Take your system building over the edge with the GA-EP45-Extreme from Gigabyte. This board has been designed to take advantage of the features in the 45nm Intel processors. The board has dynamic 6 gear power switching. As your system needs more power, it gets it, and when the power load goes down, so does the supplied power. This lets you have power when you need it, and save energy and money when you don't.
The board uses a hybrid silent-pipe system to keep the components cool. This mixture of air and water cooling effectively removes heat from the North- and South-bridges and the CPU area. This lets you tweak the system for maximum performance. To make sure there are no problems there are LED sets for over-voltage, temperature and over-clock levels.
You can get data on and off the system speedily and securely. The 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports can team together and give you twice the bandwidth. An Ultra-TPM module keeps your data secure with a 2048 bit encryption algorithm.
