  • ASUS 5X Protection II safeguards components with LANGuard and overvoltage defence
  • C232 chipset on LGA 1151 socket supports compatible Intel processors
  • ATX form factor fits standard chassis for straightforward builds
  • PCI Express x16 slot provides bandwidth for discrete graphics cards
  • ASUS EPU and DIGI+ VRM deliver efficient 4-phase digital power management

Socket LGA 1151 ATX board

The ASUS E3-PRO V5 is a C232 chipset motherboard in ATX form factor with an LGA 1151 socket. It is intended for builders who need a tested foundation for a compatible desktop system. The unit is supplied as the bare board only, without an I/O shield or any cables, and it carries a 30-day seller warranty.

Suits LGA 1151 builds; not for M.2 needs

This board fits users assembling a system around the LGA 1151 platform who value the included ASUS 5X Protection II features such as LANGuard and overvoltage safeguards. Buyers who require onboard M.2 slots for solid-state storage should consider a different model because this unit has zero M.2 connectors. It also lacks bundled accessories, so anyone expecting a complete retail kit will need to source those separately.

C232 chipset with PCIe x16

The defining specification is the Intel C232 chipset paired with a full-length PCI Express x16 slot for discrete graphics or add-in cards. This combination determines which processors and expansion cards can be used, making it the key detail to verify against your build requirements.
