Socket LGA 775 platform

This ASUS P5Q-E motherboard is built around the Intel P45 chipset and the LGA 775 CPU socket. It supports DDR2 memory up to a maximum of 16 GB and fits standard ATX cases. The board is supplied new with a chassis I/O back panel and one SATA cable.

Builders working with legacy Core 2 components

It suits enthusiasts assembling or repairing systems that require the LGA 775 interface and DDR2 memory. It is not suitable for buyers who need a different CPU socket, higher memory capacities than 16 GB, or memory types other than DDR2.

16 GB DDR2 ceiling

The decisive specification is the 16 GB maximum memory limit imposed by the chipset and board design. If the intended workload demands more than 16 GB of system memory, this motherboard cannot meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What memory standard and maximum capacity does the P45 chipset on this board support?

The board uses DDR2 memory and accepts up to 16GB across its slots.

What case form factor and CPU cooler clearance should I plan for with this ATX motherboard?

It fits standard ATX cases with LGA 775 mounting holes for compatible coolers.

How do I install the board and which step is most often missed?

Mount the board using ATX standoffs, fit the supplied I/O shield, connect the 24-pin and 4-pin power cables, then attach the included SATA cable — many builders forget the I/O shield until the board is already secured.
