DFI has long had a notable reputation within the overclocking community and their DK 790GX-M2RS motherboard continues the trend. Based on AMD's 790FX and SB750 chipsets, it is ready to host the latest AM2+ Phenom quad-core processors along with other Phenom and Athlon single- and multi-core CPUs using the AM2 or AM2+ socket type.
Up to 8GB of DDR2 1066 can be installed with dual channel and Hyper Transport 3.0 technology providing increased performance. AMD OverDrive offers further increases in performance tuning using Advanced Clock Calibration. A pair of PCI-Express 2.0 x16 cards can be mounted for cutting-edge graphic power with multiple configurations of Hybrid CrossFireX or CrossFire combinations with support for Microsoft DirectX 10 and DVI output.
Get eight channels of HD sound from the Realteck ALC885 audio codec with high-performance DAC's offering 106db dynamic range. Connect up to six SATA devices at 3Gb/s for high-speed data transfers as well as the option for multiple RAID configurations. Integrated Gigabit Ethernet LAN allows bottleneck-free connections to other network devices at broadband speeds and a half-dozen USB 2.0 ports along with an IEEE 1394 connector allow for nearly unlimited possibilities in connecting peripheral devices.

AMD K10 Processor SupportThe DFI LanParty DK 790GX-M2RS supports AM2 AMD processors including the Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64, Athlon FX and Sempron series as well as the latest AM2+ K10 AMD processors.
ATI Hybrid Graphics Technology SupportBased on ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU technology, ATI Hybrid Graphics allows you to combine the performance of the HD3300 integrated GPU with an applicable ATI Radeon graphics card to bring enhanced gaming performance, productivity and power efficiency.
SATA II with RAID SupportThe second generation SATA interface delivers up to 300MB/sec transfer speed, doubling that of the first generation Serial ATA. The on-board six SATA II ports support RAID 0, 1 and 0+1 for better performance, enhanced data security, and flexible capacity upgrades.
Gigabit Ethernet ConnectivityThe DFI LanParty DK 790GX-M2RS features a fast Gigabit network interface for high-speed LAN connections at up to 1000Mbps data transfer rates with advanced security features to ward off malicious attacks. Gigabit LAN is ideal for supercharged seamless streaming of Internet audio and video content.
PostPortThe PostPort onboard LED display shows error codes to help users detect boot-up problems. PosPort is a must-have debug tool for overclockers as it quickly pinpoints the component to work on.
IEEE 1394a SupportIEEE 1394 is a widely used standard of interface between personal computers and digital AV equipment. With IEEE 1394a you can easily connect digital devices such as a digital camcorder to the IEEE 1394a port provided on this motherboard for up to 400Mbps data transfer speeds.
