Hello,
I have purchased the151-IB-E699-KR motherboard and I was wondering about vt-d support. I think the z77 chipset supports vt-d but can you enable it in the BIOS of this motherboard?
Thanks,
KM

Hi KetMR,
Can you please let me know what CPU you are using?
Thank you,

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. I will be using a Xeon 1230v2 Ivy Bridge, although I am holding off on purchasing the processor until I know I will have the features I need. Thanks, KM

VT-d support is primarily dependent on the CPU, the Xeon 1230v2 does indeed support VT-d. You can see Intel's spec sheet here. Regards,

Yes, vt-d was one of the primary reasons for choosing the processor in addition to hyper-threading. I will be using this motherboard for an ESXi whitebox build and vt-d will be used to pass various devices to a number of virtual machines. I'm glad this board will suit that need.
Thanks,
KM

I've been searching and I cannot find anywhere that says that z77 ftw supports vt-d. I understand the the CPU must support it as well but some motherboards, like ASUS, do not have vt-d (Pass-through/Direct I/O). Does anyone know if z77 FTW has vt-d?

I had this same question so I asked EVGA support and they told me that the board will support VT-d if the processor does but it will not support ECC. Intel is tricky about what processors support VT-d.

Thanks man. It's the non-K versions that support it. Like i7 3770 supports vt-d.

Yes. The K versions do not support Vt-d. If you are looking at an i7 series processor you should check out a Xeon 1230v2 or 1235v2 if you need IGP. The 1230v2 is cheap and has Vt-d, ECC, and HT support.
