Chapter 1: Product Introduction

This motherboard supports Intel

®

 3rd/2nd generation Core™ i7/i5/i3/Pentium

®

/Celeron

®

 

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

integrated to support onboard graphics output with dedicated chipsets, 2-channel (4 DIMM) 

DDR3 memory and 16 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 lanes. This provides great graphics performance. 

Intel

®

 3rd/2nd generation Core™ i7/i5/i3/Pentium

®

/Celeron

®

 processors are among the most 

powerful and energy efficient CPUs in the world. 

The Intel

®

 Z77 Express Chipset is a single-chipset design to support socket 1155 Intel

®

 

3rd/2nd generation Core™ i7/i5/i3/Pentium

®

/Celeron

®

 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.

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

schemes that provide twice the performance of current PCIe 2.0. 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 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. 
* PCIe 3.0 speed is supported by Intel® 3rd generation Core™ processors.

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. 

P8Z77-V brings you the multi-GPU choice of either SLI™ or CrossFireX. The motherboard 

features the most powerful Intel® Z77 platform to optimize PCIe allocation in multiple GPU 

configurations. Expect a brand-new gaming style you’ve never experienced before!
