Accelerated HD graphics performance
Destroyer includes new technologies designed to further boost the performance of installed graphics cards, and enable playback of HD video content.
GeForce® Boost turbocharges the performance of GeForce® graphics cards by utilizing the onboard GeForce® GPU in tandem with installed graphics cards. The integrated GPU also features PureVideo HD technology which combines high-definition video decode acceleration and post-processing to deliver unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for movies and video. PureVideo HD includes required content protection circuitry (HDCP) for playing the new Blu-ray and HD DVD movies at the highest quality possible, and is directly integrated with the leading HD movie software players.
HybridPower™ saves energy and reduces noise from your PC by disabling installed graphics cards when they are not needed, and re-activating them for graphics-intensive applications such as gaming.
2-way, 3-way SLI or 4-way graphics firepower
With 4* PCIe2.0 x16 slots, Destroyer includes multiple options for graphics configurations, including 3-way SLI™ support or 4-way graphics. Multi-graphics configurations present enthusiasts and with huge boosts in graphics performance, with 3-way SLI™ providing up to 2.8x the performance capability of a single graphics card and catering for extreme HD resolutions of 2560x1600 at truly playable frame rates.
PCIe Generation 2.0 support
PCI Express Gen2.0 technology doubles the available aggregate bandwidth between PCIe Generation 2 cards and the motherboard. This means a Gen2.0 16-lane (x16) link can provide up to 16GB/s of bandwidth, 8GB/s in each direction. PCIe Gen2.0 is backwards compatible, and so existing PCIe “Gen1” cards can be plugged into Gen2.0 slots.

Quantum BIOS
Quantum BIOS provides new features and enhancements for overclocking including context-driven menus, more detailed memory configurations and enhanced quad-core overclocking support.
4in1 Quantum Cooler
The unique all-copper modular designed 4in1 Quantum Cooler enables effective cooling of the NB, SB and VRM areas. Swap out the NB parts to configure it for air, water or more extreme forms of cooling!
8 phase Digital PWM
8 phase Digital PWM provides more robust power delivery, standing up to the demands of enthusiasts and overclockers. This finely-tuned digital power management system operates with better power efficiency, a faster and more stable response to changes in power consumption, and higher output current capability to support extreme overclocking.
New audio technology
Destroyer includes a new audio solution using Low ESR Metallized Polyster Film capacitors to deliver greater sound clarity and audio fidelity.
Onboard 7.1 channel HD Audio with Low ESR Metallized Polyster Film capacitors delivers greater sound clarity and audio fidelity.
The onboard audio circuits use metallized polyster film capacitors with low ESR to improve audio quality and reduce interference. These components are widely used in high-end audio equipment.
ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) is the degree to which natural resistance occurs in a capacitor, generating heat and resulting in failure or distortion of signals. The use of low ESR capacitors in audio circuits reduces occurrences of electrical noise and improves frequency response - especially in the higher audio ranges of 20-48KHz.
AEGIS Panel
AEGIS Panel is a Windows based innovation tool to provide monitoring system information about fan speeds, temperatures, voltages CPU Clock, etc. It also quick and easy overclocking options, with a range of frequency and voltage adjustments.
100% SOLID Capacitor & Ferrite Choke Design
Foxconn’s 100% SOLID Capacitor design improves component reliability, by replacing electrolytic capacitors with solid versions; this removes the risk of capacitor failure damaging the PCB and surrounding components, whilst improving overall system performance and stability. Solid capacitors are much more durable than standard electrolytic versions, typically lasting around 6 times longer and withstanding higher operating temperatures.
Ferrite Choke
Ferrite Choke design improves power delivery to the motherboard. By using an iron-oxide core, the Ferrite Choke design can hold energy at a higher frequency than traditional iron cores, resulting in less power loss, and more stability and performance capability for your system, especially when under heavy loading.
