ASUS PVIIH57D-V EVO CPU Board

[Abba Magdu]

Let's confront it, unless you are fully fresh to the do it yourself computer market, ASUS requires no introduction. They are one of the biggest OEM CPU board manufacturers on Earth and are the biggest maker of CPU board for the enthusiast and do it yourself markets. Here formerly ASUS has been crafting boards for each conceivable target market.

The PViiH57D-V EVO is a bit dissimilar than what we are utilized to assuring here as it has on board video, and does not weigh 5 pounds thanks to massive heat sinks and an endless sea of ability phases. No, not this time. ASUS determined to play things a bit differently with this one.

This board is designed for a more mainstream audience and is not construct up to be an extravagant powerhouse with 48 phase power or anything similar that.At first glance the ASUS PVIIH57D-V EVO looks to be a solid even generally unremarkable CPU board. It has a modest number of power phases, and there are no expand cooling result, tons of PCI-Express x16 ports, or tons of storage slots.

On the surface, it appears just similar to each other ASUS P55 Express chipset founded board. However this board uses Intel's new H57 chipset which is planned to function with Intel's "Clarkdale" Core i3 5xx and Core i5 6xx central processing units.

These central processing units have construct in graphics processing units. So there is not really any graphics hardware incorporated into the board aside from a slightly dissimilar chipset and physical video output links in the form of DVI and VGA outputs. If that did not permit for a robust sufficient package,



ASUS incorporated USB 3.0 and SATA 6G support into the P7H57D-V EVO. Granted this does not count for much now as peripherals that can utilize either of these 2 characteristic are some and long among.

Support for these two characteristic is even not native to the chipset. Support for these characteristic are furnishes through a PCI-Express xIV bridge chip. The Marvell 9123 bridge chip to be perfect. SATA SixG support arrives from the Marvell 88SE6111 chip and Universal Serial Bus 3.0 support arrives from an NEC USB 3.0 host controller supporting 2 slots.

Crossfire/CrossfireX/SLI/Quad-SLI multi-graphics processing unit result are supported, but just with LGA1156 central processing units that do not have incorporated graphics answer. This is spelled out so clearly on ASUS' website, but it is not clear on the CPU Board box. Audio is furnished through an Eight-channel Azalia codec.

The board supports Six SATA IIIG slots, 2 SATA 6G ports, 2 eSATA ports, 1 PATA/EIDE slot, Universal Serial Bus 2.0 and 3.0 slots, and IEEE1394a. The list of characteristic does not stop there. ASUS' Express Gate characteristic is supported, as is their Fan Xpert tech, Crash free BIOS III, Stack Cool III, central processing unit Level Up, TurboV EVO, CPU Level Up, T.Probe, ASUS EPU, and Auto Tuning.

Some characteristic similar "Fan Xpert" are small more than clever names for instead basic place characteristic. Others are not. Stack Cool 3 for model refers to additional layers of stuff which are planned to maintain the place around the central processing unit socket cooler. Other boards out there utilize same, but somewhat dissimilar methods to accomplish the similar thing.

ASUS' Express Gate is an model of a characteristic that is truly unique to ASUS boards. This characteristic permits for internet links and few common system functionality by a proprietary OS embedded into the system board.
