Detailed Features

A Closer Look


Features

Socket
This motherboard features a Socket 775
design.

Chipset
The nforce 780i SLI motherboard is based on the NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI Northbridge chipset. It supports Intel Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme, Pentium Extreme, Pentium D and Pentium 4 LGA775 Processors, with Hyper-Threading Technology and 533/800/1066/1333MHz Front Side Bus support.

Memory Expansion
The nforce 780i SLI provides 4 DIMM sockets using Dual Channel 240-pin DDR2 with a total capacity of up to 8GB-64bit. You can install DDR2 667/800/1066/1200MHz SLI-Ready Memory.

PCI Express 2.0 Support
PCI Express Base 2.0 specification doubles the interconnect bit rate from 2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s in a seamless and compatible manner. The performance boost to 5 GT/s is by far the most important feature of the PCI Express 2.0 specifications. It effectively increases the aggregate bandwidth of a 16-lane link to approximately 16 GB/s. The higher bandwidth will allow product designers to implement narrower interconnect links to achieve high performance.

IDE
The nforce 780i SLI includes built in IDE facilities that support Ultra DMA 133.
Audio
The nforce 780i SLI comes with an Azalia High Definition audio codec which supports high quality 8-channel audio.

Serial ATA Support
The nforce 780i SLI supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA interfaces. Doubles bus bandwidth which provides blazingly high disk performance, up to 3.0Gb/s, with RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 and JBOD solutions.

REVIEW BY: Mean Dean Reviewed  Sep 21, 2008
I have Had this combo for a few months. And i love it. I have overclocked the cpu to 3.5 and this has more room to go. Love the bio settings.... :)

REVIEW BY: vimukto Reviewed  Aug 20, 2008
got this combo yesterday and very happy with the purchase!!! still few issues around heat and ff error that appears on the board- known issue with this mobo i guess. overroll, great combo and highly recomended. if you want to overclock with the hight temps, get a full tower case with good ventilation- that's my next step.

REVIEW BY:  Reviewed  Aug 13, 2008
This a great bundle for the money. I have connected to the MB 2-500gb HDDs in a raid 1 config, a 9800 GTX vid, 4gb OCZ SLI ready memory, Vista 64 ulti, and a Blu-ray player. Instructions were clear and helpful. I run my games at highest settings now. Haven't played with OC yet but I am getting there next. Note: if you are going to use RAID, and why wouldn't you - after setting up RAID in the BIOS, save and restart, then you have to go into a separate RAID menu to configure which RAID you want and which of the disks are bootable. Needs to be done before OS can see the drives and install to them.

REVIEW BY: Priller Reviewed  Aug 09, 2008
I am using this with a GTX280, Corsair Dominator 2 gig, Auzentech Prelude XF-I 7.1, Air Cooled, Vista Ulti 64bit. I am learning so there is a lot I still have figure out. I am slightly overclocked to 2.95 (I'm a newb) by just messing with the FSB after unlinking the ram. Everything fired right up out of the box! I suggest checking with manufacturer for compatability of items www.evga.com as well as the compenent manufacturers. This is my first build and I can't be happier that I put together a computor! Now I have to figure out OC and tweaking of systems! System idels around low 30c's and durring Prime95 run maxes out at 43c's with my small OC. The MCP in Bios does run at around 63c which seems to be normal as far as I can tell. TigerDirect was fast on the shipping and I like the customer service as well as protection.

PCI EXPRESS 2.0

PCI Express 2.0 - High End Graphics Have Arrived
PCI Express Base 2.0 specification doubles the interconnect bit rate from 2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s in a seamless and compatible manner. The performance boost to 5 GT/s is by far the most important feature of the PCI Express 2.0 specifications. It effectively increases the aggregate bandwidth of a 16-lane link to approximately 16 GB/s. The higher bandwidth will allow product designers to implement narrower interconnect links to achieve high performance while reducing cost.

A number of optimizations and improvements have been made to the protocol and software layers of the PCI Express architecture in the PCI Express Base 2.0 specification. These include:

  • Dynamic link speed management – to control the speed at which the link is operating
  • Link bandwidth notification – to notify software (operating system, device drivers, etc) of changes in link speed and width
  • Capability structure expansion – to expand the control registers to better manage devices, slots and the interconnect
  • Access control services – optional controls to manage peer-peer transactions
  • Completion timeout control – to define a required disable mechanism plus related optional enhancements
  • Function-level reset – optional mechanism to reset functions within a device
  • Power limit redefinition – to redefine slot power limit values to accommodate devices that consume higher power

SLI MCPs | Motherboards
To enable NVIDIA SLI technology in your PC, you'll need an SLI-Ready certified motherboard with an nForce SLI MCP and two physical PCI Express x16 slots. NVIDIA motherboard partners offer nForce SLI motherboards for both AMD and Intel CPUs.

What is SLI Technology?
NVIDIA® SLI™ technology is a revolutionary platform innovation that allows you to intelligently scale graphics performance by combining multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system with an NVIDIA nForce® SLI media and communications processor (MCP).

How Does SLI Technology Work?
Using proprietary software algorithms and dedicated scalability logic in each NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU) and MCP, NVIDIA SLI technology delivers up to twice the performance of a single graphics solution.

Note:

  • The NVIDIA SLI connector is not used with some mainstream graphics cards.
  • 3-way SLI motherboards must have 3 PCI-E x16 slots.
NVIDIA SLI-Ready MCPs:
  • NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI
  • NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI
  • NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI for INTEL
