ASUS P8H61 R2.0 Series 1-2
Intel ® H61 Express Chipset
The Intel ® H61 Express Chipset is the latest single-chipset design to
support the new 1155 socket Intel ® 3rd/2nd Generation Core™ i7 /
Core™ i5 / Core™ i3 / Pentium ® / Celeron ® processors. It provides
improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, which allows
increased bandwidth and stability.
Dual-Channel DDR3 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 2000(O.C.) /
1866(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.) / 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.
• DDR3 1600 MHz and higher memory frequency is supported by Intel ® 3rd generation
processors.
• Due to the CPU behavior, DDR3 2133/1866 memory module will run at DDR3
2000/1800 MHz frequency.
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.
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.
