NVIDIA Real X16 SLI Support NVIDIA nForce SLI MCP-based platforms support two NVIDIA SLI-

ready x16 graphics cards and dramatically scale gaming and graphics performance by allowing two graphics cards to be run in parallel. Only supported in the NVIDIA nForce SLI MCPs.

NVIDIA nTune Performance Application Enables the easiest, safest, and highest performing overclocking

available for NVIDIA nForce-based PCs. Performance wizards allow automatic tuning for the best performance or the quietest operation. Previously known as the NVIDIA System Utility.

NVIDIA LinkBoost™ technology: automatically delivers additional GPU and MCP bandwidth*

Certified higher performance Automatically activated Easier to spec and build your system

FeaturesTrue SLI x16 Graphics and Game platforms


NVIDIA MediaShield Storage NVIDIA MediaShield Storage technology implements standard RAID

0/1/5 and RAID 0+1 techniques to maximize storage assets. Six drives in one volume for bigger and faster RAID

Faster drive throughput More capacity and protection for media files

Supports SATAII 3Gb/s with RAID controller SIL 3132 SiI 3132™ is a single-chip, one-lane PCI Express to 2-port Serial

ATA (SATA) II host controller that brings server-class features to the desktop.

The SiI 3132 also supports all Serial ATA II features, including 3.0 Gbps SATA II transfer speeds, Native Command Queuing, port multipliers with FIS-based switching, programmable output signal swing strengths for longer external cables or extended back planes, hot plugging, enclosure management and ATAPI device support.

SATAII 3Gb/s drives include full support for native and tagged command queuing, and for hot plug. Native command queuing provides higher disk performance in a multi-threaded environment by performing out-of-order disk accesses.

FeaturesCommunications


FeaturesCommunications: Dual GbE LAN with Teaming Definition of teaming

IEEE802.3ad Teaming is also “Link Aggregation” which is to set a more

than one port to form a group and treat it as “a” high bandwidth port

Benefits Increased bandwidth and availability Linearly incremental bandwidth Load sharing Automatic configuration Rapid configuration and reconfiguration Support of existing IEEE802.3 MAC clients Backwards compatibility with aggregation-unaware devices No change to IEEE 802.3 frame format


FeaturesCommunications: Dual GbE LAN with Teaming

RLMT (Redundant Link Management Technology) Dual Link Ethernet Controllers provide two ports. Part of each

driver is the Marvell® Redundant Link Management Technology (RLMT), which monitors the status of the ports. If the link of the active port fails, RLMT switches immediately to the standby link.

The virtual link is maintained as long as at least one ‘physical’ link is up. In advanced modes, RLMT additionally monitors the network path between the two ports and is able to detect and report network segmentation. Being part of the driver, this function is independent of the operating system.

Features and AdvantagesPower Supply Module: 5 phase Digital PWM

Digital PWM provides stable voltage for CPU and avoids damage for capacitors, improves the cooling properties of the motherboard. In fact, it also improves the stability of the voltage supply to the processor, meaning that there will are improvements in vCore stability while over-clocking.

Each signal phase of PWM provides 30A; 5 phase PWM, totally provides 150A for CPU, which fully supports extreme over-clocking purpose.


PWM in depth


BenefitsSolid capacitors around 5 phase Digital PWM

Low ESR Solid Capacitors No explosion

Capacitors Explosion makes systems working in unstable condition. Solid Capacitors avoid this issue

Traditional Capacitors : 65℃ 32000hrs (3.6Years) Low ESR Solid Capacitors : 65℃ 200000hrs

(22Years) Longer utility cycle

New system consume more power and generate more heat. Low ESR solid capacitors can work in such tough environment for longer


Features and Benefits100% Copper-made Heat sink + Magnetic-Levitated Fan

LANParty equips with Copper-made heat sink & ML Fan

Entire weight of rotor is completely attracted by magnetic force in any mounted position, keeping the motor rotating evenly at a fixed point and keeping a consistent distance from inner surface of the bearing. No more traditional rubs and noise occur

Oil ring, washer, and lubricant no longer used in this structure. Hence no more oil leakage or stuck rotor problem

It allows an operating temperature higher than 70℃ MTBF is 60,000 hours when working under 70℃


Features and BenefitsLayers PCB + 100% Japanese Capacitors

6-layer PCB provides rock solid stability Eliminates unwanted ground noises Avoid signals crosstalk

High quality, 100% Japanese capacitors are essential in providing best overclockability

Longer MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)


FeaturesBIOS: Genie BIOS
