Features

Key Selling Points

• LGA1700 socket compatible with Intel Core 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen processors as well as Pentium Gold and Celeron models
• Compact Micro-ATX design ideal for smaller desktop cases without sacrificing build quality
• Dual DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 96GB of memory with Intel XMP profile support

System Build Foundation
If you are tired of oversized boards that dictate your case choice, this Micro-ATX layout offers a streamlined solution. It makes it easier to assemble an everyday desktop without paying for more board capacity than is actually needed. For anyone assembling a budget-conscious Intel system, it provides a straightforward way to keep the build simple and manageable.

The design includes two DDR4 memory slots that let you equip the board with standard DDR4 modules, which is a sensible choice if you are building on a budget or reusing compatible memory from previous upgrades. The single M.2 slot gives you a dedicated place to install modern NVMe storage, helping your system boot and load applications more responsively than older SATA-based approaches.

For connectivity needs, the board supports PCIe 4.0 expansion standards for current-generation components as your requirements evolve. At the back panel, users get fast external drive support via USB 3.2 Gen 1 alongside standard ports for keyboards and mice, creating a simple yet practical mix for a working desktop environment.
