Socket 775
Socket 775-based motherboards are designed to provide performance enhancements for Intel Core
processor-based systems, and it also expected to be the next-generation of platform innovations.
For more details about the Intel Core
®
processor, please visit the Intel Web site at http://www.Intel.com.
®
Chipset
The board is designed with Intel (965P+ICH8/ICH8R) chipset, offering gaming and hardware enthusiasts an
immediate upgrade path, packed with the newest features:
®
1) Intel
Fast Memory Access:
- Updated Memory Controller Hub (MCH) backbone architecture that improves system performance by
optimizing the use of available memory bandwidth and reducing the latency of the memory accesses.
®
2) Intel
Flex Memory Technology:
- Facilitates easier upgrades by allowing different memory size to be populated and remain in dual-channel
mode.
For more details about the Intel Chipset, please visit the Intel Web site at http://www.Intel.com.
DDR2
DDR2 ushers in the new era of DDR memory technology. DDR2 memory offers faster speed, higher data
bandwidth and lower power consumption over DDR.
GLI mode (Graphics Link Interface)
GLI mode allows two PCI-Express VGA cards to be installed on the same mainboard to enjoy dual display
experience. With this technology you can expand your desktop space across two monitors and have
independent display on each monitor.
PCI-Express (PCI-E)
Next generation peripheral interface to succeed to current PCI bus for the next decade. With smaller slot size
and 250MB/sec (PCI-E*1) or 4GB/sec(PCI-E*16) maximum transfer, PCI-Express overcomes PCI bus
bottleneck.
Dual Channel
Supports dual channel of DDR2 memory to give you twice the memory bandwidth for greater system
performance.
Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operation and status. This
includes CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.
GbE LAN
The new Gigabit Ethernet LAN allows data transmission at 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps), which runs 10
times faster than conventional 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LANs.
Serial ATA II
S-ATA II is the second generation SATA interface with double the transferring speed up to 300MB/sec. It
supports NCQ to provide faster reading speed for your storage devices.
USB2.0
A popular USB standard for plugging in peripherals with up to 480Mbps transfer speed while maintaining
backward compatibility with older USB1.1 device.
6ch (Optional)
Mainboard is equipped with 6 channel of audio to support Dolby Digital 5.1 audio for DVD-playback. The onboard
audio jacks can be configured for normal 2 channel mode or 6 channel mode.
Introduction
8ch (Optional)
Delivers 8 channel audio to bring you the latest in audio realism from DVD movies and games. Perfect for your
home theatre system.
Special Features
BIOS Features:
Ghost BIOS
No more worries if BIOS gets corrupted leaving your system unable to boot. The onboard backup BIOS will
rescue & recover main BIOS in just a few easy steps.
Thunder Probe
A hardware diagnostic software to monitor voltage, temperature and speed of a variety of hardware. It also
includes an ingenious built in fan control feature called Smart Fan.
Thunder Flash
A Windows based innovation tool to provide safe and easy BIOS rescue function, BIOS flash function and
personal start up screen.
Magic Health
Reports your system hardware status for every boot-up to help detect faults early. Monitor hardware status
including CPU temperature, CPU/Memory/Chipset voltage, fan RPM speed for chassis fan, CPU fan & Power
supply fan.
EZ-Boot
Simply press “ESC” to select your bootable device. No more hassle to search the BIOS menu, change and restart.
PowerBIOS
Supporting a full range of overclocking setting via BIOS. Various adjustable feature include CPU/Memory/
Chipset voltage tweaking.
H/W Features:
Post Port
An onboard LED-display trouble-shooting device, facilitating user to detect boot-up problems.
QuickSPDIF
On board SPDIF-out connector for quick connection to multi-channel speakers. Not only removes cable
cluttering but also delivers loss-free digital audio to let you enjoy DVD movies and games with crystal clear
sound.
EZ-Button
A handy power-on button located onboard to turn on/off the system easily, especially while debugging or
testing the system.
Thermo Stick (Optional)
Flexible thermometer to let you measure any temperature by software. Ideal for monitoring VGA card,
chipset or even disk drives temperatures.
EZ-IDE
Unlike previous Intel chipsets, the new ICH8 supports only SATA storage devices. To support older IDE HDD
or optical drives, this mainboard is designed with onboard SATA-to-IDE convertor, the SiI3811A. EZ-IDE works
even for CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives.
