Socket LGA 1151 (300 Series) foundation

This micro-ATX board uses the Intel B365 chipset to support 8th and 9th generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors in the LGA 1151 socket. Four 288-pin DDR4 slots accept up to 64 GB of memory running at 2666, 2400 or 2133 MT/s in dual-channel mode. A single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and two PCI Express x1 slots provide expansion room for graphics and add-in cards.

Sustained throughput on the SATA 6Gb/s interface

Six SATA 6Gb/s ports deliver consistent bandwidth for multiple hard drives or SATA SSDs during long file transfers or backups. The Realtek RTL8111H LAN controller maintains a steady 1 Gbps wired connection without throttling under continuous network load. Realtek ALC892 audio drives 7.1 channels cleanly during extended playback or recording sessions.

Practical limits of the DDR4 2666 memory standard

Memory speed tops out at 2666 MT/s, so faster DDR4 modules will downclock to this ceiling. Total capacity is capped at 64 GB across the four slots, restricting very large working sets. The single M.2 socket shares bandwidth with the chipset, so adding a drive there does not increase the peak throughput available to the six SATA ports.

Questions about this item

Will my 9th-generation Core i5 fit this socket?

The board uses the LGA 1151 (300 Series) socket, which accepts 9th- and 8th-generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors.

Can I run four DDR4 sticks at 2666 MT/s in dual-channel mode?

Four 288-pin DDR4 slots support up to 64 GB total; the chipset runs DDR4 at 2666, 2400 or 2133 in dual-channel configuration.

Does the single M.2 slot support SATA or only PCIe drives?

The M.2 slot is Intel Optane Ready, so it accepts both PCIe and SATA signalling; a SATA M.2 SSD will work alongside the six SATA 6Gb/s ports.
