GIGABYTE B150M-DS3P rev.1.0 Intel motherboard

Micro-ATX board for LGA 1151 builds

The GIGABYTE B150M-DS3P rev.1.0 is a Micro-ATX motherboard that accepts Intel LGA 1151 processors including Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron models. It uses the Intel B150 chipset and provides four DDR4 DIMM slots for system memory. The board measures 22.6 by 20.3 centimetres and fits standard Micro-ATX chassis.

64 GB DDR4 ceiling

Maximum supported memory is 64 GB across the four DDR4 slots, which is the single figure that determines whether this board meets a build's capacity target. The chipset runs memory at standard DDR4 speeds without overclocking profiles. Populating all four slots reaches the 64 GB limit for workloads that need larger datasets in RAM.

Steady throughput on B150

Under sustained load the Intel B150 chipset maintains consistent PCI-E 3.0 and SATA III bandwidth for the single x16 slot, two x1 slots, one M.2 interface and six SATA III ports. The onboard Intel GbE controller delivers stable 10/100/1000 Mbit network throughput while the Realtek ALC887 codec handles multichannel audio without throttling.
