Z97 chipset with LGA 1150 socket
This ATX motherboard is built around the Intel Z97 chipset and supports 4th and 5th generation Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron processors in the LGA 1150 package. It targets enthusiasts who want a feature-rich platform for a high-end Haswell or Broadwell build.
Suits DDR3 builders; not for newer sockets
The board accepts up to 32 GB of DDR3 memory at speeds from 1066 to 3200 MHz, making it suitable for users who already own DDR3 kits or prefer that memory type. Builders planning a Skylake or later CPU must choose a different motherboard.
Three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots with flexible lane modes
The expansion layout provides three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots that can operate at x16, x8/x8 or x8/x4/x4, giving multi-GPU configurations the bandwidth they need. This lane flexibility is the key spec for deciding if the board matches a planned graphics setup.

Questions sur cet article
Which processor socket must my CPU already have to fit this board?
The board uses the LGA 1150 socket, so you need a 4th- or 5th-generation Intel Core, Pentium or Celeron processor built for that socket.
Will my existing DDR3 memory modules run at their rated speed on this motherboard?
The board supports DDR3 from 1066 up to 3200 MHz when overclocked, and it can hold up to 32 GB across the available slots.
How can I confirm the Killer E2205 network controller is active after I build the system?
Open Device Manager in Windows; the adapter will appear as Killer E2205 Gigabit Ethernet, and the driver version will be listed under its properties.
