Although many years and also the largest board partner of AMD / ATI Sapphire is now another step closer to Intel and has a new motherboard incorporated into his own portfolio, but still on the X58 chipset, and thus the fairly new high end is base 1366th
It shall be here again very much emphasis on overclocking potential to be expanded, for example, by high-quality capacitors, special BIOS settings or known by the graphics card software Sapphire Trixx.
The equipment is here, as with other manufacturers very extensive. Six DDR3 slots can accommodate up to 24GB of memory and allow three PCIe x16 slots both CrossFire and SLI combinations, in full configuration with three graphics cards are the slots but controlled only with 8 lanes.
Something strange sounds, the number of SATA slots, since by his own admission because it offers 2 x SATA 3 Gb / s and for 5x SATA 6 Gb / s. On the back will come 8x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.0 used with eSATA port and a Bluetooth option.
Other special features are only buttons for starting and resetting the system and associated LEDs and the Dual BIOS, can be selected depending on the jumper setting a specific BIOS. Price and release date as yet unknown, however, this month filed later.
Interestingly, however, should be the Sapphire Pure Black P67 Hydra, in which an additional Lucid Hydra 200 chip installed, allows the mixed graphics card configurations. The rest of the equipment remains largely the same, apart from the new chipset of course. However, one stumbles here for price and date in the dark.
