Asus has released the ASUS P5N72-T Premium motherboard. Equipped with the ASUS exclusive EPU technology for astounding energy savings, this high performance motherboard supports enhanced specifications of the front side bus and memory – able to reach an FSB of 1600MHz (O.C.) (originally 1333MHz) and 1200MHz(O.C.) for memory (originally 1066MHz).
The new ASUS exclusive EPU is the world’s first intelligent on-demand power saving microprocessor. This intelligent automatic energy saving chip is more stable than software-driven solutions, and provides users with superior performance while in energy-saving mode in comparison to other solutions. By utilizing an innovative power technology, the EPU is able to digitally monitor current CPU usage and automatically fine-tune the CPU power supply with improved VRM efficiency to suit any loading. The EPU is thus able to provide users with the ability to moderate power for higher performance if required, or save CPU power under low processing periods for the best possible performance with the least amount of power – achieving industry-leading power savings.
The P5N72-T Premium allows enthusiast gamers to fully immerse
themselves into their gaming worlds with support for NVIDIA's 3-Way SLI technology
in PCI-E 2.0 mode. With a 3-way SLI setup that consists of three high-end video
cards running with full x16 lanes to deliver smoother, scalable 3D performances,
higher 3DMark world records and smoother gameplay with higher frame rates and
better antialiasing will result for a better gaming experience.
On the audio side, the ROG SupremeFX II audio card delivers an
excellent high definition audio experience to gamers. Featuring unique virtual
surround audio innovations that work with gamers' headphones - this audio card allows
gamers to easily spot enemies in 3D environments during game play - allowing
them to fully enjoy their gaming environments. SupremeFX II also provides
gamers a special tool to emphasize human voices in games - helping make
dialogues clearer and more audible.
