ASUS K8N4-E DELUXE Socket 754 ATX
:
Bringing PCI-Express to the 754 platform
The K8N4-E Deluxe brings PCI-Express to all the AMD Socket 754 users. But much more than PCI-express, the K8N4-E Deluxe also offers numerous advance features and powerful performance to your desktop. One would also be able to enjoy the thrill of overclocking with ASUS' very own AI NOS, AI Overclocking, and Precision Tweaking package. The K8N4-E Deluxe brings more power to you.
64bit CPU support
64-bit computing, the next generation technology to replace current 32-bit architecture, delivers advanced system performance, faster memory access and increased productivity. This motherboard provides excellent compatibility and flexibility by supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit architecture.
AMD Athlon 64 Processor
The AMD Athlon 64 processor is based on AMD64 technology, which represents the landmark introduction of the industry's first x86-64 technology. This next-generation processor provides a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership and development. AMD Cool 'n' Quiet™technology enables processor frequency and voltage switching to reduce power and fan speed.
PCI Express Architecture
PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace the existing PCI. With a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than that of AGP 8X interface, PCI Express x16 bus performs much better than AGP 8X in applications such as 3D gaming. PCI Express x1 also outperforms PCI interface with its exceptional high bandwidth up to 500MB/s. The high speed PCI Express interface creates new usages on desktop PCs e.g., Gigabit LAN, 1394b, and high-speed RAID systems.
8 Serial ATA ports
K8N4-E Deluxe integrates 8 Serial ATA ports for your storage needs. Serial ATA is the next generation ATA specification that provides scalable performance for today and tomorrow. With up to 150MB/s data transfer rate, Serial ATA is faster than current Parallel ATA, while providing 100% software compatibility.
AI Audio (8-channel Audio)
The ALC850 has eight channels of 16-Bit DAC, a stereo 16-Bit ADC, and an AC97 2.3 compatible multi-channel audio designed for PC multimedia systems. The CODEC can also automatically detect and identify what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio I/O jacks and notifies users of inappropriate connection. No more confusion of Line-in, Line-out and Mic jacks.
PEG Link
PEG (PCI-Express Graphics) Link lets you to raise GPU and VGA memory throughput via the motherboard BIOS the same way system bus and memory bus are tweaked. ASUS engineers carefully fine-tuned the parameters for PCI-Express cards to provide system stability during high-speed graphics operation. Furthermore, with two PCI-Express slots, the A8N-SLI is able to activate PEG Link on both graphics
Precision Tweaker
Precision Tweaker is designed for serious overclockers. It offers ways to raise system performance inch-by-inch and step-by-step to achieve maximum performance! This is about getting the most out of your machine, and taking pride in your customized computer. Precision Tweaker provides overclocking options for all major parts of the system: CPU, Memory, PCI-Express, and Front Side Bus.

ASUS AI BIOS
CrashFree BIOS2
Whenever BIOS gets corrupted, ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 allows users to reboot the computer and perform an smart auto-recovery procedure through the motherboard support CD.
Q-fan 2
A voice warning design during POST notifies users of any system errors, which means no more complicated LED messages!
PostRepoter
This unique technology intelligently and automatically adjusts CPU and Chassis fan speeds according to system load and temperature, enabling users to work in a distraction-free environment with minimal noise.
AI Overclocking
ASUS K8N4-E Deluxe offers robust overclocking options to maximize your system performance.
-- SFS (Stepless Frequency Selection) from 200MHz up to 300MHz at 1MHz increment
-- CPU, Memory and AGP voltage adjustable
-- ASUS C.P.R.(CPU Parameter Recall)
Diagnose LAN connection before entering OS!
Network problems are often caused by bad cable connection.
AI NET2 remotely detects cable connection the second you turn on the system, and any faulty connections are reported back up to 100 meters at 1 meter accuracy.
Multi-language BIOS
ASUS provides friendly localized BIOS setup menu to help you configure your system as easy as possible.
Dual RAID
The nForce4 chipset incorporated two Serial ATA and two parallel connectors with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and JBOD functions while the Silicon Image controller provides another four Serial ATA connectors for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5 functions. The K8N4-E Deluxe is the ideal solution to enhance hard disk performance and data back up protection without the cost of add-on cards.
IEEE 1394 interface
IEEE 1394 interface provides high speed digital interface for audio/video appliances such as digital television, digital video camcorders, storage peripherals & other PC portable devices.
Instant music
Through this unique feature, K8N4-E Deluxe is conveniently designed to allow users to enjoy their favorite music without the need to enter Windows.
Multi-language BIOS
ASUS provides friendly localized BIOS setup menu to help you configure your system as easy as possible.
ASUS MyLogo2
You can convert your favorite photo into a 256-color boot logo for a more colorful and vivid image on your screen.
C.P.R.(CPU Parameter Recall)
When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, there is no need to open the case to clear the CMOS data. Just simply restart the system, the BIOS would show the previous setting and then users can amend the CPU setting again.
ASUS EZ Flash
With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS before entering operating system. No more DOS-based flash utility and bootable diskette required.
10 USB 2.0 ports support
USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity standard for next generation components and peripherals. Backward compatible with current USB 1.1 peripherals, USB 2.0 delivers transfer speeds up to 40 times faster at 480Mb/s, for easy connectivity and ultra-fast data transfers.
