1.1.1 Product highlights
Intel ® LGA1155 Intel ® 3rd/2nd Generation Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3,
Pentium ® , and Celeron TM processors
This motherboard supports the Intel ® 3rd/2nd generation Core™ i7 / i5 / i3 / Pentium ® /
Celeron TM 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 tm processors
are among the most powerful and energy efficient CPUs in the world.
Intel ® H61 Express Chipset
Intel ® H61 Express Chipset is a single-chipset that supports the 1155 socket Intel ® 3rd/2nd
generation Core™ i7 / i5 / i3, Pentium ® , and Celeron TM processors. It utilizes the serial point-
to-point links, which increases bandwidth and enhances the system’s performance.
Dual-Channel DDR3 1333/ 1066MHz support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1333/ 1066
MHz to boost the system’s performance, and to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of
the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications.
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.
8-channel high definition audio
The onboard 8-channel HD audio (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia)
CODEC enables high-quality 192KHz/24-bit audio output and jack-detect feature that
automatically detects and identifies what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio
I/O jacks and notifies users of inappropriate connection, which means there will be no more
confusion of Line-in, Line-out, and Mic jacks.
Gigabit LAN solution
The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is enhanced with an
ACPI management function to provide efficient power management for advanced operating
systems.
100% All High-quality Conductive Polymer Capacitors
This motherboard uses all high-quality conductive polymer capacitors for durability, improved
lifespan, and enhanced thermal capacity.
