ASUS P5NT WS SLI Workstation Board

The ASUS P5NT WS is built on the NVIDIAC55+MCP55PXE chipset structure whichsupports a LGA775 Socket for running Intel Dual-core™/Quad-core™ CPUs and twoNVIDIA SLI graphic cards with Dual x16 speeds on the same platform. This allowsthe user to enjoy the best CPU and graphics for the system build. With theaddition of the PCI-X interface, the P5NT WS motherboard provides much moreoptions in I/O configurations for SOHOs and power users to custom-build theirideal working or entertainment environment.

High Quality Solid Aluminum Capacitors

The ASUS P5NT WS motherboard is fitted with solid Aluminum capacitors and aconductive polymer to help secure perfect system stability. These high qualitymaterials also help ensure that the motherboard will have a longer product lifetime.

New PCI-X Structure for More Efficiency

The PCI-X Structure of the P5NT WS motherboard is a newer, higher speed versionof the conventional PCI standard. It is also fully hardware and softwarebackward compatible to previous generations of PCI. These new standards keeppace with upcoming advances in high-bandwidth business-critical applicationssuch as Fibre Channel, RAID, networking, InfiniBand™ Architecture, SCSI, andiSCSI.

Effective Heat-pipe Thermal Solution

The innovative Heat-pipe Thermal design of the P5NT WS motherboard effectivelydirects the heat generated by the chipsets to the heatsink near the back IOports – where it can be dissipated by existing airflow from the CPU fan oroptional fans. This unique Heat-pipe design highlights how fanless designseffectively curb the problem of chipset fans breaking down.

Furthermore, it provides options for users to install a side-flow fan or apassive cooler. The Heat-pipe design is the most reliable fanless thermalsolution to date.

Cool and Quiet 8-Phase Power Design

The P5NT WS also encompasses an 8-Phase Power Design that reduces input ripplecurrent and output ripple voltages – keeping the CPU and power modules from therisk of high power stress. It also provides reliability under heavy-loading andoverclocking by

stabilizing output current and voltages. All this effectively lets componentsattain longer lifespans and allows them to operate at 15 $ B!k (JC (36 $ B!k (JF)lower than conventional solutions – resulting in lower fan speeds for quieteroperation.

ASUS AI Clock Skew – Reliable Overclocking

This helpful feature automatically skews the memory clock signal timing toimprove memory overclocking capabilities by 10 to 15%. The clock signal can beadjusted to reserve enough

Setup time / Hold time in order to maintain the system stability.

Balance Performance and Quietness with AI Gear

ASUS $ B!G (Js AI Gear allows users to choose from profiles to adjust the CPUfrequency and voltage. This allows a balance for both system performance andquietness. Having two modes: High Performance for running heavy loadingapplications and Max Power Saving for minimizing system noise and powerconsumption; AI Gear provides Real-time adjustments under the OS to suit varyingneeds.

AI Nap – Powersaving and Noise Reducing

With AI Nap, users can instantly snooze the PC without terminating any tasks.The system will continue operating at minimum power and noise till reawakened.

Files will continue to download and applications will be run in the quieteststate while the system is in AI Nap mode. The system will swiftly wake up in amatter of seconds with a simple click of the keyboard of mouse.
