Dual-Channel DDR3 2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600 /
1333 / 1066 MHz Support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of DDR3
2400(O.C.) / 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.
PCI Express
®
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 16Gb/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode).
As such, PCIe 3.0 provides users an 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.
* PCI 3.0 speed is supported by Intel
Complete USB 3.0 Integration
Double USB Access, Double Convenience
