ASUS B85M-G PLUS/USB3.1 LGA 1150 Motherboard

This is a Micro ATX Intel motherboard built on the B85 chipset and equipped with an LGA 1150 socket. It supports DDR3 memory up to 32 GB and includes a SATA cable and I/O shield. The unit is supplied new without original packaging.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This board suits builders replacing a failed LGA 1150 board or assembling a basic office system with existing DDR3 modules and a compatible processor. It is not for buyers who need a newer CPU socket, memory types other than DDR3, or expansion options beyond the Micro ATX form factor.

The deciding specification

The LGA 1150 socket determines whether this motherboard fits your processor; only CPUs designed for that socket will install and function. The B85 chipset and 32 GB DDR3 limit define the platform ceiling.
