ASRock B460M STEEL LEGEND Intel Motherboard

This Micro ATX board uses the Intel B460 chipset and an LGA 1200 socket for 10th generation Core processors. It provides four DDR4 slots, dual-channel architecture and a 128GB maximum capacity. Two PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots and two Ultra M.2 sockets handle graphics and fast storage.

LGA 1200 socket for 10th Gen Intel Core

The LGA 1200 socket is the single specification that determines compatibility. Only 10th generation Intel Core i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors fit this socket and work with the B460 chipset. Earlier or later generation CPUs will not install or boot on this motherboard.

Steady operation with 10th Gen Intel Core

Under sustained load the board delivers power through a 10-phase VRM design and alloy chokes to maintain stable voltage. Steel-reinforced PCIe slots and M.2 heatsinks reduce thermal throttling during long rendering or compile sessions. The Realtek ALC1200 codec keeps 7.1 channel audio clean without added noise.

Questions about this item

What does the DDR4 2933 MHz rating mean once the board is installed?

Core i9 and i7 processors can run memory at 2933 MHz; Core i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron are limited to 2666 MHz. The board has four 288-pin slots supporting up to 128 GB in dual-channel mode.

How does the PCIe 3.0 interface affect the Ultra M.2 slot speed?

The primary Ultra M.2 socket (M2_1) runs at PCIe 3.0 x4, giving a theoretical 32 Gb/s bandwidth for NVMe SSDs. The second Ultra M.2 socket (M2_2) shares bandwidth with SATA3_0 when a SATA-type M.2 drive is used.

What physical space and mounting does the Micro ATX board need?

The board uses the Micro ATX form factor with an LGA 1200 socket, four DDR4 DIMM slots, two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (single x16 or dual x16/x4), one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot, two M.2 sockets (2242/2260/2280 and 2260/2280), and six SATA3 connectors.
