Catering to users who need a powerful motherboard with high speeds and greatexpansion slot interface support, ASUS, worldwide leader in motherboard designand production, has today released the Z7S WS workstation motherboard. Thisinnovative motherboard is equipped with dual socket 771 and utilizes the latestIntel® 5400 chipset for vigorous performance. It also supports fully bufferedDDR2 800MHz dual-channel memory, dual PCI Express 2.0 x16 lanes; and comes inthe compact CEB form factor. With this innovative motherboard, users will enjoyconvenient slot expansion and enjoy fast and efficient work efficiency.
High Efficiency with Multiple High Speed Expansion Slots
The multiple slot interfaces increase expansion choices and allows users toobtain high data transmission speeds. Supporting dual PCIe 2.0 x 16 for doublethe normal bus bandwidth from 2.5 Gb/s to 5.0 Gb/s, users will truly be able toaccomplish more tasks in a much shorter time; while enjoying backwardcompatibility with previous PCIe 1.1 standards. The Z7S WS also showcases PCI-Xslots for more convenience on slot expansion, and is able to bring about fullspeeds for Gigabit Ethernet, SCSI RAID and other PCI-X devices.
Compact Board Size with Dual CPU Support and Rich I/O
The Z7S WS is well equipped with dual CPU sockets, 6 FB-DIMMs, and rich I/O; andstill fits into the compact CEB form factor (12” x 10.5”) – allowing users andenthusiasts to build up a small and compact whilst extremely powerful dual CPUworkstation system with great performance.
Heat-pipe Solution for Noiseless Environments
Equipped with ASUS’ innovative heat-pipe solution, the Z7S dissipates heatefficiently. The Z7S’s particular heat-pipe design is made to increasedurability, life spans and enhance thermal capacity. It also provides highlyefficient operations with less heat than traditional heat sink designs.
Discrete Audio MIO Card for Improved Sound
The MIO audio card offers great sound quality to complement the robust videopower. This card offers enhanced signal-to-noise ratio in a 7.1 surround channelsetup – delivering exhilarating surround sound for professional andentertainment usage.
Exclusive MemCoolTM Support for Enhanced Thermal Solutions
The optional ASUS Patented MemCool Kit maximizes Fully-buffered DIMM performanceby eliminating the potential risk of system memory throttling fromover-temperature; as well as minimizing the system integration effort of SI forthermal & acoustic solutions.
Easy and Convenient Installations
Users will also enjoy the specially designed “extra” features that come with theZ7S WS. With Q-Connector, users can connect and disconnect chassis front panelcables in one easy step with just one complete module. This unique adaptereliminates the trouble of plugging in one cable at a time – making connectionsquick and accurate. Secondly, ASUS’ Q-Shield does without the usual "fingers" oftraditional gaskets – making it convenient, easy and safe to install without thescratches and cuts like before. The Q-Shield also has better electricconductivity to ideally protect the motherboard against static electricity andshield users against harmful Electronic Magnetic Interference (EMI).
