How It Works
The board is set up around the stated LGA 1155 socket, so the CPU you choose needs to match that socket and the listed processor families. For video output through VGA or HDMI-compatible connections, the CPU also needs to support integrated graphics.
The M.2 interface is described as convertible between NVME and NGFF, so the storage format should be checked before fitting a drive. The package does not include a user manual, and the motherboard does not include a CR2032L battery.
What To Know Before You Buy
Check that your CPU is an LGA 1155 chip from the listed families before ordering. Confirm whether you want NVME or NGFF use from the M.2 interface, and make sure your memory choice matches the stated DDR3 support and 32GB maximum.
If you plan to use the onboard VGA or HDMI-compatible outputs, your CPU must support integrated graphics. The package includes a SATA cable and I/O baffle, but not a user manual or CR2032L battery.
