A7N8X provides a revolutionary audio/video experience. |
With an array of advanced technology, the A7N8X provides a revolutionary audio/video experience. AGP Pro/8X provides cutting-edge graphics performance. In addition, Dual-Channel DDR400 significantly enhances overall system performance.
|
|
 FSB 400 Support
|
Starting from PCB version 2.0, The A7N8X motherboard supports Front Side Bus
(FSB) 400. The users of PCB 1.06 or earlier version can update their motherboard BIOS to get FSB 400 support. The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) version is located beside the motherboard name printed on the motherboard. PCB 2.0 BIOS version or later are not compatible with PCB 1.06 or earlier BIOS versions
|
|
AGP 8X Technology |
|
AGP8X (AGP 3.0) is the next generation VGA interface specification that enables enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12GB/s and twice as fast as AGP4X.
|
|
Dual-Channel DDR400 Support |
|
The 128-bit TwinBank DDR Memory architecture doubles the DDR 400 (PC3200) bandwidth. System bottlenecks are eliminated with balanced architecture and peak bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s.
|
|
ASUS C.O.P (CPU Overheating Protection) |
ASUS C.O.P (CPU Overheating Protection) is a hardware protection circuit that automatically shuts down the system power before temperatures go high enough to permanently damage your CPU.
|
| 6-Channel Audio |
The A7N8X uses an onboard Realtek ALC650 audio CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.
|
| USB 2.0 Support |
USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity standard for next generation components and peripherals. Backward 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.
|
| ASUS Q-Fan Technology |
Constant, high-pitched noise generated from heatsink fans are a thing of the past thanks to ASUS Q-Fan. The ASUS A7N8X with Q-Fan technology intelligently adjusts fan speeds according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool and efficient operation.
