Socket LGA 1150 Z97 board

The ASUS Z97M-PLUS is a Micro ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z97 chipset and the LGA 1150 CPU socket. It supports DDR3 memory up to a maximum of 32 GB, making it a compact platform for 4th- and 5th-generation Intel Core processors.

Builders keeping an LGA 1150 system

This board suits anyone replacing a failed Z97 motherboard or assembling a compact DDR3-based build where the 32 GB ceiling is sufficient. It is not suited for anyone needing a full-size ATX layout, more than 32 GB of system memory, or a CPU socket other than LGA 1150.

32 GB DDR3 limit

The hard ceiling of 32 GB DDR3 is the single specification that decides whether this motherboard fits the intended system; if the build requires more memory or a newer memory standard, a different platform must be chosen.
