BVM motherboard utilises Intel Q57 chipset

The LV-67C is based on the Intel Q57 and supports versions of the Intel I7 high end, the I5 mainstream and the I3 entry-level 64-bit processors in the LGA 1156 socket.

The 32nm versions of the I5 and I3 have HD graphics capability with VGA and DVI output interface, the 45nm I7 and I5 versions do not.

Up to 8GB of 1,333 DDR3 memory is supported.

Intel Turbo Boost technology and Hyper-Threading technology maximises performance to the workload.

The LV-67C is well provided with I/O, it has three RS232C, one RS232/422/485, two Giga LAN and eight USB 2.0 ports.

The Q57 chipset with a Realtek ALC888 Codec supports high-definition audio, providing high-performance 7.1+2 channel high-definition audio.

It provides 10 DAC channels that simultaneously support 7.1 surround sound playback and two independent channels of stereo sound output through the front panel audio-out jack.

The four eSATA interfaces support Raid 0, 1, 5 and 10 to give maximum storage performance for data-intensive applications.

Extended interface capability includes PCIE x 16, one Mini-PCIe and one Mini-PCI sockets for add-on cards.

A programmable 8-bit GPIO interface and a 256-level watchdog timer are also provided.
