Introduction of nForce4Motherboards

1-1 Motherboard Features

Motherboards based on NVIDIA nForce4 single chip technology support the

innovative 64-bit AMD Athlon64 FX and dual core multi-tasking Athlon64 X2

processors with HyperTransport Technology. The SLI version of the motherboard

series delivers leading-edge performance with both of the benefits from 64-bit

multi-tasking dual core AMD processors and NVIDIA Scalable Link Interface

(SLI) Technology with the latest Dual PCI-Express for NVIDIA Dual Graphic

Processing Unit ready platform. Utilizing the 64-bit multi-tasking socket 939

solution and the dual channel PC3200 DDR memory size expandable to 4.0GB,

this motherboard series meets the demands of computing in the future.

These motherboards carry the advanced NVIDIA nForce4 single chip with

1000 MHz HyperTransport system bus of data transferring and provided with

133MHz / 166MHz / 200MHz memory clock frequency for DDR266/DDR333/

DDR400 DDR Module with dual channel capability. The NVIDIA nForce4 single

chipset offers ULTRA ATA 133 and Serial ATA RAID 0, 1, 0+1 functions to

accelerate hard disk drives and guarantee data security without failure in

advanced computing applications.

The motherboard provides Gigabit LAN by using the NVIDIA Giga-LAN

controller which supports 10M/100M/1Gbps data transfer rate and full duplex or

half duplex transportation. The embedded 8-channel AC’97 CODEC is fully

compatible with Sound Blaster ProTM standards and offers you home cinema

quality and complete software compatibility.

Colorful and intuitional placement design of three PCI-Express graphics slots (Two

symmetrical PCI-Express x16 [x8 effective speed] graphics slots in yellow

deliver up to 2Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which is

fully compatible with the latest NVIDIA SLI Technology [this applies to the SLI

version of the motherboard only]). One PCI-Express x16 graphics slot offers

4Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which gets 3.5 times

more bandwidth than AGP 8X and up to 8Gbyte/sec concurrent bandwidth at

full speed to guarantee full operational multi-GPU graphics power and avoid

any possible SLI hardware installation error (SLI version only). One PCI-

Express x1 I/O slot offers 512Mbyte/sec concurrently, over 3.5 times more

bandwidth than PCI at 133Mbyte/sec, tackling the most demanding multimedia

tasks.

The embedded USB controller has the capability of supporting up to 10 USB

2.0 ports, delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth each.

1-1.1 Special Features of the Motherboard

CPU Thermal Throttling Technology

To prevent increasing heat from damaging the CPU or causing accidental

shutdown while under high workloads, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology

will force the CPU to enter an idle mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to

preset CPU operating temperatures in the BIOS (from 40 to 90). When the

system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset value, the

CPU operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset idle percentage

allowing the processor to cool down. When in throttling mode, a beeper sound

can be optionally selected to indicate it has reduced the CPU performance. (for

detailed settings, please read the BIOS PDF located on the CD)

Debug Port

The embedded Hardware Debug Port offers you a real-time visual system for

monitoring of your hardware. The embedded Debug Port will turn you into a

well trained hardware professional, allowing you to diagnose many hardware

issues. (for details please refer to Appendix A)

CPU Smart Fan

It’s never been a good idea to improve system performance by sacrificing

acoustics. The CPU Smart Fan Noise Management System is the answer to

control those noise levels. The system will automatically increase the fan speed

when the CPU operating load is high, and after the CPU returns to normal

operating condition, the system will slow the fan speed down to allow for a

silent operating environment.

CPU Vcore 7-Shift

The CPU voltage can be adjusted up by 7 steps allowing precise overclocking

for extra computing performance. (For detailed settings, please read the BIOS

PDF located on the CD)
