Dual-Channel DDR3 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 / 1066 Support

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866 / 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.

*Due to CPU behavior, DDR3 2200/2000/1800 MHz memory module will run at DDR3 2133/1866/1600 MHz frequency as default.

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. The P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 affords greater convenience to high speed connectivity.

Extra SATA 6.0 Gb/s Support

The Intel® Z68 Express Chipset natively supports the next-generation Serial ATA (SATA) interface, delivering up to 6.0 Gb/s data transfer. ASUS provides extra SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports with enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, and double the bandwidth of current bus systems.

1.3.2Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM

The world’s first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered the use of two onboard chips—EPU (Energy Processing Unit) and TPU (TurboV Processing Unit). New generation Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM digital power design launch control into a new era, empowering users with superior flexibility and perfect precision to ensure optimized performance, extreme system stability and greater power efficiency.

DIGI+ VRM

New ASUS DIGI+ VRM upgrades motherboard power delivery to a digital standard. The 16 digital architecture delivers twice the precision power. With iGPU on P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 motherboards, DIGI+ VRM intelligently adjust Vcore PWM, integrated graphics voltages and frequency modulation to minimize power loss through BIOS tuning and the exclusive user interface. It increases overclocking range while performance reaches its full potential, adjusting frequencies dynamically and cutting EM interference by half to enhance system stability through enabled spread spectrum. The DIGI+ VRM digital power design empowers users with superior flexibility and perfect precision to ensure optimized performance. extreme system stability, and greater power efficiency.
