Product Information
Get super-fast data transfers and extreme performance boosts with the ASUS P8Z77-V Thunderbolt motherboard. It features dual intelligent processors with SMART DIGI and power control. That cuts the CPU wattage requirements in half and keeps your device running cooler. Customizable controls mean you can set up the system to meet your specific needs. The USB 3.0 boost speeds up your universal serial port transmissions. DLNA streaming and remote desktop features are made simple with the special Wi-Fi Go! Feature. It allows you to set up a Wi-Fi hot spot on the go. Connect native Thunderbolt storage devices to any high-definition video capture device and still maintain maximum throughput without interruption. Turn your computer into a supercomputer with a motherboard that maximizes its power.All four USB 3.0 ports are located at the edge of the board. That makes them easy to access regardless of the form factor you're working with. If you're building a very small machine, then ASUS still has you covered. You'll be able to transfer files to your external volumes at up to 10 times the speed of a regular port. Since the Wi-Fi card features an external antenna port, the speed is directly proportional to signal strength. You'll be able to get blazing fast speeds not possible with internal aerials. If you need faster speeds, then you also have an Ethernet port to work off of.All P8Z77-V motherboards feature an Intel Z77 express chipset socket. This supports Intel i3, i7, i5, Pentium, and Celeron processors. If you're looking at a 3rd generation Intel core, then you can expect these to run at full speed, too. You can run your CPU in 32-bit mode for compatibility. When you want to add extra memory into the expansion slots, the BIOS supports 64-bit mode. This is great if you need the extra power when you're building a gaming PC. It's also perfect if you want to run XP-64 or a 64-bit Linux distribution. The amount of RAM this board can take is influenced by the type of microprocessor you install. You have the power to take control over your own DIMM cards.If you're a serious gamer, this board is compliant with certain standards like the ATX specification that you may looking for. You'll appreciate the SATA bus system along with the extra PCIE slots for extra storage should you need it. You could add an SDXC reader right to the board if you wanted to. The onboard audio system even gives you a choice if you want to better amplify the sound. After you install a microchip in the LGA1155 socket, you can build a machine from the ground up. If you're working with NVIDIA technology, you can install additional PCI x16 video hardware. On the other hand, the included GPU is beefy enough for most people who don't need two graphics cards. This stock equipment won't overwork the fan either.Product Identifiers
