14 DAY TRIAL // Only an hour after Elitegroup Computer Systems Inc. (ECS) has launched its latest ATI CrossFire Express 3200 Chipset enabled motherboard, the company announced that it will release another motherboard developed in collaboration with the famous manufacturer Nvidia.
ECS's latest AM2 ATX motherboard supports the new AM2 CPUs and is based on Nvidia's nForce 590 SLI chipset, offering all users, especially gamers, an advanced PCI-Express GPU support.
The KN3 SLI2 is also a component of Nvidia's "Tritium" platform development, which promises the highest PC platform performance. As Tritium MCPs, Tritium GPUs and Tritium DIMMS are perfectly coordinated in order to offer enthusiasts the perfect overclocking ability required, the gamers, and not only, will benefit from an enhanced stability and an straightforward configuration.
As the previous motherboard, the KN3 SLI2 supports every version of the processors recently released by AMD, including Athlon FX, Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core, Athlon 64 and Sempron CPUs (every one of them are socket AM2), and the latest AM2 Energy Efficient microprocessors.
Also, this Nvidia based motherboard - the KN3 SLI2 - supports all AMD Live! digital media platform requirements, providing in this way a complete multimedia control to produce and bring digital media content to all family members.
KN3 SLI2 has an 8-channel audio codec for great HD audio, and several I/O and storage features. The manufacturer stated that KN3 SLI2 has the capability to become the ultimate gaming platform, an advanced computing platform, or a digital media center because of its powerful video and graphics support and scalable processors' choices.
As it was developed especially for gamers, KN3 SLI2 features a superior overclocking ability that is made easier by ECS' I.O.C. (Instant Overclocking Controller) with the aim of enabling the system to automatically boost frequency in order to enhance overall performance by sharply detecting changes in CPU loads. In this way, the gamers can adjust the system's performance in order to match their needs, making overclocking easier and more secure.
Other KN3 SLI2 features include a Realtek ALC883 audio codec for 8-channel HD audio and a host of I/Os including 6 x SATAII 3.0 Gb/s, 8 x USB 2.0, Dual Gb Ethernet, RAID 5 support, 2 x S/PDIF (Optical and Coaxial), and 2 x 1394a.
