/ 

Celeron

TM

 processors in the LGA1155 package, with iGPU, memory, and PCI Express 

controllers integrated to support onboard graphics out with dedicated chipsets, 2-channel 

(2 DIMMs) DDR3 memory, and 16 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 lanes. This provides great graphics 

performance. Intel

Intel

®

 H61 Express Chipset is a single-chipset that supports the 1155 socket Intel

®

 3rd/2nd 

generation Core™ i7 / i5 / i3, Pentium

®

, and Celeron

TM

 processors. It utilizes the serial point-

to-point links, which increases bandwidth and enhances the system’s performance.

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1333/ 1066 

MHz to boost the system’s performance, and to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of 

the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. 

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.

The onboard 8-channel HD audio (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) 

CODEC enables high-quality 192KHz/24-bit audio output and jack-detect feature that 

automatically detects and identifies what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio 

I/O jacks and notifies users of inappropriate connection, which means there will be no more 

confusion of Line-in, Line-out, and Mic jacks.

The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is enhanced with an 

ACPI management function to provide efficient power management for advanced operating 

systems.

This motherboard uses all high-quality conductive polymer capacitors for durability, improved 

lifespan, and enhanced thermal capacity.
