Z68 PRO3 Motherboard - High-Performance ATX Socket LGA1155

The ASRock Z68 PRO3 is a high-performance ATX motherboard designed for users seeking a balance between advanced features and reliability. It is built around the Intel Z68 chipset and supports the LGA1155 socket, making it compatible with second-generation Intel Core i7, i5, and i3 processors. This motherboard is ideal for users who want to take advantage of Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, Hyper-Threading, and the ability to use unlocked K-series CPUs for overclocking. The Z68 chipset also provides support for a wide range of storage and connectivity options, making it suitable for both gaming and productivity setups.

The motherboard features a robust memory configuration with four DDR3 DIMM slots, supporting speeds up to 2133 MHz (overclocked) and offering a maximum capacity of 32GB. This makes it well-suited for multitasking and applications that require large amounts of RAM. The integrated Intel HD 2000/3000 graphics controller provides basic onboard video capabilities, with a maximum shared memory of 1759MB, which is sufficient for casual multimedia use but not for high-end gaming or professional graphics work.

For storage, the ASRock Z68 PRO3 offers a combination of SATA2 and SATA3 ports, allowing users to connect multiple hard drives or solid-state drives. The inclusion of RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support provides flexibility in configuring storage arrays for performance or redundancy. Additionally, the motherboard includes USB 3.0 ports for faster data transfer speeds, which is beneficial for users working with large files or external storage devices.

Audio and networking capabilities are also well-featured on this motherboard. It includes a Realtek ALC892 7.1-channel HD audio codec, delivering high-quality sound output suitable for music production or immersive gaming experiences.
