LGA 1150 Micro ATX motherboard

The GIGABYTE GA-B85M-D3V is an Intel B85 motherboard built for LGA 1150 processors. It uses the Micro ATX form factor and includes Ultra Durable 4 Plus technology with a hybrid digital power engine. Dual UEFI BIOS and all solid capacitors round out the core platform.

Suits 4th and 5th Gen Core builds on DDR3

This board fits users assembling or repairing systems with 4th or 5th Generation Intel Core CPUs and existing DDR3 1333 or 1600 memory. It provides one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots and a legacy PCI slot. Builders needing newer CPU sockets or different memory types must choose another platform.

Dual-channel DDR3 limited to 16 GB

Two DIMM slots support dual-channel DDR3 at 1600 and 1333 speeds with a maximum capacity of 16 GB. This ceiling is the key specification when matching memory kits to the board.

Questions about this item

How much memory can the GA-B85M-D3V handle before it becomes the bottleneck?

The board supports a maximum of 16 GB across its two DDR3 DIMM slots running at up to 1600 MT/s.

What thermal or acoustic load should I expect from the onboard voltage regulation during all-day operation?

The hybrid digital power engine uses solid capacitors and low-RDS(on) MOSFETs to reduce heat output and keep fan speeds low under continuous load.

Which processor and memory kits must I already own to populate this LGA 1150 board?

You need a 4th or 5th Generation Intel Core CPU for the LGA 1150 socket plus DDR3-1600 or DDR3-1333 non-ECC DIMMs.
