MicroATX board for 8th- and 9th-gen Intel CPUs

This motherboard uses the Intel B360 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket to support compatible Core processors. It fits MicroATX cases and provides one full-size PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot for a graphics card. The board ships with the I/O shield only; no cables, manuals or driver media are included.

Suits budget gaming or office builds needing

Builders who want a compact foundation for a dedicated graphics card and DDR4 memory will find the layout straightforward. It is not for users who require multiple PCIe x16 slots, integrated Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, or a full accessory kit with SATA cables and manuals.

Single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot decides GPU options

Only one full-length slot is wired at x16 electrical, so a single discrete graphics card is the maximum. The board also includes one M.2 socket for storage and a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A port on the rear panel for fast peripherals.

Questions about this item

Does the single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot limit graphics-card bandwidth for multi-GPU setups?

The board provides one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, so only a single graphics card can run at full x16 speed. Multi-GPU configurations are not supported on this chipset.

How does the MicroATX layout and single PCIe x16 slot affect thermal clearance for a large cooler?

The MicroATX form factor keeps the PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot close to the CPU socket, so tall air coolers may overhang the first slot; check cooler dimensions against the board layout.

Which additional parts are required because the package contains only the board and I/O shield?

You must supply a LGA 1151 processor, DDR4 memory modules, storage drives with SATA cables, a power supply with 24-pin and 8-pin CPU connectors, and a case that accepts MicroATX.
