The ideal home for an Intel 3.2 Ghz Core 2 Quad Extreme processor, Shuttle's SX48P2 Deluxe breaks new ground in performance. The mainboard houses an Intel X48 Express chipset and is ready to work with 45nm Core 2 multi-core processors as well as Pentium D and Dual-Core units. Up to 8GB of DDR3 memory can be installed with full dual channel support. A pair of high-speed PCI-Express x16 expansion cards can be installed to handle any graphic challenge as well as displays on four monitors. A third, Mini-PCIe slot supports Intel Turbo Memory.
User-friendly overclocking allows advanced users to adjust the frequency and voltage of the CPU and RAM for additional performance while the Shuttle Integrated Cooling Engine combines linear fan control and advanced heat-pipe technology to keep the processor operating at safe temperatures. Three independent cooling zones extend the life of your components. Four drives – a 5.25" and three 3.5" units – can be mounted with access through a pair of stealthed doors. A dual Gigabit LAN controller supports teaming mode. Experience top-end audio performance with 7.1 channel HD audio with Dolby Digital Live! and DTS connect. All of this is powered by an uncompromising 450 Watt 80 PLUS certified ATX mini PSU.
Intel Socket T (LGA 775)The Shuttle SX48P2E's motherboard supports Intel LGA 775 (Socket T) processors including the Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo and Pentium D series as well as the next generation Intel 45nm processors.
PCI-Express 2.0 with ATi CrossFireX TechnologyThe PCI-Express 2.0 interface provides twice the bandwidth of PCI-Express X16 to handle the data load of next-generation graphics cards while retaining compatibility with current PCI-Express cards. ATi CrossfireX technology enables two or more discrete graphics processors to work together for boosted system performance and a breakthrough gaming experience.
OASIS Cooling TechnologyShuttle’s OASIS heat pipe cooling system effectively dissipates heat from the North Bridge, South Bridge and MOSFET modules for extended system longevity and largely-reduced operation noise.
Gigabit Ethernet ConnectivityThe Shuttle SX48P2E features a fast Gigabit network interface for high-speed LAN connections at up to 1000Mb/s data transfer rates. Gigabit LAN is ideal for supercharged seamless streaming of Internet audio and video content.
IEEE 1394a SupportIEEE 1394 is a widely used standard of interface between personal computers and digital AV equipment. Easily connect digital devices such as a digital camcorder to the IEEE 1394a port on the Shuttle SX48P2E for up to 400Mbps data transfer speeds!
Built-in 80 PLUS Certified 450W PSUThe Shuttle SX48P2E is equipped with an 80 PLUS certified 450W power supply unit that delivers strong power to all system components and provides a high level of system reliability.
