1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
Intel ® B75 Express Chipset
The Intel ® B75 Express Chipset is the latest single-chipset designed to
support the 1155 socket Intel ® 3rd/2nd generation Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 /
Core™ i3 processors. It provides improved performance by utilizing serial
point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability. In addition,
B75 chipset provides 4 USB 3.0 ports that retrieves data 10 times faster.
Moreover, Intel ®
B75 Express Chipset also supports iGPU function, letting
users enjoy the latest Intel integrated graphic performance.
Dual-Channel DDR3 2400(O.C.) / 2250(O.C.) / 2200(OC.) /
2133(O.C.) / 2000 / 1866 /1600 / 1333 / 1066MHz support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer
rates of 2400(O.C.) / 2250(O.C.) / 2200(OC.) / 2133(O.C.) / 2000 / 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 the behavior of Intel ® 3rd Generation processor, DDR3 2250 (and
above)/2133/1866 MHz memory module will run at DDR3 2200/2000/1800 MHz
frequency as default.
Native SATA 6.0 Gb/s support
The Intel ® B75 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.
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 16 Gb/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). As such, PCIe
3.0 provides users 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 Core™ processors.
