Intel

®

H77 Express Chipset

The Intel

®

H77 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, H77 chipset provides 4 USB 3.0 ports for 10 times faster

data retrieval speed. Moreover, Intel

®

H77 Express Chipset can also

enable iGPU function, letting users enjoy the latest Intel

®

integrated

graphic performance.

Dual-Channel DDR3 2200(O.C.)* /2133(O.C.)* /2000(O.C.)*

/1866(O.C.)* /1800(O.C.)* /1600 / 1333 / 1066MHz support

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer

rates of 2200(O.C.)* /2133(O.C.)* /2000(O.C.)* /1866(O.C.)* /1800(O.

C.)* /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.

Native SATA 6.0 Gb/s support

The Intel

®

H77 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.

PCIe 3.0 Ready

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 userss 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
