Product highlights

 

LGA1155 socket for Intel® 2nd/3rd Generation Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3

 

/ Pentium® and Celeron® Processors

 

This motherboard supports the Intel® 3rd/2nd generation Core™ i7/i5/i3/Pentium®/Celeron®

 

processors in the LGA1155 package, with iGPU, memory, and PCI Express controllers

 

integrated to support onboard graphics out with dedicated chipsets, 2-channel (2 DIMMs)

 

DDR3 memory, and 16 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 lanes. This provides great graphics performance.

 

Intel® 3rd/2nd generation Core™ i7/i5/i3/Pentium®/Celeron® processors are among the

 

most powerful and energy efficient CPUs in the world.

 

Intel® Z77 Express Chipset

 

The Intel® Z77 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, Z77 chipset provides 4 USB 3.0 ports for 10 times faster data

 

retrieval speed. Moreover, Intel® Z77 Express Chipset can also enable iGPU function, letting

 

users enjoy the latest Intel® integrated graphic performance.

 

PCI Express® 3.0

 

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 16Gb/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode).

 

PCIe 3.0 provides users with unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience

 

and seamless transition offered 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 Core™ processors.

 

Dual-Channel DDR3 2400 (O.C.) / 2200 (O.C.) / 2133 (O.C.) / 1866 (O.C.) / 1600 /

 

1333 / 1066 MHz Support

 

The motherboard supports the dual-channel DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates

 

 

of DDR3 2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 / 1066 MHz to

 

 

boost the system’s performance, and to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of 3D

 

 

graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications.
