1.4 Processor
The board is designed to support the Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and
Intel Pentium processors in an LGA1155 socket.
Other processors may be supported in the future. This board is designed to support
processors with a maximum TDP of 95 W. See the Intel web site listed below for the
most up-to-date list of supported processors.
For information about… Refer to:
Supported processors http://processormatch.intel.com
CAUTION
Use only the processors listed on the web site above. Use of unsupported processors
can damage the board, the processor, and the power supply.
NOTE
This board has specific requirements for providing power to the processor. Refer to
Section 2.5.1 on page 53 for information on power supply requirements for this board.

Product Description
1.5 Intel® H61 Express Chipset
The Intel H61 Express Chipset consisting of the Intel H61 Platform Controller Hub
(PCH) provides interfaces to the processor and the USB, SATA, LPC, audio, network,
display, and PCI Express. The PCH is a centralized controller for the board’s I/O paths.
For information about Refer to
The Intel H61 Express chipset http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/index.htm
Resources used by the chipset Chapter 2
1.6 System Memory
The board has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
• Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
• Supports 1.2 V – 1.8 V DIMM memory voltage
• Support for non-ECC, unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with x8
organization
• 16 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology). Refer to
Section 2.1.1 on page 37 for information on the total amount of addressable
memory.
• Minimum to
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR3 1333 MHz and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
tal system
memory: 1 GB using 1 Gb x8 module
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory
is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but
performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the
determined frequency.
CAUTION
1.5 V is the recommended and default setting for DDR3 memory voltage. The other
memory voltage settings in the BIOS Setup program are provided for performance
tuning purposes only. Altering the memory voltage may (i) reduce system stability
and the useful life of the system, memory, and processor; (ii) cause the processor and
other system components to fail; (iii) cause reductions in system performance; (iv)
cause additional heat or other damage; and (v) affect system data integrity.
Intel has not tested and does not warranty the operation of the processor beyond its
specifications. For information on the processor warranty, refer to
http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-

1.6.1 Memory Configurations
The Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and Intel Pentium processors support the
following types of memory organization:
• Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for
real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory
capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary
from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel
must be equal. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest
memory timing will be used.
• Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel
bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a
single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and
device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are
used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

1.7 Graphics Subsystem
The board supports system graphics through either Intel Graphics Technology or a
PCI Express 2.0 x1 add-in graphics card.
1.7.1 Integrated Graphics
The board supports integrated graphics through the Intel® Flexible Display Interface
®
(Intel
1.7.1.1 Analog Display (VGA)
The VGA port supports analog displays. The maximum supported resolution is 2048 x
1536 (QXGA) at a 75 Hz refresh rate. The VGA port is enabled for POST whenever a
monitor is attached, regardless of the DVI-D connector status.
FDI) for processors with Intel Graphics Technology.
1.8 USB
The board supports up to six USB 2.0 ports. The port arrangement is as follows:
• Four USB 2.0 ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors (black)
• Two USB 2.0 front panel ports are implemented through one dual-port internal
header
All six USB ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable.
NOTE
Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not
meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use a
shielded cable that meets the requirements for full-speed devices.

Product Description
1.9 SATA Interfaces
The board provides two 3 Gb/s SATA connectors, which support one device per
connector.
The underlying SATA functionality is transparent to the operating system. The SATA
controller can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard IDE
I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15). In Native mode, standard PCI
Conventional bus resource steering is used. Native mode is the preferred mode for
configurations using the Windows* XP, Windows Vista*, and Windows 7* operating
systems.
For more information, see: http://www.serialata.org/
For information about Refer to
The location of the SATA connectors Figure 10, page 41

jacks are capable of retasking according to the user’s definition, or can be
automatically switched depending on the recognized device type.
• Stereo input and output through back panel jacks
• Headphone and Mic in functions for front panel audio jacks
• S/PDIF audio header
• A signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 90 dB

Product Description
1.11.1 Audio Subsystem Software
Audio software and drivers are available from Intel’s World Wide Web site.
For information about Refer to
Obtaining audio software and drivers Section 1.3, page 16
1.11.2 Audio Headers and Connectors
The board contains audio connectors and headers on both the back panel and the
component side of the board. The component-side audio headers include the
following:
• Front panel audio (a 2 x 5-pin header that provides headphone and mic in signals
for front panel audio connectors) (yellow)
• S/PDIF audio header (1 x 4-pin header) (yellow)
For information about Refer to
The locations of the front panel audio header, S/PDIF header, and
internal mono speaker header

The back panel audio connectors are configurable through the audio device drivers.
For information about Refer to
The back panel audio connectors Section 2.2.1, page 40
The front panel headphone output is supported using a separate audio channel pair
allowing multi-streaming audio configurations such as simultaneous 5.1 surround
playback and stereo audio conferencing (through back panel speakers and a front
panel headset, respectively).
1.11.2.2 S/PDIF Header
The S/PDIF header allows connections to coaxial or optical dongles for digital audio
output.
