ASUS P9X79 Pro Preview

First Look – continued

We have plenty of SATA connectors, including one designated for SSD Cache. It looks like the Z68 Intel Rapid Storage Technology has made the leap to the X79.

It’s great to see a huge amount of fan-headers available. It’s something that often gets overlooked and considering how many case fans a modern gaming rig requires we’re pleased the P9X79 Pro has so many.
