There are also 3 PCI slots, 6 SATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors with support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5 and Intel's Matrix Storage technology.
Coming in an ATX form factor, the new X58-based motherboard designed by AsRock also provides users with a number of hardware monitor features, including CPU Temperature Sensing, Chassis Temperature Sensing, CPU/Chassis/NB/Power Fan Tachometer and CPU Quiet Fan. In addition, with the new Deluxe X58 from AsRock, users will be able to take advantage of the company's Instant Boot technology.
