Intel C232 workstation board

This ASUS motherboard uses the Intel C232 chipset and the LGA 1151 socket to support Xeon E3 1200 V5 and sixth-generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. It targets builders assembling a workstation or server that needs ECC memory support and long-term platform stability.

Installation notes

The package includes the board and an I/O shield only; no CMOS battery, cables or manuals are supplied. Fit a CR2032 cell before first power-on, verify the CPU cooler clearance for your chassis, and update the BIOS if the processor requires a newer revision.

Pre-order checks

Confirm your chosen CPU is on the supported list for the C232 chipset and LGA 1151 socket. Ensure the power supply provides the necessary 8-pin EPS connector and that your case has the correct standoff pattern for the board form factor.
