 Product and Performance Data 

◊1 Desktop board may differ slightly from the image shown.

π1 DDR3 1600 or higher memory support on this motherboard requires compatible Intel® Extreme Memory Profiles (Intel® XMP) enabled memory or advanced knowledge of BIOS and memory tuning; individual results may vary.

π2 System resources and hardware (such as PCI and PCI Express*) require physical memory address locations that can reduce available addressable system memory. This could result in a reduction of as much as 1GB or more of physical addressable memory being available to the operating system and applications, depending on the system configuration and operating system.

◊2 Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) requires a system with an appropriate Intel® chipset and a motherboard with an appropriate codec and the necessary drivers installed. System sound quality will vary depending on actual implementation, controller, codec, drivers, and speakers.
