This motherboard also supports AMD CPUs in the 45nm manufacturing process. AMD 870 chipset is designed to support up to 5200MT/s HyperTransport 3.0 (HT 3.0) interface speed and PCI Express 2.0 x16 graphics. It is optimized with AMD's latest AM3 and multi-core CPUs to provide excellent system performance and overclocking capabilities. ASUS Core Unlocker simplifies the activation of a latent AMD CPU - with just a press of a button. Enjoy an instant performance boost by simply unlocking the extra cores, without performing complicated BIOS changes. HyperTransport 3.0 support provides 2.6 times more bandwidth than HT1.0 that radically improves system efficiency for a smoother, faster computing environment. This motherboard supports DDR3 2000(O.C.) that provides faster data transfer rate and more bandwith to increase memory computing efficiency, enhancing system performance in 3D graphics and other memory demanding applications. This motherboard supports the latest PCIe 2.0 devices for double speed and bandwidth which enhances system performance. ATI's CrossFireX boosts image quality along with rendering speed, eliminating the need to scale down screen resolution to get high quality images. CrossFireX allows higher anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings. Adjust your display configurations, experiment with the advanced 3D settings, and check the effects with a real-time 3D-rendered previews within ATI Catalyst Control Center. To fully unleash the AM3 CPU's potential, the ASUS M4 Series motherboards have adopted a brand new 8-phase VRM power design. It delivers high power efficiency and supreme overclocking ability. Furthermore, high quality power components can effectively lower system temperature to ensure longer component lifespan. This series also features an extra 1 phase power dedicated to integrated memory/HT controller. Experience ultra-fast data transfers at 4.8Gb/s with USB 3.0-the latest connectivity standard.
