Ready-to-run LGA 1150 platform

This combo bundles an ASUS Z97-P motherboard, an Intel Core i5-4570 processor and four Avarum 8 GB DDR3-1600 UDIMMs for a total of 32 GB. The parts arrive tested and assembled so builders can install the board, attach a cooler and power on without sourcing separate components. It suits repair jobs, legacy upgrades or budget workstations that still rely on the LGA 1150 socket.

DDR3 memory ceiling and PCIe lane limits

The Z97 chipset supports DDR3 up to 3200 MT/s when overclocked, yet the supplied modules run at 1600 MT/s and the board tops out at 32 GB across four slots. Only one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot operates at full width; the second x16 slot is wired for x2 speed, so multi-GPU setups lose bandwidth. Two PCIe x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots remain for add-in cards.

Cooler clearance and power delivery check

Neither the motherboard nor the processor includes a cooler, so a compatible LGA 1150 heatsink must be sourced separately. The board draws auxiliary power through a 4-pin CPU connector and a 24-pin ATX connector; verify that the power supply provides both. Rear I/O includes HDMI for the integrated graphics, four SATA 6 Gb/s ports and Gigabit LAN via the Realtek 8111GR controller.

Questions about this item

Which memory kit matches the board's top native speed?

The included 4 × 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz modules run at the highest non-overclocked rate the Z97-P supports without BIOS changes.

What does the 32 GB DDR3 1600 MHz total mean for daily workloads?

Four populated slots give 32 GB in dual-channel mode, the maximum capacity the board allows, so multitasking and virtual machines run without paging.

How do the two PCIe x16 slots differ in bandwidth?

The grey slot is PCIe 3.0 x16 for a graphics card; the black slot is PCIe 2.0 x2, suited for capture cards or extra storage controllers.
