The motherboard boasts PCI Express slots, a Gigabit LAN port, integrated audio, USB peripheral ports, and an eSATA port. Integrated drive controllers support up to 2 internal PATA and 5 internal SATA drives.

: • Supports AMD Socket AM3 multi-core processors, including Phenom II, Athlon II, and Sempron 100 processors, which feature L3 cache for superior overclocking capabilities, advanced 45nm manufacturing, and reduced power consumption

: • Also supports older AMD Phenom X4, Phenom X3, Athlon X2, Athlon, and Sempron processors that use the Socket AM2+ and AM2

: • The AMD 780G/SB700 chipset, which is optimized for multi-core CPUs, supports 5200MT/s HyperTransport 3.0 interface speed and PCI Express x16 graphics cards

: • Native support for overclocked DDR2 1200MHz memory, which supports a faster data transfer rate and increased bandwidth when compared to slower memory. The motherboard also supports 1066MHz, 800MHz, and 667MHz memory

: • ATI CrossFireX technology boosts image quality and rendering speed, and supports anti-aliasing, anisotropic filter, shading, and textures. You'll be able to adjust display configurations, tweak 3D settings, and check effects from the ATI Catalyst Control Center

: • Integrated HDMI outputs 1080p HD video to compatible displays, along with digital audio, and features full support for the HDCP copy protection protocol, ensuring your ability to watch full-resolution Blu-ray discs on HDCP-compliant displays

: • The ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) provides total system power management, detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time. It automatically provides appropriate power usage for the CP, VGA card, hard drives, and CPU/chassis fans, helping to save power and money

: • AI Nap system allows the computer to run at minimum power and noise while you are temporarily away, waking on a mouse click or key press

: • ASUS Turbo Key allows you to turn the PC power button into an overclocking button. Turbo Key can boost performance without interrupting your ongoing work or games, with a single touch
