Socket & Chipset

This GIGABYTE B85-D3V-A rev 1.0 motherboard uses the Intel B85 chipset and an LGA 1150 socket. It accepts Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors that fit LGA 1150. The board follows the ATX form factor at 30.5 by 19 cm.

Memory & Expansion Fit

Two DDR3 DIMM slots support up to 16 GB of system memory. One PCI Express x16 slot runs at 3.0 x16, a second x16 slot runs at x4, and two PCI Express x1 slots are available. Four SATA III and two SATA II ports handle storage, while the rear I/O provides two USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports plus two internal USB 3.0 and four internal USB 2.0 headers.

Maximum Memory Limit

The 16 GB memory ceiling is the single specification that decides suitability. Workloads that require more than 16 GB cannot use this board. Buyers who need higher capacity should consider platforms that support larger memory configurations.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Realtek ALC887 audio is active after assembly?

Boot into the OS, open the sound control panel and confirm the Realtek High Definition Audio device lists 7.1-channel output; play a test tone on each channel to ensure all speakers produce sound.

What ships with the board and which essentials must I source myself?

The parcel contains the motherboard, one SATA cable and the rear I/O shield; you must supply a compatible LGA 1150 processor, up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory, a power supply with 24-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU connectors, storage drives and a chassis.

The spec sheet shows two PCI Express x16 slots — one at x16 and one at x4 — which should hold my graphics card?

Install the graphics card in the top PCI Express x16 slot that operates at x16 electrical; the second x16-sized slot runs at x4 and is intended for additional expansion cards.
