Socket LGA 1150 Micro ATX board

The ASUS B85M-V5 PLUS is a Micro ATX motherboard built around the Intel B85 chipset for LGA 1150 processors. It provides dual-channel DDR3 memory slots supporting speeds up to 1600 MHz and a maximum capacity of 16 GB. The board measures 22.6 by 18.0 cm and includes four SATA III and two SATA II ports for storage expansion.

Refurbished unit for legacy repairs

This listing is for a refurbished motherboard rated between 70 and 80 percent new, so visible signs of prior use are present. It ships without original packaging and includes only the board, a metal battery, one SATA cable and the rear I/O shield. Buyers needing a pristine retail box, a full accessory kit or a warranty from the original manufacturer should look elsewhere.

Dual-channel DDR3 16 GB limit

The decisive specification is the 16 GB ceiling on dual-channel DDR3 memory across the two DIMM slots. If the intended build requires more than 16 GB of RAM, this motherboard cannot support it and a different platform must be chosen.

Questions about this item

Will the 16GB DDR3 memory limit require a full platform change when I need more RAM?

The board caps at 16GB across two DDR3 slots, so exceeding that limit means moving to a newer socket and memory generation.

What sustained-load bottleneck appears first with the B85 chipset and four SATA III ports?

The chipset shares a single DMI 2.0 link to the CPU, so heavy simultaneous SATA III traffic will saturate that upstream bandwidth before individual drives hit their ceiling.

How loud and hot does the passive B85 heatsink get when the system runs all day?

The B85 PCH runs cool enough for fanless operation; the included heatsink stays warm to the touch but adds no audible noise during continuous use.
