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 motherboard 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.

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.

Two 8X PCI-Express graphics slots deliver up to 2Gbyte/sec data transfer rate

at each relative direction which is fully compatible with the latest NVIDIA SLI

Technology. And, one PCI-Express x16 slot offers full function at speeds of up

to 4Gbyte/sec.

The embedded USB controller has the capability of supporting up to 8 USB 2.0

ports, delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth each.

And the embedded Firewire controller allows connection and use of IEE1394

compliant devices.

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)
