Z97 Anniversary LGA 1150 motherboard

This ATX board uses the Intel Z97 chipset and LGA 1150 socket to support Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors with Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. Four 240-pin slots accept DDR3 and DDR3L memory up to 3100 MT/s overclocked in dual-channel mode with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 and 4600 provide display output through onboard video.

Build quality and everyday connectivity

The board provides one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, three PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots for expansion cards. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports support RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 through Intel Rapid Storage Technology 13 and Smart Response Technology. Realtek ALC887 delivers 7.1-channel audio and an Intel I218V controller handles Gigabit LAN at 1 Gbps.

Bundled software impact

Intel Rapid Storage Technology 13 enables RAID configuration and SSD caching without additional drivers. Intel Smart Response Technology uses a compatible SSD as a cache drive to accelerate frequently accessed data on mechanical storage. The onboard video features Intel Quick Sync Video with full hardware encode for AVC, MVC and MPEG-2 plus Clear Video HD, InTru 3D and Insider technologies for media playback.
