Support Intel LGA 1366 for Core i7 Processors

The Top-of-the-range Black Series X58B-A "Nehalem" Motherboard with LGA1366 socket support for Intel's all-new "Core-i7" processors, which has a QPI bus speed of 6.4GT/sec; as well as 6x Tri-channel DDR3 DIMM slots which support up to 24GB of DDR3 memory. The 2x16 PCI Express 2.0 slots bring together for the first time the dual graphics technologies of ATI CrossFire and Nvidia SLI officially on one motherboard. Its onboard 6x SATA II ports equipped with Intel Matrix Technology and RAID 0, 0+1, & 5 compatibility plus the 2x E-SATA connectors offer plenty of storage capabilities. The rear port has a unique clear-CMOS button for convenience as well as a single IEEE 1394 port and 6x USB ports. The MOSFETS and chipsets are cooled by the highly specialised ECS QoolTechTM II cooling system and Solid State Capacitors are found throughout the board which add both durability and longevity. In addition the X58B-A features Dual GigaLAN and Realtek 8CH HD Audio and OC tweaking is available through the M.I.B Overclocking utility essential for enthusiasts.This brings your choices of ultimate high-end motherboards down to one.
  ECS QoolTechTM II Technology

The specifically designed cooling system provides excellent cooling efficiency that rapidly reduces the heat generated by chipsets and the PWM. With ECS QoolTechTM II Technology, the system is capable to stay in low temperature easily.
 
 

Motherboard Intelligent BIOS (M.I.B.)

The exclusive tweaking utility integrates all options for overclocking in a single page in the BIOS such as CPU frequency, memory settings, additional voltage control, and so on. This innovative design provides great convenience for users to enhance the system performance.
 
 

Available for CrossFireX™ and SLI™

The most famous technologies of multi-graphics processing, ATI CrossFireX™ and NVIDIA® SLI™ Technology, are now both supported which allows users to obtain better graphics performance simply by installing dual ATI/ NVIDIA GPU based graphics cards.
 
  6 DIMM Slots for Triple-channel DDR3

With 6 DIMM slots supporting up to 24GB memory and the support for triple-channel DDR3 memory which makes the amazing memory bandwidth of 32GB/s achievable, users would get tremendous benefits in running those memory intensive applications.
 
  VRD (Voltage Regulator Down) 11.1 Compliant

Voltage Regulator Down (VRD) 11.1 is the next generation power standard that provides better energy efficiency for Intel® processors by advanced power supplying. The energy can be greatly saved during idle operation or other low load conditions.
 
  QuickPath Interconnect (QPI)

Providing high-speed connections among microprocessors, memory, and the I/O hub, Intel® QuickPath Architecture brings more advantages and better scalability to users than previous FSB architecture can do.
