ASUS P8Z77-V LX2, Intel Z77 Motherboard - Socket 1155

Of course, also support the Z77 motherboards, like its predecessors, the Z68 series, the SSD caching technology called Intel SRT (Smart Response Technology). It is used as an SSD cache (cache). This allows some of the Windows Start or invoking various programs to accelerate significantly. All motherboards with Z77 chip is also the native assembly with four SATA 3G and two SATA 6G ports in common. Optional additional chips can of course still provide significantly more connections.
 
The Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard supports the LGA1155 socket, both the latest Intel Core processors, the third generation and second-generation Core i7/i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron-Prozessoren. Due to the integrated graphics processor, memory and PCI Express controller integrated to support the implemented graphics output with dedicated chipsets, 2-channel (4 DIMMs) DDR3 memory and 16 PCI Express 3.0/2.0-Lanes, which together make for an exceptional graphics performance.
 
Video cards can be linked to the P8Z77-V Asus LX2 in single configuration with 16 PCI Express lanes. The board provides the user with four DDR3 memory slots with dual-channel option available, which are specified up to 2400 MHz (OC). All these features can be a speed rush to reality.
 
The previously mentioned native Intel controller on the P8Z77 offers two USB 3.0 ports for connecting peripherals on the rear side. In addition, another header for two ports is done internally, so that new housing can connect their USB 3.0 port on the I / O panel so directly. The SATA controller from Intel supports all common RAID modes, both SATA 3G, as well as SATA 6G basis. Allows users to have a total of six SATA ports.
 
Of course, the user is also a Gigabit Ethernet port, a VGA and an absolutely current HDMI 1.4 connector for the (optional) graphics unit of the processor. Even eight-proven USB 2.0 ports, four of them at the I / O panel are also on board. For audio enthusiasts are eight channels over three jacks are available, the quality thanks to a Realtek ALC887 chip multi-channel sound (THX TruStudio PRO certified) output to all speakers or headphones.
 
ASUS is the pioneer in energy design and promotes the DIGI + technology standard for energy management of the future. In order to process digital voltage signals (SVID) of the processor optimally need to work together two critical components perfectly. The communication between the processor and the motherboard is unlike previous Z77 motherboards instead of digitally. This means that the processor is the motherboards voltage requirement in the form of digital signals, and thus can tell ultra fast and precise. The mainboard can thus the proper voltage level for the processor accurately and efficiently deliver as needed. For overclockers a true blessing.
 
Thanks to a special built-in controller, mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablet PCs, MP3 players, etc., are charged up to 3 times faster – even when the PC is turned off or in standby mode or hibernation mode. Asus calls this feature USB Charger +, it will be activated at a designated port as required and instantly the power necessary.
IControl by Network using the power switch, the data and the network bandwidth of the currently running application will be prioritized with just one click before other programs. The feature EPU (Power 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 effectively save power and automatically provides the optimal energy consumption of individual components. This not only saves power but also reduces fan noise and extends component life.
Another highlight of the board is the lack of a traditional BIOS and set all parameters via a graphical interface, known as UEFI. The ASUS UEFI BIOS offers the first mouse-controlled graphical BIOS that has a selectable modes, and user-friendly interface, which is the traditional keyboard input ahead. It also natively supports fully-utilized hard drives larger than 2.2TB in 64-bit operating systems.
