processors. It provides improved 

performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability. 

Additionally, Z77 chipset provides 4 USB 3.0 ports for 10 times faster data retrieval speed. 

Moreover, Intel

®

 Z77 Express Chipset can also enable iGPU function, letting users enjoy the 

latest Intel

®

 integrated graphic performance.

The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of DDR3  

2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 / 1066 MHz to meet 

the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet 

applications. The dual-channel DDR3 architecture enlarges the bandwidth of your system 

memory to boost system performance. 

PCI Express

® 

3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the latest PCI Express bus standard with improved encoding 

schemes that provide twice the performance of the current PCIe 2.0. The total bandwidth 

for a x16 link reaches a maximum of 32Gb/s, double the 16Gb/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). 

As such, PCIe 3.0 provides users an unprecedented data speeds, combined with the 

convenience and seamless transition offered by complete backward compatibility with PCIe 

1.0 and PCIe 2.0 devices. PCIe 3.0 will become a must-have feature for users who wish to 

improve and optimize graphic performance, as well as have the latest technology available to 

them. 

Double USB Access, Double Convenience 

ASUS facilitates the strategic USB 3.0 accessibility for both the front and rear panel – 6 

USB 3.0 ports in total. Experience the latest plug & play connectivity at speeds up to 10 

times faster than USB 2.0. The P8Z77-I DELUXE affords greater convenience to high speed 

connectivity.
