1 Chapter 1 Introducing the Motherboard Introduction Thank you for choosing the X58B-A motherboard. This motherboard is a high performance, enhanced function motherboard designed to support the LGA1366 socket Intel® CoreTM i7 processor for high-end business or personal desktop markets. The motherboard incorporates the Intel X58 Northbridge (NB) and Intel ICH10R Southbridge (SB) chipsets. The Northbridge supports Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (Intel® QPI) of 4.8 GT/s to 6.4 GT/s supporting different routing lengths. The memory controller supports DDR3 memory DIMM frequencies of 1333/1066/800. It sup- ports six DDR3 sockets with up to maximum memory of 24 GB. DDR3 Maximum memory bandwidth of 32 GB/s in triple-channel symmetric mode assuming DDR3 1333 MHz. High resolution graphics via two PCI Express slots, intended for Graphics Interface, is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification revision 2.0. Additionally, one PCI Express x4 slot is supported, fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specificaiton revision 2.0 as well. It supports the NVIDIA® SLI® and ATI CrossFireTM Technology that allows you to install GPU graphics cards. The ICH10R Southbridge on this motherboard supports one PCI slot which is PCI v2.3 compliant. In addition, two PCI Express x1 slot is supported, fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification revision 1.1. It implements an EHCI compliant interface that provides 480 Mb/s bandwidth for twelve USB 2.0 ports (six USB ports and three USB 2.0 headers support additional six USB ports). The Southbridge sup- ports six SATA ports with maximum transfer rate up to 3.0 Gb/s each. It supports Intel® Matrix Storage Technology, providing both AHCI and RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 configuration. The motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, one CLR_CMOS button, two eSATA ports, one 1394a port, two LAN ports, six USB ports, one optical SPDIFO port and audio jacks for microphone, line-in and 8-ch line-out. Additionally, one Heat pipe heat sink is supported for NB, CPU & SB heat dissipation. In addition, this motherboard comes with an LED for debug, a power on button, a reset button and a CLR_CMOS button. The processor can be overclocked when CPU Over-clocking Func. is set to Enabled in M.I.B (MB Intelligent BIOS). Introducing the Motherboard
