Questions about this item

What CPU socket must my processor match for this board?

The board uses an LGA 1700 socket, so your Intel processor must be built for that same socket to install and operate.

Can I keep my existing SATA drives when moving to this motherboard?

Yes, the board provides SATA ports and the package includes one SATA cable, so current SATA SSDs or hard drives connect directly.

How do I confirm the DDR5 memory is running at the board's supported capacity?

Enter the BIOS after assembly and verify the memory tab shows 64 GB detected across the installed DDR5 modules.
