Socket AM3+ Micro ATX Motherboard

This ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 PLUS board uses the AMD 760G chipset and a Socket AM3+ interface. It supports up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory in a Micro ATX form factor. The package includes the board, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and an I/O back panel.

Suits AM3+ CPU owners needing a compact replacement

Builders with a compatible AM3+ processor and existing DDR3 modules can use this board for a basic system refresh. It is not suitable for newer AM4 or AM5 processors, nor for any memory type other than DDR3. The 760G chipset provides integrated graphics, so a separate GPU is optional for display output.

16 GB DDR3 maximum capacity decides fit

The board tops out at 16 GB of DDR3 across its memory slots. If your workload needs more memory than that, this motherboard will not meet the requirement. Confirm your CPU is an AM3+ model before purchasing.
