ASUS Introduces New SLI Motherboards
In accordance to the release of Nvidia's nForce 4 SLI X16 chipset, ASUS today introduced the A8N32-SLI Deluxe and P5N32-SLI Deluxe motherboards, which support dual PCI Express x16 slots running at full speed.
ASUS proudly announces the A8N32-SLI Deluxe and P5N32-SLI Deluxe motherboards , which are
the most powerful motherboards in our product line", said Joe Hsieh, Director of ASUS
Motherboard Business. "The obstacle during development is to include a reliable thermal
solutions. With ASUS' innovative designs to bring out the real potential of Nvidia's latest
chipsets, gamers can enjoy faster graphics and higher video quality.
High-performance GPU is one of the hottest components in a computer system. SLI motherboards, with two graphics cards, require the best heat dissipation designs.
One of the reliable thermal solutions is Stack Cool 2. Originally implemented on the Intel 955 and 945 chipset platforms, the A8N32-SLI Deluxe and P5N32-SLI are the first Nvidia-chipset based motherboards with this zero noise feature. Stack Cool 2 is a fan-less cooling design that effectively transfers heat generated by the critical components to the other side of the specially designed PCB (printed circuit board) for heat dissipation and significantly decreases component temperature.
The P5N32-SLI Deluxe further pushes Intel based motherboards well into the extreme gaming segment. The dual x16 SLI architecture provides scalability, and overclocking quality to ensure gaming enjoyment for Intel fans.
The A8N32-SLI Deluxe and P5N32-SLI Deluxe will be available in September. Below are their brief specifications.
