Product Information
Combine high performance with room to grow with the nForce 780i SLI motherboard by EVGA. Also known as "The Black Pearl," this Intel-based motherboard is built for gaming enthusiasts and features support for NVIDIA 3-way SLI to push your graphics processing to the next level. Built with the ATX form factor for Intel-based processors (9xx chipset), this motherboard offers HD audio, a wealth of expansion slots, memory slots, many USB ports, and other connectors so you can design your hardware to your specs, making the EVGA nForce 780i SLI motherboard a solid pick for gaming and just about any other application. This board supports the Windows Vista and Windows XP operating systems, each at both 32 and 64 bit, making it a versatile pick for many software applications. For instance, most PC games run on Windows, which means this is a great Intel motherboard for gaming enthusiasts. The EVGA nForce 780i SLI motherboard uses the ATX form factor, which is a very common build configuration, putting many customization options at your fingertips. This motherboard uses the LGA775 socket and can support many Intel CPUs from the 9xx chipset, including Core 2 Extreme, Intel Core 2 Quad, Intel Core 2 Duo, and some Pentium CPUs. Those Intel processors come with plenty of power (many feature multi-core designs with multiple CPUs) and are quite common, so integrating that technology is much easier. The EVGA nForce 780i SLI motherboard supports DDR2 RAM with a max memory size of 8GB up to 1200 MHz. Adding memory up to the max will help fuel which can fuel the latest operation system, 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. For gamers, this EVGA board combines that RAM power with NVIDIA SLI technology; the board contains three x16 PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 slots, which allows the board to run three graphics cards in parallel using SLI tech, which translates to superior graphics performance. This motherboard is built for flexible storage expansion and contains 6 SATA II connectors, which operate at 300 Mbps for quick transfer and offer RAID capability using NVIDIA MediaShield RAID (0, 1, 0+1, 5, and JBOD configurations). For expansion, the board includes 2 PCI slots, 1 PCIe x1 slot, and 3 PCIe x16 graphics slots. Also included are 10 USB 2.0 ports (six rear panel and four onboard USB headers). As USB is one of the most common connections for peripheral devices, whether you’re buying new USB devices or using your existing accessories with this motherboard, setup will be simple, and with 10 ports, you’ll have a great deal of flexibility. The dual LAN interface supports 10/100/1000 Mbit/sec Ethernet. The Azalia High Definition audio supports 7.1 channel sound for immersive gaming, and it supports S/PDIF output. The power required to run the board will depend on how many GPUs are installed so be sure your power supplies cover the CPUs and the GPUs you install. With SLI capabilities for graphics, multi-core processor support, and HD audio, the EVGA nForce 780i SLI motherboard is a deluxe pick to create your desktop entertainment hub and workstation.Product Identifiers
