Asus P8H77-I, P8H77I manual Intel H77 Express Chipset, Native Sata 6.0 Gb/s support, PCIe 3.0 Ready

Intel® H77 Express Chipset

The Intel® H77 Express Chipset is a single-chipset designed to support the 1155 socket Intel® 3rd / 2nd generation Core™ i7 / i5 / i3 / Pentium®

/Celeron® processors. It provides improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability.

Additionally, H77 chipset provides 4 USB 3.0 ports for 10 times faster data retrieval speed. Moreover, Intel® H77 Express Chipset can also enable iGPU function, letting users enjoy the latest Intel® integrated graphic performance.

Dual-Channel DDR3 2200(O.C.)* /2133(O.C.)* /2000(O.C.)* /1866(O.C.)* /1800(O.C.)* /1600 / 1333 / 1066MHz support

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 2200(O.C.)* /2133(O.C.)* /2000(O.C.)* /1866(O.C.)* /1800(O. C.)* /1600 / 1333 / 1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR3 architecture enlarges the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance.

Native SATA 6.0 Gb/s support

The Intel® H77 Express Chipset natively supports next-generation Serial ATA (SATA) storage interface. This motherboard delivers up to 6.0 Gb/s data transfer rates. Additionally, get enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, double the bandwidth of current bus systems.

Complete USB 3.0 Integration

ASUS facilitates strategic USB 3.0 accessibility for both the front and rear panel – 4 USB 3.0 ports in total. Experience the latest plug & play connectivity at speeds up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0. This motherboard affords greater convenience to high speed connectivity.

PCIe 3.0 Ready

PCI Express® 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the latest PCI Express bus standard with improved encoding schemes that provide twice the performance of the current PCIe 2.0. The total bandwidth for a x16 link reaches a maximum of 32Gb/s, double the 16 Gb/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). As such, PCIe

3.0provides userss an unprecendented data speeds, combined with the convenience and seamless transition offerred by complete backward compatibility with PCIe 1.0 and PCIe 2.0 devices. PCIe 3.0 will become a must-have feature for users who wish to improve and optimize graphic performance, as well as have the latest technology available to them.

* PCI 3.0 speed is supported by Intel® 3rd generation CoreTM processors.
