Z77 Express Chipset is a single-chipset that supports the 1155 socket Intel
®
2nd/3rd
generation Core™ i7/i5/ i3, Pentium
®
, and Celeron
®
processors. It utilizes the serial point-to-
point links, which increases bandwidth and enhances the system’s performance. It natively
supports four USB 3.0 ports for up to ten times faster transfer rate than USB 2.0, and enables
the iGPU function for Intel
®
integrated graphics performance.
PCI Express

3.0
PCI Express
®
3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the PCI Express bus standard that provides twice the
performance and speed of PCIe 2.0. It provides an optimal graphics performance,
unprecedented data speed, and seamless transition with its complete backward compatibility
to PCIe 1.0/2.0 devices.

3rd generation Core™ processors support PCIe 3.0.
Dual-Channel DDR3 2800(O.C.) / 2600(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.
C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 / 1066 MHz Support
The motherboard supports the dual-channel DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates
of DDR3 2800(O.C.) / 2600(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600
/ 1333 / 1066 MHz to boost the system’s performance, and to meet the higher bandwidth
requirements of 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications.
* Due to Intel
®
2nd generation processor’s behavior, DDR3 2200 (and higher), and DDR3 2000/1800 MHz memory
modules run at default rates of DDR3 2133/1866/1600 MHz.
4-WAY SLI and 3-WAY SLI CrossFireX™ Support
This motherboard features a unique PCIe 3.0 bridge chip to support 4-Way SL/CrossFireX
graphics cards for an unrivaled gaming performance. With the Intel Z77 platform to optimize
the PCIe allocation of multiple GPUs, it supports up to four graphic cards in both SLI or
CrossFireX conguration.
