Premium Gold Caps

 

 

All the capacitors on the Fatal1ty Series gaming motherboard are luxury, Premium Gold Caps. These 100% Japan-made solid capacitors are sleek, high gloss caps with a premium gold coating representing long life and stable performance.

 

V12+6 CPU Power Phase

 

 

The Fatal1ty Series motherboard is designed with a V12+6 Power Phase, featuring sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. The Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3 offers unmatched overclocking capability and enhanced performance with the lowest temperatures for PC gaming enthusiasts.

Digital PWM Design

 

 

Digital Pulse-width modulation

By adopting digital pulse-width modulation (PWM), the Fatal1ty Series can provide CPU Vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly. Compared to analog PWM, digital PWM can optimize the CPU power solution and provide a proper and stable Vcore for the processor.

 

Lucid Virtu™

 

 

With Lucid Virtu software, next-generation PCs with 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processor platforms will dynamically assign tasks in real time to the best available graphics resource based on power, performance and features.

 

 

 

Intel® Smart Response Technology

 

 

For users who are tempted to connect the SSD and HDD on motherboard, the Intel® Smart Response Technology can make the SSD become the "Cache of the HDD" to boost up the HDD access speed.

 

 

 

PLX PEX8608 chip onboard

 

 

Fatal1ty Motherboard breaks the limitation and offers sufficient PCI-E lanes solution by embedding PLX PEX8608 chip onboard.

 

 

 

With PLX PEX8608 chip, it generates more PCI-E lanes for PCI-E devices, so that all PCI-E devices are able to work at the proper speed simultaneously!

 

Fatal1ty Mouse Port

 

 

Fatal1ty Mouse Port is a customizable technology for PC gamers that is a part of F-Stream. After plugging the USB mouse into the Fatal1ty Mouse Port and running F-Stream, gamers can use Fatal1ty’s personal preferred mouse polling rate at 500 Hz. F-Stream also provides the flexibility for gamers to adjust the mouse polling rate from 125 Hz to 1000 Hz. This is helpful for professional gamers to experience smoother game play and faster response time to the mouse.

 

Limitations:

1. Some USB mice may not support 1000 Hz mouse polling rate.

2. The Fatal1ty mouse port does not support USB 2.0 mouse.

3. The Fatal1ty mouse port may not support some wireless USB mice.

4. The Fatal1ty mouse port does not support the USB mouse which is connected to the USB hub.

 

On/Off Play Technology

 

 

Even when the system is powered off (in ACPI S5 mode), On/Off Play Technology still allows users to enjoy the great audio experience from the portable audio devices through the PC speaker.

 

Intel® HD Graphics Built-in Visuals

 

 

 

 

Fatal1ty F-Stream – The All-in-1 Tuning Software

 

 

The Fatal1ty F-Stream tuning program is an all-in-1 software utility that supports overclocking and hard-ware tuning such as energy usage, H/W monitor, fan speed control and Fatal1ty Mouse Port Configuration. In Hardware Monitor, it shows the major readings of your system. In Fan Control, it shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust.

 

 

 

In Overclocking, you are allowed to adjust the CPU frequency, ratio and some voltages for optimal system performance. In Mouse Polling, gamers can freely adjust the mouse polling rate. In Energy Saving, the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output phases to improve efficiency when the CPU cores are idle without sacrificing computing performance.
