Socket and chipset

This Micro ATX motherboard uses the Intel B250 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket. It accepts 6th and 7th generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors plus compatible Pentium and Celeron CPUs. Dual-channel DDR4 memory is supported up to 32 GB at 2400 or 2133 MHz.

Expansion and connections

One PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots provide room for a graphics card and add-in boards. Storage connects through six SATA III ports and one M.2 interface. The rear panel offers four USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and two USB 2.0 ports, while internal headers add two more USB 3.1 Gen1 and four USB 2.0 connections. Gigabit LAN and 7.1 channel audio from a Realtek ALC887 codec complete the I/O.

Build fit

The board suits a compact office or home system that needs legacy LGA 1151 processor support and plenty of SATA drives. Builders wanting newer CPU generations, more than 32 GB of RAM, or multiple full-length PCIe cards should look at a different platform.

Questions about this item

Does the box include a processor, memory modules, or a graphics card, or are they separate purchases?

The package contains the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable, and the rear I/O shield. CPU, DDR4 memory, and graphics card are not included.

Should I choose DDR4 2400 or 2133 modules to reach the 32 GB limit on this B250 board?

Both speeds are supported in dual-channel mode; 2400 MHz modules will run at their rated speed, while 2133 MHz modules work without adjustment.

What does the single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot mean for a discrete GPU in a typical build?

It provides a full-bandwidth connection for one graphics card; additional expansion cards must use the two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots.
