Socket LGA 1150 Micro ATX board

The ASUS B85M-K PLUS is a micro ATX motherboard built around the Intel B85 chipset for LGA 1150 processors. It supports DDR3 memory up to a 16 GB capacity and includes one SATA cable plus the rear I/O shield in the package. The board is sold new without original retail packaging.

Builders refreshing an LGA 1150 platform

This board suits anyone restoring or assembling a system that uses the LGA 1150 socket and DDR3 memory within the 16 GB limit. Buyers who need a newer socket, a different memory type or a larger form factor should look at other options. The lack of original accessories may also matter if you expect a full retail bundle.

16 GB DDR3 memory ceiling

The maximum supported memory is 16 GB of DDR3, which decides whether this board fits your planned configuration. If your build requires more memory than that, this motherboard will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install this motherboard in a Micro ATX case and which step is often missed?

Align the board with the standoffs, secure it with screws, connect the 24-pin and 4-pin power cables, attach the front-panel headers, then fit the supplied I/O shield before tightening everything down.

What maintenance or replacement will this board need later?

The SATA cable can wear from repeated drive swaps; keep a spare cable on hand and inspect the connectors for bent pins during any hardware changes.

What limit appears first under sustained load on this LGA 1150 board?

The 16 GB DDR3 ceiling is reached before the chipset or voltage regulators become a bottleneck, so memory capacity caps performance in heavy multitasking.
