Thread: Ecs pn2 sli2+ motherboard.

ECS has directed for the high terminate of the market with its PN2 SLI2+ model. This LGA 775 CPU board utilizes the newly Nvidia Nforce 680i chipset to contribute you, well, all actually, supplied you favour Nvidia graphics cards over ATi productions.The key characteristic is the match of PCI Express slots that give you a entire sixteen lanes each, and there's a 3rd slot that can provide 8 PCI Express lanes. evidently that's a nod to the next when you'll be able to utilize a lesser graphics card to handle the physics in intensive games.

In addition, there are 2 PCI Express x1 slots and 2 regular PCI slots, but depending on which types of graphics cards you set up it's rather potential that there will be hardly any usable expansion useable. gratefully the 3 PCI Express slots utilize a latch that you can free quite simply when the slots are populated.



The Nvidia chipset has a big passive heatsink that is associated to the Southbridge cooler with a heatpipe, so on the 1 hand the Southbridge cooler is low profile which gets out space for graphics cards, and on the early the cooler on the Northbridge gets hot.

The cooler is argued in by the CPU socket, the top-most graphics card and the closest module of storage, so there's no apparent route for hot air to escape. ECS has guessed about this and provides a fan which clips to the cooler vertically, but it spins rather quick and emits a steady drone.
