins upgrade the
visual enjoyment for motherboard users, but also the special Streamline
Airflow Guiding design lowers the temperature of the north bridge chipset
through high efficient heat-exchange. Combined with usability and
aesthetics, the ASUS streamline-shaped heat-sink will give users an
extremely silent and cooling experience with the elegant appearance!
ASUS Q-Fan 2
ASUS
Q-Fan2 technology intelligently adjusts both CPU fan and chassis fan speeds
according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool and efficient operation.
