The V7-P8H61E barebone supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1333 / 1066 MHz to meet the high bandwidth requirements of 3D graphics, multimedia, & Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR3 architecture enlarges the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance. Experience ultra-fast data transfers at 4.8 Gbps with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0. Built to connect easily with next-generation components & peripherals, USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 transfers data 10x faster & is also backward compatible with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 components.A mysterious dark glossy sheen will appeal to discerning high fashion aficionados. The polished panel combines with a simple symmetry to exude a sleek, stylish appearance that hides extreme performance on the inside. With an elegant power button that is flushed smoothly on the chassis & hidden I/O driver bays, a sleek continuous profile is maintained across the surface to match its unassuming computing power within. The ASUS EFI BIOS offers a user-friendly interface that goes beyond traditional keyboard-only BIOS controls to enable more flexible & convenient mouse input. Users can easily navigate the EFI BIOS with the same smoothness as their operating system. The exclusive EZ Mode displays frequently-accessed setup info, while the Advanced Mode is for experienced performance enthusiasts that demand far more intricate system settings. The ASUS Crash Free BIOS 3 allows users to restore corrupted BIOS data from a USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash disk containing the BIOS file. This utility saves users the cost & hassle of buying a replacement BIOS chip. The close integration of mechanical components & motherboard design creates the best air flow possible. Also, the V7-P8H61E uses unique Q-Fan technology to detect CPU loading & temperatures automatically. It provides the best thermal & acoustic designs towards a quiet working environment. Tap into the real-time PC power saving chip through a simple on-board switch or AI Suite II utility. Get total system-wide energy optimization by automatically detecting current PC loadings & intelligently moderating power consumption. This also reduces fan noise & extends component longevity! This barebone uses all high-quality conductive polymer capacitors on-board for durability, enhanced lifespan, & enhanced thermal capacity. it is European Unions Energy-related Products (Er P) ready, & Er P requires products to meet certain energy efficiency requirements in regards to energy consumptions. This is in line with ASUS vision of creating environment-friendly & energy-efficient products through product design & innovation to reduce carbon footprint of the product & thus mitigate environmental impacts.
