Product Description 1.7.2 PCI Express x16 Graphics The Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and Intel Pentium processors in an LGA1155 socket support discrete add in graphics cards through the PCI Express 2.0 x16 graphics connector: • Supports PCI Express GEN2 frequency of 2.5 GHz resulting in 5.0 Gb/s each direction (500 MB/s) per lane. Maximum theoretical bandwidth on interface is 8 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, when operating in x16 mode. • Supports PCI Express GEN1 frequency of 1.25 GHz resulting in 2.5 Gb/s each direction (250 MB/s) per lane. Maximum theoretical bandwidth on interface is 4 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, when operating in x16 mode. For information about PCI Express technology Refer to http://www.pcisig.com 1.8 USB The board supports up to ten USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports. The Intel Q67 Express Chipset provides the USB controller for the 2.0 ports. The two USB 3.0 ports are provided by the NEC* UPD720200 controller. The port arrangement is as follows: • Two USB 3.0 ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors (blue) • Four USB 2.0 ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors (black) • Six USB 2.0 front panel ports implemented through three internal headers All 12 USB ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. The USB 3.0 ports are super-speed capable. NOTES Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use a shielded cable that meets the requirements for full-speed devices. In order to use supported USB 3.0 features, you must first install the USB 3.0 drivers. Operating system installation may be interrupted if keyboard and mouse devices are connected to the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports (blue) during installation due to the lack of native USB 3.0 driver support from the operating system.
