Asus SABERTOOTH X79 Socket 2011 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard

Product Description

ASUS has forged the TUF series to serve the needs of professionals who demand the sturdiest, most reliable gear. Superior components are subjected to military grade testing & guarantee reliability. Meanwhile, the exclusive Thermal Armor shield with smart heat funnelling & the Thermal Radar temperature detection assure that the TUF X79 motherboard remains stable under extensive loading via the most intelligent cooling possible. Creative engineering has also created a unique look that PC modders will be proud to show off. New generation Thermal Armor kicks cooling up a notch with dual integrated Turbo Engine Fans. This enhances the original TUF thermal design, helping direct heat away from MOS area components & out the case via the rear I/O section. Special heat pipes propel dissipation from critical components & make sure temps stay low across the board. The TUF Thermal Radar monitors temps in critical parts of the motherboard in real time, automatically adjusting fan speeds to sure the system maintains high stability without overheating. It consists of multiple sensors for various components on the motherboard, giving users the ability to monitor each one individually. The Thermal Radar automatically calculates ideal fan speeds based on different parameters selected by users for each component, keeping everything cooler & longer lasting. All new digital CPU & DRAM power controls work perfectly together to match digital power signal (SVID) requests from the CPU, with ultra-fast sensing & response efficiently delivering precision power. Accurate delivery reduces waste & provides more stable CPU Vcore voltages. With highly programmable digital controllers on board, users can adjust CPU & DRAM PWM voltages & frequencies for various scenarios with accurate input through UEFI BIOS tuning or the exclusive ASUS interface. This proprietary design provides ultra-precise voltage control for better efficiency, stability & performance. ASUS Unique Selling Points: " Ultimate COOL!"
