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 3466 MHz Support
The motherboard supports the dual-channel DDR4 memory that features data transfer rates
of DDR4 3466 MHz to boost the system’s performance, and to meet the higher bandwidth
requirements of 3D graphics, multimedia and Internet applications.
PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 Support
With a 4x PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, the M.2 can support up to 32 Gbit/s of data transfer
speed. It is a perfect choice for the operating system or application drive, making your system
and its installed apps work in a faster pace.
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.
