ASUS P5N-T Deluxe nForce 780i SLI Motherboard Product Details

Asus P5N-T Deluxe Motherboard
This cutting-edge motherboard takes full advantage of the NVIDIA™ nForce 780i SLI™ MCP (media communication processor) and supports the new ESA (Enthusiast System Architecture). ESA is a new open standard to allow real-time monitoring, communication and control of system thermal, electrical, acoustic and operating characteristics to achieve highest system performance. To deliver the most immersive PC gaming experience, the new P5N-T Deluxe motherboard provides native support for 3-way SLI technology or SLI in dual x16 mode, allowing flexible system configuration while ensuring blistering-fast graphics performance. Keeping energy consumption under check, the world’s first on-board EPU (Energy Processing Unit) digitally monitors CPU power usage and adjusts it with improved VRM efficiency to deliver up to 60% energy savings.

Top-Notch Graphics Performance for Gaming Enthusiasts
The NVIDIA 3-Way SLI technology takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express 2.0 bus and features intelligent hardware and software to allow three graphics cards to work together. The end result is gamers can experience earth-shattering yet scalable performance, over twice the performance over a single GPU system.


A Closer Look

Socket
This motherboard features a Socket 775
design.

Chipset
The P5N-T Deluxe motherboard is based on the NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI Northbridge chipset. It supports Intel Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme, Pentium Extreme Edition, Pentium D and Pentium 4 LGA775 Processors, with Hyper-Threading Technology and 800/1066/1333MHz Front Side Bus support.

Memory Expansion
The P5N-T Deluxe provides 4 DIMM sockets using Dual Channel 240-pin DDR2 with a total capacity of up to 8GB-64bit. You can install DDR2 667/800/1066MHz Memory.

PCI Express 2.0 Support
PCI Express Base 2.0 specification doubles the interconnect bit rate from 2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s in a seamless and compatible manner. The performance boost to 5 GT/s is by far the most important feature of the PCI Express 2.0 specifications. It effectively increases the aggregate bandwidth of a 16-lane link to approximately 16 GB/s. The higher bandwidth will allow product designers to implement narrower interconnect links to achieve high performance.

IDE
The P5N-T Deluxe includes built in IDE facilities that support Ultra DMA 66/100/133.
Audio
The P5N-T Deluxe comes with an ADI AD1988B audio codec which supports high quality 8-channel audio.

Serial ATA Support
The P5N-T Deluxe supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces. Doubles bus bandwidth which provides blazingly high disk performance, up to 3.0Gb/s, with RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 and JBOD solutions.

Touchy board

I had to return my first one it was radically unstable to the point that i couldn't even install the OS. After the''it takes forever'' RMA it ran fine but it is very picky on memory settings. Real hard to get my enthusiast memory to run. I had to contact my memory manufacturer to get specific settings for this board. Way too much work!!!!

Good Product

Use the drivers for Nvidia and you are done. A very good product. I installed it first with asus drivers and had problems; it crashed all the time. Also the audio, should be setup as AC97 in Bios to have the proper sound and eliminate the noises.
