The DH77EB Media Series Desktop Board (Single Pack) from Intel is based on the Intel H77 Express Chipset and supports the second and third generation Intel Core processors, including Intel Core i7, i5 and other Intel processors in the LGA1155 package.
The DH77EB Desktop Board is equipped with DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-I connectors and supports flexible dual independent display for processors with Intel HD Graphics. Coupled with Intel HD Graphics, is the Lucidlogix Virtu Universal software that allows the system to simultaneously take full advantage of both the low-power, best-in-class media processing features of the second and third generation Intel Core processors and the 3D gaming performance of add-in graphics cards. It also supports Intel HD Graphics with frequency tuning to maximize visual performance. The DH77EB Desktop Board offers premium features such as dual-channel DDR3 1600* MHz memory with four connectors (32 GB** max). Moreover, it supports Intel Rapid Storage technology for RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, as well as Intel Smart Response technology, Intel HD Audio*** with 7.1 surround sound and multi-streaming. It has an integrated Intel PRO 10/100/1000 network connection for high speed and low power consumption. The DH77EB Desktop Board is designed with a wide range of 1.2 V to 1.8 V memory voltage control to maximize memory DIMM compatibility. The two onboard SATA 3.0 ports promise a new level of performance with 6.0 Gbps link speed between storage devices and the host. The two back panel Super-Speed USB 3.0 ports and one USB 3.0 onboard header for two front-panel ports address the needs of higher performance connections between the PC and increasingly sophisticated peripherals by offering a high transfer rate of 5.0 Gbps. A PCIe mini card connector is provided with support for mSATA SSD for Intel Smart Response technology.Note:
*DDR3 1600 memory is only supported by third generation Intel Core processors.**System resources & hardware require physical memory address locations that can reduce available addressable system memory. This could reduce up to 1 GB or more of physical addressable memory available to the OS & apps, depending on the system configuration & OS.***Intel HD Audio requires a system w/ a suitable Intel chipset & a motherboard w/ a suitable codec & necessary drivers installed. Sound quality depends on actual implementation, controller, codec, drivers & speakers.

Form Factor
It features MicroATX form factor.
Intel Rapid Storage Technology
It is equipped with Intel Rapid Storage technology and supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. Intel Rapid Storage technology provides new levels of protection, performance and expandability for desktop platforms. Whether using one or multiple hard drives, you can take advantage of enhanced performance and lower power consumption. When using more than one drive, additional protection is provided against data loss in the event of a hard drive failure.
Intel Smart Response Technology
Intel Smart Response technology provides a single drive volume that combines the high-performance benefits of SSDs with the large storage capacities of traditional hard drives to dramatically increase PC responsiveness and enable faster boot time*.
Note:
*Responsive performance measurements are performed using Intel Core processor, Intel Z68 Express Chipset, Intel SSD & Intel Rapid Storage technology driver. System performance improvement on platforms is configuration-dependent; as measured by PCMark Vantage tests. Boot times are measured using Microsoft Velocity v4.3 & Microsoft PwrTest (included in Microsoft WDK, for S4 times only)
