ATX motherboard with CPU and four black DDR3 memory modules installed

Avarum

Avarum ASUS Z97-P i5-4430 32GB DDR3 1600MHz embedded solution

SKU CH-H18R-N22KM

Combines an ASUS Z97-P motherboard, Intel Core i5-4430 CPU and 32 GB DDR3-1600 memory in a single LGA 1150 kit

  • ProcessorCore i7 / i5 / i3 / Pentium / Celeron (LGA1150)
  • Memory sizeAvarum DDR3 8 GB 1600 MHz UDIMM * 4pcs
  • ProcessorIntel Core i5-4430
  • Form factorATX
  • CPU socketLGA 1150
  • Network speed10/100/1000 Mbit/s
  • Pre-installed 32GB DDR3 1600MHz memory enables immediate multitasking
  • Intel Core i5-4430 processor with Turbo Boost 2.0 delivers responsive quad-core performance
  • ASUS Z97-P motherboard supports DDR3 up to 3200MHz overclocked for future headroom
  • Dual-channel DDR3 architecture across four 240-pin slots maximises bandwidth
  • SATA 6Gb/s ports and PCIe 3.0 x16 slot provide fast storage and graphics expansion

Ready embedded platform

This combo pairs an ASUS Z97-P motherboard with an Intel Core i5-4430 processor and 32 GB of Avarum DDR3-1600 memory. The LGA 1150 platform arrives fully assembled for industrial or legacy workloads that require a tested, drop-in solution.

Sustained-load behaviour

The quad-core i5-4430 runs at a fixed 3.0 GHz base clock with Turbo Boost 2.0 disabled in many embedded BIOS configurations, so clock speeds stay constant during long compute tasks. Four DDR3 modules populate every slot in dual-channel mode, delivering stable 1600 MT/s bandwidth without overclocking headroom. The Z97 chipset and Realtek 8111GR LAN handle continuous I/O without thermal throttling on the board itself.

Pre-order checklist

Verify that your chassis accepts a standard ATX board and provides a CPU cooler mounting pattern for LGA 1150, because no cooler is included. Confirm the power supply carries a 24-pin ATX connector plus a 4-pin CPU auxiliary plug for the Z97-P. Ensure any expansion cards fit the single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot or the secondary x2 slot, and that SATA 6 Gb/s cables match the four onboard ports.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power should I expect from the Core i5-4430 when the system runs continuously?

The Core i5-4430 supports Turbo Boost 2.0, so sustained workloads will push the processor to higher frequencies and increase heat output; a suitable LGA 1150 cooler must be supplied separately because none is included.

What separate cooler do I need to run the i5-4430 on this Z97-P motherboard?

The combo ships without a cooler for either the motherboard or the i5-4430, so you must provide your own LGA 1150-compatible CPU cooler before the system will operate.

Can I keep my existing PCI and PCIe x1 cards when moving to this Z97-P board?

Yes, the board provides two legacy PCI slots and two PCI Express x1 slots alongside the primary PCIe 3.0 x16 and secondary PCIe 2.0 x16 slots.
