processors. It utilizes the serial point-to-point links, which increases bandwidth and enhances
the system’s performance. It natively supports up to ten USB 3.0 ports, up to eight SATA 6
Gb/s ports, and up to M.2 Gen 3 X4 support for faster data retrieval.
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 DDR4 2400/2133 MHz Support
The motherboard supports the dual-channel DDR4 memory that features data transfer
rates of DDR4 2400/2133 MHz to boost the system’s performance, and to meet the higher
bandwidth requirements of 3D graphics, multimedia and Internet applications.
Dual PCIe 3.0 X1 M.2 Support
With a 1 x PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, dual M.2 sockets provide the exibility to enable
top-ight performance (RAID 0) or data redundancy (RAID 1) via SATA mode. It is a perfect
choice for the operating system or application drive.
Complete USB 3.1 integration
This motherboard has the latest USB 3.1 connectivity built in for the very fastest USB data
transfers — that’s up to 10 Gb/s, or twice as fast as USB 3.0. The next-generation standard
is completely backward-compatible with your existing USB devices, and you’ll be all set for
USB 3.1’s breakneck speeds.
