Pci Express - Asus P8Z77-V LE User Manual

* Intel ® Smart Response Technology is supported by 2nd/3rd generation Intel
family on Windows ® 7™ operating systems.
** Operating systems must be installed on the HDD to launch Intel
The capacity of the SSD is reserved for caching function.
Intel Smart Connect Technology
®
Your computer can receive web updates with fresh content for selected applications, even
when the system is in sleep mode. This means less time waiting for applications to update
and sync with the cloud, leading to a more efficient computing experience.
Intel Rapid Start Technology
®
Allows your computer to quickly resume from a lowe-power hibernate state in seconds.
Saving your system memory to the designed SSD, it provides your computer a faster wake-
up response time, while still keeping the energy use low.
Extra SATA 6Gb/s Support
The Intel Z77 Express chipset natively supports the next-generation Serial ATA (SATA)
®
interface, delivering up to 6Gb/s data transfer. ASUS provides extra SATA 6Gb/s ports with
enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, and double the bandwidth of current bus systems.

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 current PCIe 2.0. Total bandwidth for a x16
link reaches a maximum of 32GB/s, double the 16GB/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). As such,
PCIe 3.0 provides users unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience and
seamless transition offered 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.
PCIe 3.0 speed is supported by Intel
S/PDIF out connector at the back I/O
This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home theater audio systems
via the optical S/PDIF (SONY-PHILIPS Digital Interface) out connecor at the back I/O. The
S/PDIF transfers digital audio without converting it to analog format and keeps the best signal
quality.
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.
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.
