The X79R-AX is the ECS latest Black Series Extreme product, which fully supports the Socket 2011 Intel® Core i7 desktop processors to deliver amazing overclocking capabilities. X79R-AX is designed with the Intel X79 chip by supporting Quad channel DDR3 memory module, and able to OC from DDR3-1600 to 2500(OC) via ECS M.I.B.X to gain great performance. For better gaming performance, X79R-AX supports 4-Way Graphic Cards in CrossFireX or SLI that operates in PCIe x16 Gen.3 bandwidth. Moreover, X79R-AX features fully SATA 6Gb/s as internal interface and additional 2 eSATA 6Gb/s storage device. ECS X79R-AX is the first model in the world to show PCH temperature making a much more convenient environment for user. X79R-AX is the best choice for your computing experience.

Features:

M.I.B. III

M.I.B. III brings the same convenience interface of overclocking as M.I.B. II, it also comes with advance range of frequency tuning for system performance and superior gaming capability.

Solid Capacitor

Solid capacitors lifespan is 6 times more than electrolytic capacitors at 65◦C temperature and it offers a stability and durable system.

eOC - Easy Over Clock Utility

Easy Over Clock Utility is a easy and simply overclocking tools that provides user-friendly windows operation interface for novices and overclockers, with clicking on your mouse only you can get much higher performance of CPU quickly. It is available for download and updated online to get the latest version. Combine with ECS MIB technology to challenge undiscovered extreme overclocking than ever before.

Dual Channel DDR3 1333 1866(OC)

Over clocking memory to achieve 1866MHz instead of origin memory speed for doubling the bandwidth of your system memory up to 29.8 GB/s.

PCI EXPRESS 2.0

The exceptionally increased interconnect bit rate from 2.5GT/s up to 5.0GT/s would effectively eliminates the bottle neck of the system performance and brings the most terrific computing experience from the present to the future.

SATA 3.0Gb/s

Doubles the transfer speed of SATA, running at speed up to 3.0Gb/s, and fully compatible with the soon-to-be-released SATA HDD, CD-ROM and other cutting-edge devices with NCQ function support.

6 Channel High Definition Audio Integrated

6-channel HD Audio CODEC delivering advanced multi-channel audio and bringing you the experience of home theater-quality sound.

DVI Output

A video interface standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. DVI transmits a digital signal from a digital location in the graphics card to a digital location on the display screen. So you get the full clarity and stability of liquid crystal technology — with sharp, clear pixels.

Support Windows® 8 OS

Workable for the next version of Microsoft Windows - Windows 8 which is the first edition of Windows to support for both x86 PCs and ARM tablets.
