Processor
The board is designed to support the Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, and Intel Core i3
processors in an LGA1155 socket.
System Memory
The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
• 1.5 V DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs with gold plated contacts, with the option to raise the
voltage to support higher performance DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs.
• Support for 1.35V Low Voltage DDR3 (new JEDEC specification)
• Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
• 32 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology). Refer to
Intel® H67 Express Chipset
Intel H67 Express Chipset with Direct Media Interface (DMI) interconnect provides
interfaces to the processor and the USB, SATA, LPC, LAN, PCI, and PCI Express
interfaces. The Intel H67 Express Chipset is a centralized controller for the board’s I/O
paths.
Graphics
The board supports graphics through either Intel Graphics Technology or a PCI
Express 2.0 x16 add-in graphics card.
The board supports integrated graphics through the Intel® Flexible Display Interface
(Intel® FDI) for processors with Intel Graphics Technology.
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
The HDMI port supports standard, enhanced, or high definition video, plus multichannel
digital audio on a single cable. It is compatible with all ATSC and DVB HDTV
standards and supports eight full range channels at 24-bit/96kHz audio of lossless
audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD Master Audio. The maximum
supported resolution is 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA). The HDMI port is compliant with the
HDMI 1.3 specification and HDMI 1.4 specification only for Blu-ray S3D.
Digital Visual Interface (DVI-I)
The DVI-I port supports both digital and analog DVI displays. The maximum
supported resolution is 1900 x 1200 (WUXGA). The DVI port is compliant with the
DVI 1.0 specification. DVI analog output can also be converted to VGA using a DVIVGA
converter.
USB
The board supports up to 14 USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports.
The Intel H67 Express Chipset provides the USB controller for the 2.0 ports. The two
USB 3.0 ports are provided by the NEC UPD720200 controller.
SATA Interfaces
The board provides six SATA connectors through the PCH, which support one device
per connector:
• Two internal SATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (blue)
• Two internal SATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (black)
• One internal eSATA 3.0 Gb/s connector (red)
• One eSATA 3.0 Gb/s connector on the back panel for external connectivity (red)
The PCH provides independent SATA ports with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of
6 Gb/s for two ports and 3 Gb/s for four ports. A point-to-point interface is used for
host to device connections.
SATA RAID
The board supports Intel Rapid Storage Technology which provides the following RAID
(Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels via the Intel H67 Express Chipset:
• RAID 0 - data striping
• RAID 1 - data mirroring
• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring
• RAID 5 - distributed parity
Real-Time Clock Subsystem
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When
the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of
three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power
supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at
25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied via the power supply 5V STBY rail.
Audio
The board supports Intel HD Audio via the Realtek ALC892 audio codec. The audio
subsystem supports the following features:
• Advanced jack sense for the back panel audio jacks that enables the audio codec to
recognize the device that is connected to an audio port. The back panel audio
jacks are capable of retasking according to the user’s definition, or can be
automatically switched depending on the recognized device type.
• A signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 97 dB
• Microphone input that supports a single dynamic, condenser, or electret
microphone
• Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 Ultimate certification
LAN
The LAN subsystem consists of the following:
• Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller (10/100/1000 Mbits/s)
• Intel P67 Express Chipset
• RJ-45 LAN connector with integrated status LEDs
Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller
The Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller supports the following features:
• 10/100/1000 BASE-T IEEE 802.3 compliant
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) IEEE802.3az support [Low Power Idle (LPI) mode]
• Dual interconnect between the Integrated LAN Controller and the Physical Layer
