MODEL- A8N5X
VENDOR- ASUS
FEATURES- nVIDIA nForce 4 Socket 939 Motherboard
The ASUS A8N5X offers the best value for a AMD based performance
motherboard. The onboard NVIDIA nForce 4 Chipset supports up to
2000MT/s system, which allows you to take full advantage of
powerful 939 CPU. In addition, use ASUS unique AI NOS, Precision
Tweaker, and PEG Link to further enhance your thrill for
performance!
* Supports AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64FX/Athlon 64
A8N5X supports AMD 939-pin Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64 processors with
1MB/512KB L2 cache which is based on 64-bit architecture. It features
2000/1600 MT/s HyperTransport Bus and dual-channel un-buffered DDR400
memory support.
* NVIDIA nForce4
NVIDIA nForce4 deliver unmatched PC security and unbelievable PC
performance. Get it all: PCI Express for AMD platforms and cutting-edge
features including SATA and NVIDIA nForce Security -- protection from
spyware and hackers. NVIDIA nForce4 ensure maximum PC performance while
futureproofing your PC for demands of tomorrow.
* PCI Express Architecture
PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace
the existing PCI. With a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than that of AGP
8X interface, PCI Express x16 bus performs much better in applications
such as 3D gaming. The PCI Express x1 interface creates new usages on
desktop PCs e.g., TV tuner, 1394b, and high-speed RAID systems.
* Precision Tweaker
Precision Tweaker is designed for serious overclockers. It offers ways
to raise system performance inch-by-inch and step-by-step to achieve
maximum performance! This is about getting the most out of your machine,
and taking pride in your customized computer. Precision Tweaker provides
overclocking options for all major parts of the system: CPU, Memory,
PCI-Express, and Front Side Bus.
- vDIMM
Take control of how much power is going into the memory modules. ASUS
gives you 9-step voltage control to the DIMM.
- vCore
Find out "exactly" how much power your CPU needs. Fine-tune it with
0.0125 volts at a time!
- PCI-Express Frequency
Explore the frequency options of your PCI-Express graphics card!
- SFS
SFS (Stepless Frequency Selection) allow FSB tuning from 200MHz up to
400MHz at 1MHz increments!
* AI NOS
Boost performance when you need it the most!
Applications such as 3D games and video editing demand a huge chunk of
system resource.
Inject "nitrous oxide" into your CPU! The patented AI NOS (Non-delay
Overclocking System) technology intelligently detects system load and
automatically boosts performance for the most demanding tasks. Unlike
other dynamic overclocking techniques, AI NOS reacts much faster to
satisfy your unending need for speeds.
* PEG Link
PEG (PCI-Express Graphics) Link lets you to raise GPU and VGA memory
throughput via the motherboard BIOS the same way system bus and memory
bus are tweaked. ASUS engineers carefully fine-tuned the parameters for
PCI-Express cards to provide system stability during high-speed graphics
operation. Furthermore, with two PCI-Express slots, the A8N-SLI is able
to activate PEG Link on both graphics
* AI NET2
ASUS AI NET2 remotely detects cable connection the second you turn on
the system, and any faulty connections are reported back up to 100
meters at 1 meter accuracy.
* NV Firewall
NV Firewall provides professional-grade traffic inspection capabilities,
instanton protection, advanced management features and is easy to use
and setup via a user friendly wizard.
* AI Audio (8-channel Audio)
A8N5X has eight channels of audio output with Coaxial and optical
S/PDIF connector designed to maximize your auditory experience. AI Audio
also provides "Jack Sensing" and "UAJ" functions. "Jack Sensing"
automatically detects and notifies user of any inappropriate connection.
"UAJ" function enables both input and output functions each jacks, thus
eliminates the confusion of Line-in, Line-out and Mic jacks once and for
all!
* ASUS Q-Fan
ASUS Q-Fan technology intelligently adjusts both CPU fan and chassis fan
speeds according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool and efficient
operation.
* Universal PCI-E Slot
The ASUS Universal PCI-E Slot gives the users freedom and flexibility on
the utilization of the PCI-E interface. With Universal PCI-E Slot, user
is able to plug in an additional PCI-E graphics card to have dual VGA on
a single motherboard! This special design supports up to 1GB/s in
bandwidth, and it will also take in most of the PCI-E devices out there!
* Max. 10 USB 2.0 ports supports
USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity standard for next generation
components and peripherals.
Backwards compatible with current USB 1.1 peripherals, USB 2.0 delivers
transfer speeds up to 40 times faster at 480Mb/s, for easy connectivity
and ultra-fast data transfers.
* Multi-language BIOS
The multi-language BIOS allows you to select the language of your choice
from the available options. The localized BIOS setup menu helps you
configure your system easier and faster.
* ASUS CrashFree BIOS2
The CrashFree BIOS2 feature now includes the BIOS auto-recovery function
in a support CD.
Users can reboot their system through the support CD when a bootable
disk is not available, and go through the simple BIOS auto-recovery
process. ASUS motherboards now enable users to enjoy this protection
feature without the need to pay for an optional ROM.
* S/PDIF-out on Back I/O Port
This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home
theater audio systems via an optical or coaxial S/PDIF-out (SONY-PHILIPS
Digital Interface) jack. It allows to transfer digital audio without
converting to analog format and keeps the best signal quality.
