Chapter 1
Dual-Channel DDR3 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 / 1066 Support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 2200(O.C.) /
2133(O.C.) / 1866 / 1600/ 1333 / 1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements
of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR3
architecture enlarges the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance.
* Due to CPU behavior, DDR3 2200/2000/1800 MHz memory module will run at DDR3 2133/1866/1600
MHz frequency as default.
Complete USB 3.0 Integration
ASUS facilitates strategic USB 3.0 accessibility for both the front and rear panel - 4 USB 3.0
ports in total. Experience the latest plug & play connectivity at speeds up to 10 times faster
than USB 2.0. The P8Z68-V/GEN3 affords greater convenience to high speed connectivity.
1.3.2 Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM
The world’s first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered the use of two onboard
chips—EPU (Energy Processing Unit) and TPU (TurboV Processing Unit). New generation
Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM digital power design launch control into a new
era, empowering users with superior flexibility and perfect precision to ensure optimized
performance, extreme system stability and greater power efficiency.
DIGI+ VRM
New ASUS DIGI+ VRM upgrades motherboard power delivery to a digital standard. The
12+4 digital architecture delivers twice the precision power. With iGPU on P8Z68-V/GEN3
motherboards, DIGI+ VRM intelligently adjust Vcore PWM, integrated graphics voltages
and frequency modulation to minimize power loss through BIOS tuning and the exclusive
user interface. It increases overclocking range while performance reaches its full potential,
adjusting frequencies dynamically and cutting EM interference by half to enhance system
stability through enabled spread spectrum. The DIGI+ VRM digital power design empowers
users with superior flexibility and perfect precision to ensure optimized performance. extreme
system stability, and greater power efficiency.
2X Precise Power Control
ASUS DIGI+ VRM delivers twice the precision power, intelligently adjusting PWM voltage and
frequency modulation to minimize power loss while performance reaches its full potential.
2X Less Radiation
ASUS DIGI+ VRM adjusts frequencies dynamically, cutting radiation by half to enhance
system stability through enabling spread spectrum.
TPU
Unleash your performance with ASUS' simple onboard switch or AI Suite II utility. The TPU
chip offers precise voltage control and advanced monitoring through Auto Tuning and TurboV
functions. Auto Tuning offers a user friendly way to automatically optimize the system for fast,
yet stable clock speeds, while TurboV enables unlimited freedom to adjust CPU frequencies
and ratios for optimized performance in diverse situations.
