This motherboard supports the Intel
processors in LGA1155 package with memory and PCI Express controllers integrated to
support 2-channel (4 DIMMs) DDR3 memory and 16 PCI Express 2.0 lanes. This provides
great graphics performance. Intel
processors are among the most powerful and energy efficient CPUs in the world.
Intel P67 Express Chipset
®
The Intel P67 Express Chipset is the latest single-chipset design to support the new 1155
®
socket Intel Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3 second generation processors. It uses serial
®
point-to-point links, which allows increased bandwidth and stability, and provides an improved
performance. It also provides two SATA 6.0 Gb/s and four SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports for faster data
retrieval at double the bandwidth of current bus systems.
Quad-GPU SLI™ and Quad-GPU CrossFireX™ Support
The motherboard's powerful Intel
configurations of either SLI™ or CrossFireX™. This allows you to enjoy a never before-
experienced brand new gaming style.
Dual-Channel DDR3 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 / 1066 Support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 2200(O.C.) /
2133(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.
* Due to CPU behavior, DDR3 2200/2000/1800 MHz memory module will run at DDR3 2133/1866/1600
MHz frequency as default.
Complete USB 3.0 Integration
