1.3 Processor
The board supports 3rd generation Intel Core processor family and 2nd generation Intel
Core processor family processors.
Other processors may be supported in the future. This board supports processors with
a maximum wattage of 95 W Thermal Design Power (TDP). The processors listed
below are only supported when falling within the wattage requirements of Intel
Desktop Board DH77DF. See the Intel web site listed below for the most up-to-date
list of supported processors.
For information about… Refer to:
Supported processors http://processormatch.intel.com
CAUTION
Use only the processors listed on the web site above. Use of unsupported processors
can damage the board, the processor, and the power supply.
NOTE
This board has specific requirements for providing power to the processor. Refer to
Section 2.5.1 on page 62 for information on power supply requirements for this board.
NOTE
Use of a 95 W TDP processor requires a custom thermal solution. Pairing a mini-ITX
chassis and a 95 W TDP processor with the supplied standard Intel thermal solution
may not meet thermal requirements. Verify that your thermal solution and chassis will
meet the necessary thermal requirements. Failing to do so will cause the processor to
throttle, significantly decreasing system performance.

1.3.1 Graphics Subsystem
The board supports graphics through either the processor Intel HD Graphics or a PCI
Express x16 add-in graphics card.
1.3.1.1 Processor Graphics
The board supports integrated graphics through the Intel®Flexible Display Interface
(Intel®FDI) for processors with Intel HD Graphics.
NOTE
If using a processor with integrated graphics, the board will support only two of the
integrated graphics interfaces simultaneously: DisplayPort, DVI-I, HDMI. Also, during
the Power On Self Test (POST), the board will not output to the DisplayPort if DVI-I or
HDMI is used concurrently with DisplayPort.
1.3.1.1.1 Intel®High Definition (Intel®HD) Graphics

1.3.1.2 PCI Express x16 Graphics
3rd generation Intel Core processor family processors support PCI Express 3.0, 2.x,
and 1.x and 2nd generation Intel Core processor family processors support PCI
Express 2.x and 1.x:
•PCI Express 3.0 with a raw bit rate of 8.0 GT/s results in an effective bandwidth of
1 GB/s each direction per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth of the x16
interface is 16 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, for a total bandwidth of
32 GB/s.
•PCI Express 2.x with a raw bit rate of 5.0 GT/s results in an effective bandwidth of
500 MB/s each direction per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth of the x16
interface is 8 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, for a total bandwidth of
16 GB/s.
•PCI Express 1.x with a raw bit rate of 2.5 GT/s results in an effective bandwidth of
250 MB/s each direction per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth of the x16
interface is 4 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, for a total bandwidth of
8 GB/s.

1.4 System Memory
The board has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
•1.5 V DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs with gold plated contacts, with the option to raise the
voltage to support higher performance DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs.
•1.35 V Low Voltage DDR3 DIMMs (JEDEC specification)
•Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
•Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
•16 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology). Refer to
Section 2.1.1 on page 43 for information on the total amount of addressable
memory.
•Minimum recommended total system memory: 1 GB
•Non-ECC DIMMs
•Serial Presence Detect
•DDR3 1600 MHz, DDR3 1333 MHz, and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
Note: DDR3 1600 MHz DIMMs are only supported by 3rd generation Intel Core
processor family processors
•XMP version 1.3 performance profile support for memory speeds up to 1600 MHz
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory
is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but
performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the
determined frequency.
