Description
M5A78L-M LX V2: DDR3 1866(O.C.) Motherboard with EPU power optimization on AM3+ Platform
- EPU - System Level Energy Saving!
- Turbo Key - Touch-n-Boost!
- Anti-surge - Protect Your Device!
- Core Unlocker - Unleash True Core Performance Intelligently!
This motherboard supports AMD AM3+ multi-core processors with unique L3 cache and delivers better overclocking capabilities with less power consumption. It features dual-channel DDR3 memory support and accelerates data transfer rate up to 5200MT/s via HyperTransport 3.0 based system bus. This motherboard also supports AMD CPUs in the new 32nm manufacturing process.
The new ASUS EPU - the world's first power saving engine, has been upgraded to a new 4-engine version, which provides total system power savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time. The EPU automatically provides the most appropriate power usage for the CPU, VGA card, hard drives and CPU cooler fan - helping save power and money.
