Socket 1150 Micro ATX board

This Micro ATX motherboard uses the Intel B85 chipset and an LGA 1150 socket for 4th generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. It supports dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 32 GB at speeds of 1600, 1333 and 1066 MHz. The board provides one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 2.0 x1 slot for expansion cards.

Check CPU cooler clearance and power phases

Verify that your CPU cooler fits the Micro ATX layout around the LGA 1150 socket and that your power supply delivers the required 24-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU connectors. Confirm the case has mounting points for a Micro ATX board and that the rear I/O shield matches the supplied back panel. Ensure any existing DDR3 modules match the supported speeds.

Sustained load behaviour

The Realtek 8111G LAN controller maintains 10/100/1000 Fast Ethernet throughput during long transfers. The Realtek ALC887 audio chip delivers 8-channel output compliant with Azalia 1.0 specifications without degradation over time. Two SATA III and two SATA II ports keep consistent data rates for storage arrays under continuous use. Onboard USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports sustain rated bandwidth during extended sessions.

Questions about this item

Does the board come with a back-panel shield and a SATA cable, or do I need to source them?

The package includes a chassis I/O back panel and one SATA cable along with the motherboard and CMOS battery.

Should I pick DDR3 1600 or 1333 modules for the 32 GB limit?

Both speeds are supported in dual-channel mode; 1600 MHz modules run at their rated speed while 1333 MHz modules run at theirs, so either reaches the 32 GB maximum.

What does the single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot mean for a modern graphics card?

A graphics card will operate at PCIe 3.0 x16 bandwidth, which is the full electrical width the board provides for that slot.
