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, IntelIntel
®
H77 Express Chipset can also
enable iGPU function, letting users enjoy the latest Intel
®
integrated
graphic performance.
Dual-Channel DDR3 1600 / 1333 / 1066MHz support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer
rates of 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.
HDMI Support
High Denition Multimedia Surface (HDMI) is a set of digital video
standards that delivers mulit-channel audio and uncompressed digital
video via a single cable. Supporting HDCP copy protection such as HD
DVD and Blu-ray discs, HDMI provides you with the highest quality home
theater experience.
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 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
®
3rd generation Core™ processors.
