ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS. It offers you a great platform to build your power house with the second generation Intel Core CPUs and releases the full potential of your system. It utilizes Dual Intelligent Processors Technology integrating EPU (Energy Processing Unit) and TPU (TurboV Processing Unit) for superior processor scaling, extreme system stability and greater power efficiency. The Smart Response technology speeds up data loading by caching your frequently accessed data using an installed SSD, bringing your SSD-like performance and huge capacity of HDD at an affordable price point. The LucidLogix Virtu technology offers you flexibility to switch between IGP and discrete graphics card based on load level, helping achieve a perfect balance between power consumption and noise level.
* Please Note: This is an OEM motherboard and it does not come with rear I/O shield also known as back-plate cover; this part is not needed and you can still install the board in standard ATX case.
