Chapter 1: Product Introduction Product Introduction 1.1 Special features 1 1.1.1 Product highlights LGA2011-v3 socket for Intel® Core™ i7 X-Series / i7 processors This motherboard supports Intel® Core™ i7 X-Series / i7 processors in the LGA2011-v3 package. It provides great system performance, quad-channel DDR4 memory slots and PCI Express 2.0/3.0 expansion slots. Intel® X99 Express Chipset Intel® X99 Express Chipset is a single chipset that supports the LGA2011-v3 socket for Intel® Core™ i7 X-Series / i7 processors. It utilizes the serial point-to-point links, which increases bandwidth and enhances the system's performance. It natively supports up to eight (8) USB 3.0 ports and ten (10) SATA 6 Gb/s ports. 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. 4-WAY SLI and 4-Way CrossFireX™ Support This motherboad features NVIDIA 4-WAY SLI and AMD 4-Way CrossfireX support that enables mulit-GPU setup, giving you the full power of the latest graphics technologies. It also features native support for 4K/UHD (ultra high definition) resolution of up to 4096 x 2160 via HDMI or DisplayPort, resulting to four times the number of pixels for incredible visual clarity, detail, and realism. Quad-Channel DDR4 2400 MHz Support The motherboard supports the quad-channel DDR4 memory that features data transfer rates of DDR4 2400 MHz to boost the system's performance, and to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of 3D graphics, multimedia and Internet applications. M.2* and U.2 Support This motherboard features the M.2 slot and U.2 connector, which shares bandwidth with PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot to speed up data transfer up to 32 Gb/s. This helps enhance the performance of your SSD (Solid State Drive) that is dedicated only to the operating system. * Supports PCIe mode only. Chapter 1 ASUS X99-E-10G WS 1-1
