Chapter 1: Product Introduction Product introduction 1.1 Special features 1 1.1.1 Product highlights LGA1150 socket for Intel® 4th Generation Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3, Pentium®, and Celeron® Processors This motherboard supports Intel® 4th generation Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors in the LGA1150 package. It provides great graphics and system performance with its GPU, dual-channel DDR3 memory slots and PCI Express 2.0/3.0 expansion slots. Intel® H87 Express Chipset Intel® H87 Express Chipset is a single-chipset that supports the 1150 socket Intel® 4th generation Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ 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 up to six 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. Dual-Channel DDR3 1600 / 1333 / 1066 MHz Support The motherboard supports the dual-channel DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of DDR3 1600 / 1333 / 1066 MHz to boost the system's performance, and to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of 3D graphics, multimedia and Internet applications. Native SATA 6.0 Gb/s support With Intel® H87 Express Chipset natively support for the Serial ATA (SATA) storage interface, this motherboard delivers up to 6.0 Gb/s data transfer rates. It also provides enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, double the bandwidth of current bus systems. Quad-GPU CrossFireX™ Support This motherboard features the most powerful Intel® H87 platform that optimizes PCIe allocation in multi-GPU CrossFireX™ solution, giving you a brand-new gaming enjoyment. S/PDIF out connector at the back I/O This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home theater audio systems via the optical S/PDIF (SONY-PHILIPS Digital Interface) out connector at the back I/O. The S/PDIF transfers digital audio without converting it to analog format and keeps the best signal quality. Chapter 1 ASUS H87-PRO 1-1
