Avarum B85-G41 PC Mate i5-4430 32GB DDR3L embedded solution

Combo contents and target builder

This set bundles an MSI B85-G41 PC Mate motherboard, an Intel Core i5-4430 processor and four 8 GB Avarum DDR3L 1600 MHz modules for a total of 32 GB. It suits builders who want a ready-matched LGA 1150 platform with the memory already populated. The board delivers one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, two PCIe x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots for expansion cards. Six SATA ports (two 3 Gb/s, four 6 Gb/s) provide drive connectivity.

Installation notes and common issues

The motherboard and CPU are factory-stock units that may show light surface marks but have not been used or repaired; no cooler is included for either component. You must supply a compatible LGA 1150 cooler before powering on. Install the four 240-pin DDR3L UDIMMs in matched pairs to activate dual-channel mode. The board ships without original packaging in a plain box, so inspect the CPU socket pins and memory slots carefully on arrival.

Pre-order compatibility checks

Verify that your chassis accepts a standard ATX board and has mounting points for the chosen LGA 1150 cooler. Confirm that your power supply carries a 24-pin ATX connector plus a 4-pin CPU power plug. Ensure any graphics card you plan to use fits the single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and that your drives use SATA interfaces. The onboard Realtek ALC887 audio and 8111G gigabit LAN require no extra hardware.
