Digi Power

By adopting digital Pulse-width modulation (PWM), the Fatal1ty X79 Professional can provide CPU Vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly. Compared to analog PWM, Digi Power can optimize the CPU power solution and provide a proper and stable Vcore for the processor.

PCIE 3.0 slots Support 4-Way

SLI CrossFireX

The board comes with 4 x PCI-E 3.0 slots supporting Nvidia® 4-Way SLI™ and AMD 4-Way CrossFireX™. PCI Express 3.0 slots maximize the bandwidth for the next-gen PCI Express 3.0 VGA cards, provide ultimate graphics performance.

, 4-Way

16+2 CPU Power Phase

To improve CPU power solution, this board is designed with the advanced 16+2 power phase design which signatures tough components and smooth power delivery to the CPU. The Fatal1ty X79 Professional Series offers unmatched overclocking capability and enhanced performance with the lowest temperatures for PC enthusiasts.

UEFI System Browser

The UEFI system browser can let you easily check your current system configuration in UEFI setup.

Fatal1ty Mouse Port

Fatal1ty Mouse Port is a customizable technology for PC gamers that is a part of F-Stream. After plugging the USB mouse into the Fatal1ty Mouse Port and running F-Stream, gamers can use Fatal1ty’s personal preferred mouse polling rate at 500 Hz. F-Stream also provides the flexibility for gamers to adjust the mouse polling rate from 125 Hz to 1000 Hz. This is helpful for professional gamers to experience smoother gameplay and faster response time to the mouse.

F-Stream

The Fatal1ty F-Stream tuning program is an all-in-1 software utility that supports overclocking and hardware tuning such as energy usage, H/W monitor, fan speed control , Fatal1ty Mouse Port Configuration and XFast RAM.

Premium Gold Caps

Premium Gold Caps are 100% Japan-made solid capacitors. They are sleek, high gloss caps with a premium gold coating representing long life and stable performance.

XMP 1.3 Support

XMP 1.3 provides more precise DRAM timing settings! Simply load XMP 1.3 profile in the BIOS to explore the maximum speed of your DDR3 memory. For unbelievably powerful overclocking without having to adjust the settings in BIOS manually, the rig builder should look no longer than the XMP

1.3 support!

Note: PCI-E 3.0 requires both a supporting CPU and motherboard at the same time. Currently Intel Socket 2011 Sandy Bridge-E Processor doesn’t support PCI-E 3.0, but this motherboard is already PCI-E

3.0 hardware ready. It depends on Intel CPU to enable PCI-E 3.0. Please check Intel website for information on future CPU updates and releases.
