DDR4-2400 and DDR3L-1600 dual-channel memory limit

Memory support is limited to DDR4 at 2133 or 2400 MT/s and DDR3L at 1333 or 1600 MT/s running at 1.35 V. The integrated memory controller provides two channels. PCI Express connectivity is restricted to revision 3.0. The integrated graphics can drive a maximum display resolution of 4096 x 2304.

LGA 1151 installation with standard cooler included

The boxed processor ships with a stock cooler that mounts directly onto the LGA 1151 socket using push-pin fasteners. Apply a pea-sized amount of thermal paste if the pre-applied pad is missing or damaged. Ensure the motherboard BIOS is updated to a version that supports 7th Generation Kaby Lake CPUs before installation. Bent socket pins on the motherboard are the most common cause of a no-post condition.
