The boards allows adjusting quite a wide range of the memory settings:


XFX N780-ISH9

The parameter in charge of selecting the memory operating frequency is in the section dealing with overclocking settings:


XFX N780-ISH9

The frequency values are displayed in the quadruple form. By the way, the user does not have to rack brains but simply choose the required memory frequency multiplier:


Now move on to the section to do with the system monitoring.


XFX N780-ISH9

The board keeps track of the current temperature of the CPU and the system, as well as the north bridge; keeps track of all the possible voltages of the system, and the rotational speeds of the five fans.


Besides, the board is able dynamically controlling the rotational speeds of the four fans depending on the temperatures.


It should be noted that the user gets access to all the technologies supported by modern processors:


In conclusion, we note the technology which allows saving all the BIOS settings (in particular, frequencies and voltages) into memory and loading them on demand.


We also note the integrated test of the RAM.
