MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3)

One of the historically first motherboards equipped with PCI Express 30!PCI Express 3generation compared to the previous generation, the 2 times fast data transfer, so now to reach 16linkovém slot bandwidth 32GB/sPCI Express 30 is backward compatible expansion cards of previous generations, but its advantages will feel with the advent of PCI Express 30 cards and processors from the upcoming generation of Intel Ivy Bridge, which already for this interface will have native support.

MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3) falls into the category of mainstream higher, which confirms her equipment augmented by standard connectors as FireWire or eSATA and dual network card.Vídaným rare feature is also optional 6-pin PCI Express connector panels for energy stability in multi-GPU connection.The board uses currently the highest Intel Z68 chipset, which combines the advantages of already well-established chipset Intel H67 and P67.This is especially the possibility to use the integrated graphics chip in the Intel Sandy Bridge processors and better control over clocking the CPU, DDR3 memory and GPU, including the possibility to tune consumption limits and maximum current.The chipset also related to support for two completely new and very useful technology LucidLogix Virtu and Intel SRT (Smart Response Technology).

The added value of a specific model is in high quality and extremely durable Military Class II components, a unique technology for overclocking in one second using a hardware button OC Genie II, THX TruStudio PRO certification for high-fidelity sound reproduction technologies APS (Active Phase Switching) conducive to energy saving and alternative operating system Wink thirdHardcore gamers also deliver support for parallel connection of two graphics cards from both manufacturers AMD and NVIDIA Within the frame support CrossFireX and SLI technologies.Of course there is the presence of innovative UEFI BIOS that MSI named ClickBIOS II.
