ASUS PRIME B250M-A B Intel B250 1151 MicroATX Motherboard

Core MicroATX Board for LGA1151 Builders

This ASUS PRIME B250M-A motherboard uses the Intel B250 chipset on a MicroATX form factor. It accepts 6th and 7th Generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors in the LGA1151 socket. The board provides four DIMM slots supporting up to 64GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory at 2133 or 2400 MHz.

Suits Replacement and Budget 7th Gen Systems

It fits builders repairing an existing LGA1151 platform or assembling a cost-focused system around a 7th Generation CPU to unlock the 2400 MHz memory speed. Buyers who need an I/O shield, SATA cables, Wi-Fi antennas or driver media should look elsewhere because this unit ships board-only in a plain box.

DDR4 2400 MHz Requires 7th Generation CPU

The memory controller tops out at 2400 MHz and that ceiling is only reached with a 7th Generation processor installed; 6th Generation chips limit the memory to 2133 MHz. This single specification decides whether the board matches the performance target of the build.
