XFX nForce 630i

Designed for Intel Socket 775, the 630i/7150 motherboard delivers an exceptional Windows Vista experience together with outstanding graphics. It supports a full range of Intel CPUs and up to 4 GB of DDR2-800 memory. The onboard HDMI and DVI output enables users to connect their PCs directly to any High Def display for optimal viewing of HD content.

NVIDIA Control Panel

• NVIDIA Control Panel allows you to take full advantage of ESA. Easily adjust PC characteristics for maximum performance. Features NVIDIA System Monitor, so you can seamlessly monitor characteristics in an intuitive and customizable 3D environment.

NVIDIA nTune

• Now with access to more settings from this Windows-based utility, the NVIDIA nTune performance manager allows automatic tuning for optimal performance. Once configured and customized, nTune automatically chooses the right system settings for the application that is being run based on your saved profiles and personal rules.

NV BIOS

• NV BIOS delivers easy-to-use tuning to let you have full control over your hardware including processor voltage tables and memory drive strengths.

Multiple Disk Setup

• Through a simple wizard-based interface, you can effortlessly set up your drives for better data protection, faster disk access, or maximum storage capacity. MediaShield automatically selects RAID 0, 1, 0+1 or 5 configuration according to your needs. Advanced users can access RAID options directly.

DiskAlert System

• In the event of a disk failure, MediaShield users see a real-time image of the motherboard that highlights which hard drive has failed, making it easier to identify, replace, and recover.

NVIDIA MediaShieldTM RAID

• Suite of features that safeguards your most important digital media assets; always reliable, scalable, and accessible. Includes support for RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 configurations and up to six SATA 3Gb/s drives.

Bootable Multidisk Array

• MediaShield storage fully supports the use of multi-disk array for loading the operating system at power-up.

Native Gigabit Ethernet Connection

• The industry's fastest Gigabit Ethernet performance eliminates network bottlenecks and improves overall system efficiency and performance.

Chipset

• Generation of NVIDIA nForce MCP included on this motherboard.

FSB (MHz)

• Through overclocking, the nForce 600i series can deliver FSB speeds well beyond specification. The front side bus (FSB) in the nForce 600i series is specified to run at 1333MHz to support existing and future FSB speeds. Through overclocking, however, the nForce 600i series can deliver FSB speeds well beyond specification. Get the headroom today for overclocking and/or future FSB speeds.

SATA

• Combine up to 12 SATA drives into 2-4 volumes for bigger, faster RAID. More drives mean more configuration options such as 2x RAID 0 for boot partition, 2x RAID 0 for enhanced gaming, 4x RAID 5 for multimedia applications, and 4x RAID5 for media data storage. Take advantage of the latest SATA 3Gb/s hard drives with full support for hot plugging and native and tagged command queuing which can provide higher disk performance in a multi-threaded environment by performing out-of-order disk accesses.

Native Gigabit Ethernet Connection

• The industry's fastest Gigabit Ethernet performance eliminates network bottlenecks and improves overall system efficiency and performance.

Audio Channels

• High definition audio brings consumer electronics quality sound to the PC delivering high quality sound from multiple channels. Using HDA, systems can deliver 192kHz/32-bit quality for eight channels, supporting new audio formats.

SPDIF-Out

• Digital S/PDIF for access to the Dolby Digital 5.1 real-time encoder

SPDIF-In

• Digital S/PDIF for access to the Dolby Digital 5.1 real-time encoder

HDCP

• Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security specifications of the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats, allowing the playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-compliant displays. Requires other HDCP-compatible components.

VIVO

• Video In Video Out is a graphics card port which enables some video cards to have bidirectional (input and output) video transfer through a Mini-DIN connector and a specialized splitter cable.

VGA

• Analog-based standard adopted in the late 1980s designed for CRT displays.

HDMI

• The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams.

Vista Ready

• NVIDIA nForce-based motherboards are perfect for Microsoft Windows Vista when coupled with an NVIDIA GeForce GPU and 512MB of system memory.

Vista Premium Ready

• NVIDIA nForce-based motherboards are perfect for Microsoft Windows Vista when coupled with an NVIDIA GeForce GPU and 512MB of system memory.

RoHS

• The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". This Directive bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.
