ASUS KGPE-D16 1-5
DDR3 memory support
The KGPE-D16 supports UDIMM and RDIMM DDR3 memory that features
data transfer rates of 1600/1333/1066/800 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth
requirements of server and workstation applications. The 4-channel DDR3 architecture
boosts system performance, eliminating bottlenecks. Furthermore, the supply voltage
for the memory is reduced from 1.8 V for DDR2 to just 1.5V for DDR3. This voltage
reduction limits the power consumption and heat generation of DDR3 which makes it
an ideal memory solution.
PCI Express™ interface
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect
technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point serial
interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data
in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI
specications.
82574L LAN Solution
The motherboard comes with dual Gigabit LAN controllers and ports which provide
a total solution for your networking needs. The onboard Intel 82574L Gigabit LAN
controllers use the PCI Express interface and could achieve network throughput
close to Gigabit bandwidth.
Serial ATA II technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II 3 Gb/s technology through the
Serial ATA interface and Intel ICH10R chipset. The Serial ATA II specication
provides twice the bandwidth of the current Serial ATA products with a host of new
features, including Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Power Management (PM)
Implementation Algorithm, and Hot Swap. Serial ATA allows thinner, more exible
cables with lower pin count and reduced voltage requirements.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specication,
dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB
1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored to prevent overheating and damage. The
system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection.
The chip monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical
components.
