Intel Releases Product Brief on the DX79SI Extreme Series Motherboard!
The Intel DX79SI motherboard is no stranger to us here at Legit Reviews. We first spotted the upcoming LGA2011 motherboard for Intel Sandy Bridge-E processors at the Intel Developer Forum and got plenty of hands on time with the X79 Express powered board. It came as a shock to us this morning when we learned that Intel published in-depth details about its DX79SI Extreme Series Sandy Bridge-E motherboard in a product brief that was posted online for all to see. The product brief pretty much spills the beans on all of the boards features and is certainly worth taking a look at this morning.
According to the product brief, the board will be supporting both AMD Crossfire and Nvidia SLI configurations via three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, include eight DIMM slots, two Firewire and 14 USB 2.0 ports, as well as two SATA 6.0 Gb/s and four SATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors. There is no native USB 3.0 support, however, as Intel takes that route via a separate NEC controller to support this feature in two available ports. Also, there are two PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots and still one remaining PCI interface. Intel will be marketing this board toward “champion gamers” and enthusiasts “who live to push their systems way beyond the limits.” The DX79SI will come Intel’s Extreme Tuning Utility, an Express Installer as well as ESET Smart Security 5 Antivirus.
