ASUS B85-A LGA 1150 Motherboard

This ASUS B85-A motherboard uses the Intel B85 chipset and an LGA 1150 socket to support compatible processors. It accepts up to 32GB of DDR3 memory across its DIMM slots and follows the standard ATX form factor for typical desktop cases. The board arrives new with a single SATA cable and an I/O shield included in the package.

Suits builders replacing a board in an existing

This board suits anyone repairing or refreshing a current LGA 1150 platform that still relies on DDR3 memory and the B85 feature set. Builders planning a new system with a different socket or newer memory standard should look at something else because this board is limited to the LGA 1150 interface and DDR3 technology.

Fits ATX cases and frees PCIe slots for expansion

The ATX layout fits standard mounting points and leaves room for graphics cards or other add-in boards in the available PCIe slots. Onboard SATA headers connect storage drives using the supplied cable while the rear I/O panel covers essential ports. The included metal battery maintains CMOS settings without extra parts.

Questions about this item

Which LGA 1150 processor do I need to install so the ASUS B85-A motherboard will POST?

Any Intel CPU that fits the LGA 1150 socket and is supported by the Intel B85 chipset will allow the board to start; verify the exact model against the ASUS CPU support list before purchase.

Can I keep my existing DDR3 memory modules when moving to this ATX board?

Yes, the board accepts DDR3 DIMMs up to a total of 32 GB across its memory slots, so compatible modules you already own can be reused.

How can I confirm the motherboard is operating correctly after I connect the included SATA cable and I/O shield?

Power on the system; the firmware screen should appear, the connected SATA drive must be detected in the BIOS, and the rear I/O ports should respond to attached peripherals.
