Z87 chipset for 4th-gen Intel CPUs

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z87 chipset and an LGA 1150 socket to support 4th-generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. It targets builders assembling a new system or upgrading an existing platform that relies on DDR3 memory. The board provides a standard desktop layout with four DIMM slots and multiple expansion slots.

DDR3 memory limits and SATA storage

Four 240-pin slots accept DDR3 modules at speeds from 1066 up to 2933+(OC) with a maximum capacity of 32 GB in dual-channel mode. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports offer RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 for storage arrays. A single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, one PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot running at x4, two PCI Express x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots handle add-in cards.

Standard ATX install with BIOS update

The board follows the ATX form factor and mounts in any compatible case using regular standoffs and the 24-pin plus 8-pin power connectors. A BIOS upgrade to the latest version is applied before shipment, reducing the chance of a no-post situation with newer 4th-gen CPUs. Common issues include forgetting the 8-pin CPU power cable or seating memory in the wrong slots for dual-channel operation.

Questions about this item

Will my 4th-generation Intel Core i5 fit the LGA 1150 socket on this board?

Yes, the socket supports 4th-generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors in the LGA 1150 package.

Can I run four DDR3 modules at 1600 MHz without overclocking?

The four 240-pin slots support DDR3 1066, 1333 and 1600 natively; higher speeds such as 1866, 2133, 2400, 2800 or 2933 require overclocking.

How many SATA 6 Gb/s drives can I connect for a RAID array?

Six SATA 6 Gb/s ports are available and the chipset supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across them.
