- One-stop Access to Innovative ASUS Features The Intel H61 (B3) Express Chipset is the latest single-chipset design to support the 1155 socket Intel Core i 7/ Core i 5/ Core i 3 2nd generation processors. It provides enhanced performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth & stability. **LGA1155 socket for Intel 3rd/2nd Generation Core™ i 7 / Core™ i 5 / Core™ i 3 / Pentium / Celeron Processors** This motherboard supports the Intel 3rd/2nd generation Core™ i 7/i 5/i 3/ Pentium/ Celeron processors in the LGA1155 package, with i GPU, memory, & PCI Express controllers integrated to support onboard graphics out with dedicated chipsets, 2-channel (2 DIMMs) DDR3 memory, & 16 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 lanes. This provides great graphics performance. Intel 3rd/2nd generation Core™ i 7/i 5/i 3/ Pentium/ Celeron processors are among the most powerful & energy efficient CPUs in the world. ** Intel H61 Express Chipset** The Intel H61 Express Chipset is a single-chipset design to support the new 1155 socket Intel 3rd/2nd Generation Core™ i 7 / Core™ i 5 / Core™ i 3 / Pentium / Celeron processors. It provides enhanced performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, which allows increased bandwidth & stability. **PCIe 3.0 Ready** PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the latest PCI Express bus standard with enhanced encoding schemes that provide twice the performance of current PCIe 2.0. Total bandwidth for a x 16 link reaches a maximum of 32GB/s, double the 16GB/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x 16 mode). As such, PCIe 3.0 provides users unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience & seamless transition offered by complete backward compatibility with PCIe 1.0 & PCIe 2.0 devices. PCIe 3.0 will become a must
