LGA 1150 motherboard for 4th-generation Intel Core

This ATX board uses the Intel B85 chipset and supports 4th-generation Core i5 and i7 processors in the LGA 1150 socket. It provides four DDR3 memory slots running at 1066, 1333 or 1600 speeds in dual-channel mode. The layout includes one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, one PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot running at x4, two PCI Express x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots for expansion cards.

Memory capacity and SATA headroom

The board accepts up to 32 GB of DDR3 memory across its four 240-pin slots, giving ample headroom for multitasking and older workloads. Storage connectivity includes four SATA 6 Gb/s ports plus two SATA 3 Gb/s ports, so six drives can be attached before additional controllers are needed. The single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot handles one modern graphics card, while the x4 slot and PCI slots cover extra I/O or legacy add-in cards.

Realtek audio and gigabit LAN included

Onboard audio uses the Realtek ALC887 codec with 8-channel output for surround sound without a separate card. Networking is handled by a Realtek 8111G controller delivering 1 Gbps wired Ethernet. Rear I/O supplies HDMI video (active only with a CPU that has integrated graphics), two PS/2 ports, two USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0/1.1 ports for peripherals.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR3-1333 memory work in the four 240-pin slots on this B85-G41 PC Mate?

Yes, the board supports DDR3 at 1066, 1333 and 1600 speeds across four 240-pin slots for up to 32 GB in dual-channel mode.

How can I confirm the Realtek 8111G LAN is running at 1000 Mbps after installation?

Check the network adapter status in the operating system; it should report a 1 Gbps link speed when connected to a gigabit switch or router.

Does the box include SATA cables for the four 6 Gb/s ports and the two 3 Gb/s ports?

The motherboard ships with an I/O shield and driver disc; SATA cables are not included and must be purchased separately for each drive.
