ECS'
Z77H2-A2x motherboard supports DDR3-2667(OC)/1600/1333/1066 memory in a dual channel configuration. The largest
memory density for 64-bit operating systems is 32GB, for Windows 32-bit you're capped
at 4GB max.
In this corner of the gold and black motherboard we find a set of voltage read points
for Vcore, Dimm, IMC, PPT, VAXG and GND. The board comes with no fewer
than three fan headers, though only one is a 4-pin PWM type.

Like all Intel Z77 platforms, the ECS Z77H2-A2X
motherboards supports both 32nm 2nd Gen. Intel Core i3/i5/i7 'Sandy
Bridge' processors and 22nm 3rd Gen. Intel Core i3/i5/i7 'Ivy Bridge' socket LGA1155 processors.
Socket LGA1155,
in gold!

One other
neat feature ECS has added to this motherboard is built in 802.11n wireless and
Bluetooth 2.4. These devices are integrated into the rear I/O, occupying two USB ports as they essentially
are fixed USB devices.
While USB 2.0's
480Mb/s maximum bandwidth is fine for smaller thumb drives, USB 3.0 expands that bandwidth
to a massive 4.8Gb/s - much better for moving +1GB files!
Overclocker Tools
Along with a Port 80 card by the front panel
I/O, enthusiast overclockers are provided with a set of voltage read points on
the ECS Z77H2-A2X motherboard. The six voltage read points include: Vcore, CPUVtt,
VSA, CPUPll, VDimm, DDRVtt and PCIIO.
