Socket LGA 1151 (300 Series) support

This Micro ATX motherboard accepts 8th and 9th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It is not compatible with earlier LGA 1151 CPUs. The Intel B360 chipset provides a stable platform for everyday computing and office workloads.

Dual-channel DDR4 memory layout

Two 288-pin slots support DDR4 at 2666, 2400 and 2133 MHz with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. The board delivers consistent throughput under sustained workloads thanks to the B360 chipset and PCIe 3.0 lanes. A single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots handle graphics and add-in cards.

Realtek ALC887 audio and RTL8111H LAN

The onboard 7.1 channel audio codec and gigabit Ethernet controller run cool during normal operation. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports and one M.2 Key M slot supporting 2242, 2260 and 2280 drives provide storage flexibility without adding heat. Video output relies on the CPU integrated graphics via VGA and DVI-D ports.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the B360M PRO-VD run when left on all day?

The board has no active cooling of its own; temperature and noise depend on the CPU cooler, case airflow and the 9th or 8th Gen processor you install.

What must I already own for the B360M PRO-VD to work?

You need a 9th or 8th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold or Celeron CPU for LGA 1151, DDR4 memory modules up to 32 GB, a power supply with 24-pin and 8-pin EPS connectors, and a graphics card if the chosen CPU lacks integrated graphics.

Will my existing SATA drives and PCIe cards work with this B360M PRO-VD?

Six SATA 6Gb/s ports accept current drives — one port disables when an M.2 SATA SSD is fitted — and the PCIe 3.0 x16 plus two x1 slots take existing expansion cards.
