Another feature of nForce 790i SLI is NVIDIA ESA (Enthusiast System Architecture). With the new control panel and system monitor tools, users can monitor and control all parts in real time, 3D.
Conventional PC do not have a standard for each part to communicate, users have to use different applications to monitor different parts. ESA establishes a communication channel for each part, let user totally monitors and controls computer parts. Simply speaking, every ESA parts uses internal USB to connect to a control unit, and the control unit is directly linked to mobo. The most common usage is use ESA to log all parts activity, it can help users to analyze which part goes wrong.

Hi,
fist I would thank you for your great job!!!
but I have a question I hope you’ll answer me:
I’d like to buy this mobo with OCZ Flex II XLC 2 x 1 Go PC16000 and a E8500, is it a good choice to do a good overclock ?
Thanks
