Having recently looked at the Sabretooth X79, it's now the turn of a motherboard a little lower down the food chain, the Asus P9X79 Pro. This board is lower down in relative terms only though, as the X79 is a high-end, enthusiast chipset. That means any motherboard featuring this chipset isn't going to be exactly cheap. The P9X79 Pro is about a tenner cheaper than the Sabretooth X79. And, you'd better sit down for this, nearly a hundred quid cheaper than Asus's flagship Republic of Gamers X79. The P9X79 Pro is still packed with up-to-the-minute features, such as PCIe 3.0 support, USB 3.0 boost technology, SSD caching, Asus's new USB BIOS Flashback, an updated UEFI BIOS with new features and eSATA 6Gbps. So in fact you're getting an awful lot of board for that price tag and with a fair degree of future-proofing built in as a bonus. The new processors feature a quad-channel memory controller, which goes some way to explaining the crazy physical size of the chip and its corresponding socket on the board. Small it ain't and while some companies are happy to stick with four DIMM slots, Asus being Asus has gone the whole hog and, as it did with the Sabertooth X79, the P9X79 Pro sports a complete set of eight DIMM slots, two per channel.
Its always exciting seeing new products coming to the market. Just a month ago, Intel released their latest X79 chipset and the new LGA 2011 socket Sandy Bridge-E architecture. This new architecture brought two new processors to the shelves: the Core i7 3960X and the 3930K. Enthusiast and extreme users have been long awaiting this development since the 6-core 980X Gulftown CPU/X58 chipset combination first hit the market in early 2010. As always, the X79 release started a race for all the major motherboard manufacturers, each competing for the #1 spot in the motherboard market. ASUS seems to be pretty confident about hitting the mark with their latest X79 chipset motherboards. Today, we're going to take a look at the ASUS P9X79 Pro motherboard, checking out its features and an overall motherboard design that ASUS is proud to show off. When we first heard about the ASUS P9X79 Pro motherboard, we knew right off the bat that it would most likely be an excellent motherboard, but we did not actually think that ASUS will be able to put so many features onto a single motherboard.
