Socket 1155 Z77 ATX board for 2nd

The ASUS P8Z77-V LX2 is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z77 chipset and fitted with an LGA 1155 socket. It accepts 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. Four DIMM slots support up to 32 GB of DDR3 memory running at speeds up to 2400 MHz when overclocked. A single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, a second x16 slot wired at x4, two PCIe x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots provide expansion room.

Builders reusing Ivy Bridge or Sandy Bridge parts

This board suits enthusiasts upgrading an existing LGA 1155 system or assembling a budget workstation around a used processor. Integrated graphics users benefit from the HDMI output and GPU Boost feature. Overclockers gain DIGI+ VRM digital power control. Buyers needing modern connectivity such as USB 3.1, M.2 storage or newer CPU generations should select a current-platform motherboard instead.

Check CPU cooler clearance

The product ships without an I/O shield or any accessories, so verify that your case includes a compatible shield or source one separately. Confirm that your chosen CPU cooler fits the LGA 1155 mounting pattern and does not block the four memory slots. Ensure the power supply provides the standard 24-pin ATX and 8-pin CPU connectors required by the board.

Questions about this item

Which CPU socket must the processor match for this ASUS P8Z77-V LX2 board?

The board uses an LGA 1155 socket, so the installed processor must be a 2nd or 3rd Generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium or Celeron in that same package.

Will a graphics card placed in the black PCIe 2.0 x16 slot run at full x16 speed?

No, that slot is wired for x4 mode only; the blue PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 slot provides the full x16 link for a single GPU.

How can I confirm the onboard Realtek ALC887 audio is active after assembly?

Open Windows Device Manager or the Realtek HD Audio Manager and verify that the ALC887 8-channel device appears without error codes.
