ASUS P8Z77-V LX, Intel Z77 Motherboard - Socket 1155

Of course, support the Z77 motherboards, like its predecessors, the Z68 series, the SSD caching technology, Intels SRT (Smart Response Technology) called. It is used as an SSD cache (cache). This allows some of the Windows startup or calling various programs to accelerate significantly. All motherboards with Z77 chip is also the native assembly in common with four SATA 3G SATA 6G and two ports. Optional additional chips can, of course, provide much more connections.
 
The Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard supports socket LGA1155 with both the latest Intel processors as well as third-generation Core i7/i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron-Prozessoren the second generation. Through the integrated graphics processor, memory and the integrated PCI Express controller, it supports the implemented graphics output with dedicated chipsets, 2-channel (4 DIMMs) DDR3 memory and 16 PCI Express 3.0/2.0-Lanes which together provide an exceptional graphics performance.
 
Graphics cards can be connected by the LX V-P8Z77 from Asus in single-configuration with 16 PCI Express lanes. But multi-GPU configurations with up to two SLI or CrossfireX-capable VGA cards from NVIDIA or AMD for the Asus board is no problem. In this case, the PCIe lane connectivity with four lanes. The board provides the user with four DDR3 memory slots with dual channel option available that are rated to 2667 MHz (OC). All these features can be a speed rush to reality.
 
The previously mentioned native Intel controller provides the P8Z77 two USB 3.0 ports for connecting peripherals to the rear panel. In addition, another header for two ports is performed internally, so that new housing can connect your USB 3.0 port of the I / O panel directly with it. The SATA controller from Intel supports all popular RAID modes, both on SATA-3G as well as SATA 6G basis. The user is a total of eight SATA ports.
 
Of course, the user will find also a Gigabit Ethernet port, DVI, VGA, an absolutely current HDMI 1.4 connection, and even a DisplayPort for the (optional) graphics processor unit. Even ten-proven USB 2.0 ports, two of them are on the I / O panel, on board. For audio enthusiasts, eight channels are available on six phone jacks, the output (certified THX TruStudio PRO) Realtek ALC887 chip, thanks to a high-quality multichannel sound to all speakers or headphones. In addition, built and optical digital output for connection to an A / V receivers or digital converter.
 
ASUS is the pioneer in energy-design and promotes the DIGI + technology standard for energy management in the future. To the digital voltage signals (SVID) process of the processor can ideally, two critical components to work together perfectly. The communication between the processor and motherboard is the Z77 unlike previous motherboards instead of digitally. This means that the processor to the motherboards voltage requirement may specify in the form of digital signals and thus ultra-fast and precise. The motherboard can therefore the correct voltage level for the processor to deliver precise and efficient as needed. For overclockers a true blessing.
 
Thanks to a special built-in controller allows mobile devices such as smart phones, tablet PCs, MP3 players, etc. are charged up to 3x faster – even when the PC is off or in standby mode or hibernate mode. Asus calls this feature USB Charger +, it is activated at a designated port if required and instantly the necessary power.
 
With iControl Network can use the power button, the data and the network bandwidth of the currently running application with a single click can be prioritized over other programs. The feature EPU (energy saving function) works either via an integrated switch in the motherboard or on the AI Suite II utility. It determines the current PC utilization and reducing the stresses from as far as possible, so the whole system effective to conserve power and automatically ensures the optimum energy consumption of individual components. This not only saves electricity, but also reduces the fan noise and prolongs the life of components.
 
Another highlight of the board is the lack of a traditional BIOS and set all parameters via a graphical interface, called UEFI. The ASUS UEFI BIOS provides the first mouse-driven graphical BIOS that has a selectable modes, and user-friendly interface that is far beyond the traditional entry requires the keyboard. It also supports native untapped hard drives larger than 2.2 TB in 64-bit operating systems.
