Target Platform

This motherboard uses the Intel B360 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket to support 8th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It is built for gamers and enthusiasts who want a stable ATX foundation with SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.1 connectivity.

Who It Suits

Builders planning a system around 8th Gen Intel CPUs and DDR4 memory up to 2666MHz will find the required features including DDR4 Boost for cleaner signal integrity. Anyone needing a newer socket, a different chipset series or memory speeds beyond 2666MHz should choose another board.

Deciding Specification

The LGA 1151 socket paired with the 300 Series B360 chipset determines which processors and memory kits are compatible. Matching this socket and chipset to your chosen CPU is the single factor that decides if this is the right part.

Questions about this item

What processor socket limits my CPU choice on this board?

The board uses the LGA 1151 socket and supports 8th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors.

How hot or loud does the B360 Gaming Plus get during long sessions?

The B360 chipset runs cool enough for passive cooling, so system noise depends on your CPU cooler and case airflow rather than the board itself.

Which memory kit do I need to have before this motherboard will POST?

You must install DDR4 DIMMs; the board runs them up to 2666 MHz and uses DDR4 Boost for cleaner signal integrity.
