ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe Mempipe: Board Layout and Features

There is nothing to complain about the PCB design, since the first PCI-Express video card does not block the DIMM latches. Even after installation of an additional Mempipe system, the user can replace memory modules without removing the video card.

Besides, we note that the main 24-pin connector is positioned on the bottom edge of the board, and the additional 8-pin one - on the right-hand end of the board. The backward compatibility to the PSY with a 4-pin cable has been preserved. For the convenience of plugging in a 4-pin cable, the "redundant" pins are closed with a plastic lid.

Near the DIMM slots, there is a 4-pin CPU_FAN connector to plug in a CPU cooler.

Besides it, there are three more 3-pin connectors: CHA_FAN1 and PWR_FAN1 - near the nForce 200 bridge, and CHA_FAN2 - near the PCI2 slot. Note that the M3N-HT Deluxe Mempipe not only determines the rotational speed of all the fans but also controls their speeds depending on the temperatures.

On the "north bridge", there is a radiator linked to the PCI-E "bridge" and the impressive PWM radiator with heat pipes.

The board uses four DIMM slots. The maximum memory capacity makes 8 GB. We also note that DDR2-1066 is supported by AM2+ CPU only.

To enable the dual-channel mode, the memory modules should be inserted into the slots of the same color. Once voltage is applied to the board, the green LED in the bottom-left corner lights up.

As regards the expansion options, the board uses three PCI Express x16 slots (all with holders) as well as one PCI Express x1 and two PCI slots.
