ASUS P8H61-M2/TPM/SI R2.01-2
Intel
®
H61 Express Chipset
The Intel
®
H61 Express Chipset is the latest single-chipset design to
support the new 1155 socket Intel
®
3rd/2nd Generation Core™ i7 /
Core™ i5 / Core™ i3 / Pentium
®
/ Celeron
®
processors. It provides
improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, which allows
increased bandwidth and stability.
Dual-Channel DDR3 2200 (O.C.) / 2000 (O.C.) / 1800 (O.C.) /
1600 (O.C.) / 1333 / 1066MHz support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer
rates of 2200 (O.C.) / 2000 (O.C.) / 1800 (O.C.) / 1600 (O.C.) / 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
®
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 users 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.
Gigabit LAN solution
The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is
enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efcient power
management for advanced operating systems.
Intel
®
Smart Response Technology
SSD Speed with HDD Capacity
Intel
®
Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance.
It uses an installed fast SSD (min 18.6GB available capacity required) as
a cache for frequently accessed data. Key benets include reduced load
and wait times, and lower power consumption through the elimination
of unnecessary hard drive spin. This technology combines SSD
performance with hard drive capacity, operating up to 4X faster than a
hard drive-only system, and an important part of Green ASUS eco-
friendly computing.
* Intel
®
Smart Response Technology is supported by 3
rd
/ 2
nd
generation Intel
®
Core™ processor family on Windows
®
7™ operating systems.
** Operating systems must be installed on the HDD to launch Intel
®
Smart
Response Technology. The capacity of the SSD is reserved for caching
function.
