Asus M4N98TD EVO 980a SLI Socket AM3 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard

Product Description

This motherboard supports AMD AM3 multi-core processors with unique L3 cache & delivers better overclocking capabilities with less power consumption. It features dual-channel DDR3 1333 memory support & accelerates data transfer rate up to 5200MT/s via Hyper Transport 3.0 based system bus. This motherboard also supports AMD CPUs in the 45nm manufacturing process.NVIDIA n Force 980a SLI media & communications processors (MCPs) power the most feature rich, high performance motherboards for AMD AM3 CPUs. As a premier enthusiast platform, n Force 980a features SLI technology for maximum graphics performance & are specifically designed to harness the power of Ge Force GPUs for gaming & beyond.NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) makes use of the PCI Express 2.0 bus architectures increased bandwidth & features intelligent hardware & software that allows two GPUs to efficiently work together to deliver earth-shattering, scalable performance. For some applications, this translates into nearly double the performance! This motherboard supports the latest PCIe 2.0 devices for double speed & bandwidth which enhances system performance. Hyper Transport 3.0 technology provides 2.6 times more bandwidth than Hyper Transport 1.0, radically improving system efficiency to create a smoother, faster computing environment. This motherboard supports DDR3 2000 (O.C.) that provides faster data transfer rate & more bandwidth to increase memory computing efficiency, enhancing system performance in 3D graphics & other memory demanding applications. Hybrid SLI technology is a unique hybrid multi-GPU technology. It turbo-charges performance of discrete graphics cards when combined with the motherboard GPUs. To fully unleash the latest generation AM3 CPUs potential, the ASUS M4 Series motherboards have adopted an 8-phase VRM power design. It delivers high power efficiency & supreme overclocking ability. Furthermore, high quality power components can effectively lower system temperature to ensure longer component lifespan. This series also features an extra 1 phase power dedicated to integrated memory/HT controller to provide independent power to vital components. This motherboard uses all long-life capacitors onboard for durability, enhanced lifespan, & enhanced thermal capacity. The ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) provides total system power management by detecting current PC loadings & intelligently moderating power in real-time. It automatically provides the most appropriate power usage for the CPU, VGA card, hard drives, & CPU/chassis fans- helping save power & money!ASUS Core Unlocker simplifies the activation of a latent AMD CPU
