Socket LGA 1150 Micro ATX Board

This ASUS B85M-K PLUS motherboard uses the Intel B85 chipset and fits the LGA 1150 socket. It accepts fourth-generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. The Micro ATX form factor measures 22.6 by 17.5 centimetres. Dual-channel DDR3 memory runs at 1600, 1333 or 1066 MHz up to a 16 GB limit.

Builders needing legacy DDR3 support

This board suits builders who need a replacement LGA 1150 platform with DDR3 memory and multiple SATA ports. It is not for buyers who want more storage bandwidth than six SATA connectors provide. It is not for builders who need a second full-length graphics card slot. It is not for systems that require memory beyond the 16 GB ceiling.

Check CPU cooler clearance and power

Verify that your CPU cooler fits the Micro ATX layout and the LGA 1150 mounting holes. Confirm your power supply delivers the ATX 24-pin and 4-pin CPU connectors the board requires. Ensure your case has the I/O cut-out for the supplied rear panel. Remember the package includes only the motherboard, one SATA cable and the I/O shield.

Questions about this item

Which processor socket must my CPU have to fit this ASUS B85M-K PLUS board?

The board uses an LGA 1150 socket and supports 4th generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors built on a 22nm process with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology.

Will the single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot run at full speed if I keep an older PCIe 2.0 graphics card?

Yes, the x16 slot is backward compatible so a PCIe 2.0 card will operate at its native 2.0 speeds while the two x1 slots remain PCI Express 2.0.

How can I confirm the Realtek ALC887 audio codec is delivering 7.1 channel output after assembly?

Open the Realtek audio control panel in Windows, select 7.1 speaker configuration and run the built-in speaker test to hear a tone from each of the eight channels.
