No picture has **: Intel 7 series mainstream motherboard revealed

Recently, we have seen Intel's three original motherboards based on the B75 and Q77 chipsets. However, they are all aimed at the commercial sector and have little to do with ordinary users. VR-Zone today brought five motherboards from Intel's original H77, Z77, and Z75 chipsets, which are all mainstream media products for the consumer. Although there are no specific product plans for the time being, the specification parameters are very complete.

First look at "DH77EB" (Eb Lake), instead of DH67BL, the only mATX small form factor H77, but full-featured, provides a PCI-E 3.0 x16 (H77 does not support multi-channel graphics card), three PCI-E 2.0 x1 expansion Slots, four DDR3 DIMM memory slots, two SATA 6Gbps and three SATA 3Gbps disk interfaces (one of which shares bandwidth with mini PCI-E/mSATA slots), Intel Gigabit LAN and 7.1 channel sound card.

The back interface has two USB 3.0, four USB 2.0, eSATA, fiber S/PDIF, DVI-I, HDMI, DisplayPort, onboard pins also supports two USB 3.0, six USB 2.0, a serial port and parallel port.

Used to do HTPC almost perfect.

Followed by ATX large plate type "DH77KC" (Knoll Creek), replacing DH67CL. Based on the DH77EB, it added a PCI-E 2.0 x4 and three PCI expansion slots and a PS/2 interface, but removed two of the PCI-E 2.0 x1. Others are basically the same.

The third and final H77 motherboard “DH77DF” (Dry Fork) uses the cute Mini-ITX mini version and will replace the same compact DH67CF, but it is no longer a short version, and the extended function is also So more abundant.

It has two DDR3 DIMM memory slots, two SATA 6Gbps and two SATA 3Gbps interfaces, one PCI-E 3.0 x16 and one mini PCI-E/mSATA expansion slot, and expansion pins support two USB 3.0, four USB 2.0, an IEEE1394a. The back interface provides two USB 3.0, four USB 2.0, one eSATA, one IEEE1394a, optical fiber S/PDIF, DVI-I, HDMI, DisplayPort, basically comparable to the DH77EB, and it is just as appropriate to use HTPC.

The Z75 has only one "DZ75SL" (Spur Lake), replacing the DZ68DB, ATX standard version. The expansion slots are very rich, with one PCI-E 3.0 x16, one PCI-E 2.0 x4, one PCI-E 2.0 x1, and three PCI, but since the Z75 does not support Intel RST storage technology, no mini PCI-E slot is provided . The storage interface is two SATA 6Gbps, three SATA 3Gbps, integrated Intel Gigabit Ethernet and 7.1-channel sound card. The slag pin supports three USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0.

There are also many interfaces on the back, such as two USB 3.0, four USB 2.0, eSATA, and fiber S/PDIF, but the video output only provides one HDMI, which is a bit unfortunate.

Finally, the high-end "DZ77BH" (Blue Hills) of the Z77 chipset will not replace any existing model. It is the only one with two PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots and can be split into dual x8 mode with SLI, CrossFire, three PCI-E 2.0 x1, and two PCIs. Four SATA 6Gbps and three SATA 3Gbps disk interface configurations are also attractive, two of which come from third-party masters. 7.1-channel sound cards and Gigabit LAN cards are naturally essential, and extension pins support two USB 3.0, six USB 2.0, and one IEEE1394a.

The back interface has PS/2, four USB 3.0 (two of which are naturally third-party master), four USB 2.0, eSATA, IEEE1394a, fiber S/PDIF, HDMI, but unfortunately there is no DVI, DisplayPort.

By the way, it will also come with a copy of Lucidlogix Virtu software, which supports independent display switching.

Later, there will be two motherboards of the Extreme fever series: "DZ77GA" and "DZ77RE" of the Z77 chipset.
