EVGA X79 Dark (150-SE-E789-K2) LGA 2011 Intel X79 USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

Support for up to 64GB of system memory, with an eight-DIMM in a four-channel configuration on EVGA X79 Dark motherboards, provides the capacity for users to make full use of modern 64-bit software. It's ideal for rendering detailed images or manipulating large files, without the bottlenecks of conventional storage.

A right-angled, 24-pin power connector gives you improved airflow and optimized cable management. The optimal PCI-E layout gives you perfect airflow no matter what graphics configuration you are running, and an angled, 6-pin aux PCI-E power connector keeps the motherboard clear of any cables that may block airflow. It also looks awesome!

The EVGA X79 Dark is equipped with a single PCI-express x4 slot and five PCI-express 3.0 x16 slots, supporting up to four-way SLI multi-GPU settings.

The latest PCI Express bus standard delivers improved encoding for twice the performance of current PCIe 2.0. Total bandwidth for a x16 link reaches a maximum of 32GBps, double the 16GBps of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). PCIe 3.0 provides users unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience and seamless transition offered by the complete backward compatibility of PCI-e 1.0 and PCI-e 2.0 devices. It is a must-have feature for PC users who want the latest technology to improve their graphics performance.

The new GUI BIOS from EVGA is focused on functionality. It can be navigated with a mouse or keyboard, and is set to the proper aspect ratio for your Widescreen monitor. It's easy to share BIOS images, or take a screenshot and save it for later reference! All important information – such as vital temperatures, CPU frequency, and memory information – is right at the top of the BIOS, and may be viewed at all times.
