1.1.1Product highlights

LGA1155 socket for Intel® 2nd/3rd Generation Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3, Pentium®, and Celeron® Processors

This motherboard supports Intel 2nd/3rd generation Core™ i7/i5/i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors in the LGA1155 package. It provides great graphics and system performance with its GPU, dual-channel DDR3 memory slots, and PCI Express 2.0/3.0 expansion slots.

Intel® Z77 Express Chipset

Intel® Z77 Express Chipset is a single-chipset that supports the 1155 socket Intel® 2nd/3rd generation Core™ i7/i5/ i3, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors. It utilizes the serial point-to- point links, which increases bandwidth and enhances the system’s performance. It natively supports four USB 3.0 ports for up to ten times faster transfer rate than USB 2.0, and enables the iGPU function for Intel® integrated graphics performance.

PCI Express® 3.0

PCI Express® 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the PCI Express bus standard that provides twice the performance and speed of PCIe 2.0. It provides an optimal graphics performance, unprecedented data speed, and seamless transition with its complete backward compatibility to PCIe 1.0/2.0 devices.

* Intel® 3rd generation Core™ processors support PCIe 3.0.

Dual-Channel DDR3 2800(O.C.) / 2600(O.C.) / 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 2800(O.C.) / 2600(O.C.) / 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.

*Due to Intel® 2nd generation processor’s behavior, DDR3 2200 (and higher), and DDR3 2000/1800 MHz memory modules run at default rates of DDR3 2133/1866/1600 MHz.

4-WAY SLI and 3-WAY SLI CrossFireX™ Support

This motherboard features a unique PCIe 3.0 bridge chip to support 4-Way SL/CrossFireX
graphics cards for an unrivaled gaming performance. With the Intel Z77 platform to optimize	1
the PCIe allocation of multiple GPUs, it supports up to four graphic cards in both SLI or	Chapter
CrossFireX configuration.
