LGA 1155 Z77 micro-ATX board

This LGA 1155 motherboard uses the Intel Z77 chipset in a micro-ATX layout. It is sold as a tested, working unit with an I/O shield and no original packaging. The board targets enthusiasts building or repairing an 1155-platform system who need a compact Z77 foundation.

Enthusiast 1155 builds only

Builders who need a compact Z77 board for an existing LGA 1155 CPU will find this a direct fit. Buyers wanting a newer socket, a different form factor, or a board with original accessories should look elsewhere. The 60-day warranty covers basic function but not long-term ownership.

LGA 1155 socket constraint

The LGA 1155 socket is the single specification that decides compatibility. Only processors made for that socket will install and operate on this board. No other CPU generation or socket type is supported by this hardware.

Questions about this item

What speed does the SATA 6Gb/s interface cap at in practice?

The board provides SATA 6Gb/s ports that run at up to 6 Gb/s per drive.

What does the Micro ATX form factor require to fit or mount?

It needs a case with Micro ATX standoffs and an I/O cut-out that matches the supplied shield.

How is the board installed, and what step do people often get wrong?

Mount the I/O shield first, align the standoffs, then seat the board; many forget the shield until after the board is screwed down.
