ASUS Maximus VI Gene Z87 LGA 1150 Motherboard

This new ASUS Maximus VI Gene motherboard uses the Intel Z87 chipset and an LGA 1150 socket in a Micro ATX form factor. It supports DDR3 memory up to 32GB for compact desktop builds. The package includes the board, a metal battery, one SATA cable and an I/O back panel.

Suited for compact LGA 1150 systems needing Z87

Builders who need a larger ATX layout, more than 32GB of memory or a different CPU socket should look elsewhere. The board is sold without original packaging and includes only the listed accessories.

Questions about this item

What case clearance does the Micro ATX form factor of this Maximus VI Gene require?

The board fits any chassis that accepts a Micro ATX motherboard and has the standard I/O cut-out for the included back-panel shield.

Which step is often missed when seating the CPU in the LGA 1150 socket?

Align the notches on the processor with the socket keys, lower it straight down without pressure, then close the retention lever until it clicks.

What replaceable component keeps BIOS settings when the system is unplugged?

The included metal battery on the board maintains the CMOS; swap it when the clock drifts or settings reset after power loss.
