Intel DH77KC Overview

The Media Series DH77KC Desktop Board from Intel supports 2nd generation Intel Core i7, i5 and 3rd generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3 as well as other Intel processors in the LGA1155 package. The board is featured with DVI-I, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors and supports dual independent display for processors with Intel HD Graphics. The Desktop Board supports HD Graphics with Lucidlogix Virtu Universal software which combines media processing features of the Intel Core processor with 3D gaming performance of graphics add-in cards.

The Desktop Board also offers a PCIe mini card connector with support for mSATA Solid-State Drive for Intel Smart Response Technology.

Supports the 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core Processors in the LGA1155 Package
The Intel Desktop Board DH77KC is based on the Intel H77 Express Chipset and supports 2nd generation Intel Core i7, i5 and 3rd generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3 as well as other Intel processors in the LGA1155 package. Intel Core processors feature optimized Intel Turbo Boost Technology* and enhanced Intel Hyper-Threading Technology** which provide smarter performance and a seamless visual experience.
Note:
*Turbo Boost Technology - max single-core turbo frequency. This technology requires a PC w/ a CPU w/ Turbo Boost Technology capability. Performance depends on hardware, software & system configuration.
**Intel Hyper-Threading Technology requires a PC w/ a CPU supporting HT Technology, HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS & an OS. Performance depends on specific hardware & software used.
Dual Independent Display for Processors with Intel HD Graphics and Lucidlogix Virtu Universal
The Desktop Board DH77KC is equipped with DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-I connectors. It supports flexible dual independent display for processors with Intel HD Graphics. Coupled with HD Graphics, Lucidlogix Virtu Universal software allows the system to simultaneously take full advantage of both the low-power, best-in-class media processing features of the 2nd and 3rd generation Intel Core processors and the 3D gaming performance of add-in graphics cards.

The Desktop Board DH77KC also supports Intel HD Graphics with frequency tuning to maximize visual performance.

Premium Features
The Intel Desktop Board DH77KC offers premium features such as dual-channel DDR3 1600 MHz memory with four connectors (32 GB max), Intel Rapid Storage Technology for RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, Intel Smart Response Technology, Intel High Definition Audio with 7.1 surround sound and multi-streaming capability, as well as an integrated Intel PRO 10/100/1000 Network Connection in a low-power design.

The Intel Desktop Board DH77KC is designed with a wide range of 1.2 to 1.8 V memory voltage control to maximize memory DIMM compatibility. Two onboard SATA 3.0 ports promise a new level of performance with 6.0 Gbps link speed between storage devices and the host. Two back panel SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports and one USB 3.0 onboard header for two front-panel ports enable higher performance connections between the PC and increasingly sophisticated peripherals by offering a higher transfer rate of 5.0 Gbps. One PCIe mini card connector is provided with support for mSATA Solid-State Drive for Intel Smart Response Technology.

Intel Rapid Storage Technology
The Intel Desktop Board DH77KC features 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, users can take dual advantage of enhanced performance and lower power consumption. When using more than one drive, users have additional protection against data loss in the event of a hard drive failure. Intel Smart Response Technology provides a single drive volume that combines the high-performance benefits of Solid-State Drives with large storage capacities of traditional hard drives to dramatically increase PC responsiveness and enable faster boot time.
Ten High-Speed USB 2.0 Ports
Four back panel ports, four ports via two internal headers and two ports via PCIe mini card connector.
Ten-Channel Intel High Definition
The Desktop Board has audio* with multi-streaming capability. It also features five stack analog audio ports, one optical S/PDIF out port, an internal S/PDIF header and a front panel audio header.
Note:
*Intel High Definition Audio requires a system with an appropriate Intel chipset and a motherboard with an appropriate codec. It also requires the necessary drivers installed. System sound quality will vary depending on actual implementation, controller, codec, drivers and speakers.
One PCIe 3.0 x16 graphics connector*
Note:
*PCIe 3.0 support requires select 3rd generation Intel Core processors.
One PCIe 2.0 x1 connector
One PCIe 2.0 x4 connector
Three PCI connectors
