1. If someone you know  were buying this motherboard, what type of case would you need to
purchase?

Virtually all full towers can support all standard motherboard sizes, and mid towers can support ATX and
smaller motherboards.

2. What does LGA1155 tell you about this motherboard?
LGA 1155, also called Socket H2, is a socket used for Intel microprocessors
3. Does this motherboard come with a CPU installed?
YES
4. What motherboard component controls the maximum number of 3.0 USB ports this motherboard
could have?

USB PORTS

5. What processor(s) does this motherboard accept?
Celeron, Pentium, Core i3, i5, i7

6. What do you think that the letters O.C. after some of the memory chips mean in relationship to this
motherboard?

When the Motherboard says it supports 2133/2400 (OC) it simply means that is its maximum that it
will overclock to
7. What is the most significant difference between a version 2.0 PCIe slot and a version 3.0 PCIe
expansion slot?
PCIe 2.0 supports a max transfer speed of 5.0 GT/s whereas the PCIe 3.0 supports a max transfer speed
of 8.0 Giga Transfers per second
8. What does the PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 line that states “2 (single x16 or dual x8)” mean?
a. The adapter that goes into this slot can use a single lane that goes at x16 speeds or two lanes that
go at x8 speeds.
b. One single x16 adapter and/or one single x8 adapter can go into the expansion slots.
c. One x16 adapter can go into one of the version 3.0 slots and achieve 3.0 speeds or two x16
adapters can be installed, but they can transfer only eight lanes at a time at 3.0 speeds.
d. A single x16 adapter can be installed in one of the version 3.0 slots or two x8 adapters can be
installed in the two version 3.0 slots.
9. What device cable can insert into the PS/2 port? (Select the best answer.)
Mouse and Keyboard
10. Which type of video port is described as a D-sub in this documentation?

11. What is an advantage of having an integrated GPU in the CPU?
Integrated cards are more affordable than their dedicated counterparts. These graphics cards don't
generate as much heat or consume as much power, so you can save on battery life. If you use your PC
for everyday graphics processing, video editing, and word processing, an integrated GPU is certainly
up to the task.
12. What is the most likely reason this motherboard manufacturer chose to include two PCI expansion
slots?
