ECS KN2 SLI

Designed for extreme gamers and hardware enthusiasts, this new KN2 SLI, is a member of the top-of-the-line ECS Extreme motherboard series.

Featuring ECS’ Scalable D.G.E. (Scalable Dual Graphic Engines) architecture, the KN2 SLI can leverage NVIDIA SLI x16 technology with dual PCI Express x16 slots and one DUO-N card. Driven by the DUO-N card, the dual PCI-E x16 slots can provide two full bandwidth, 16-lane logical PCI-E connections, supporting twice the bandwidth of dual x8 designs. This dual PCI-E x16 design ensures maximum graphics performance for next-generation GPUs and games.

To meet the needs of the most demanding gamers who continually seek better performance for higher scores - the KN2 SLI also features the nTune utility, a performance optimisation tool that enables performance enthusiasts to overclock easily, safely and automatically.

Along with supercharged performance, the KN2 SLI delivers storage convenience and security. Embedding NVIDIA’s advanced NFORCE4 SLI x16 chipset, the KN2 SLI features MediaShield storage technology, providing RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 functionality for safe and easy storage of digital media assets plus SATA II and NCQ for high disk performance. Better yet, NVIDIA ActiveArmor technology activates secure networking as soon as the PC is powered up, delivering the highest level of network security and system performance by protecting the PC from virus intrusion.
