- Which CPUs fit this board?
- Socket LGA1151 with the Z270 chipset, so 6th gen (Skylake) and 7th gen (Kaby Lake) Core i3, i5 and i7. Newer LGA1151 chips will not work.
- Is it good for gaming?
- It runs games fine with a discrete graphics card, but it has fewer gaming-oriented extras than mainstream Z270 boards. It is aimed more at workstation and office use.
- How much memory does it take?
- Four DDR4 DIMM slots, so up to 64GB in a typical 4x16GB configuration. Check Supermicro's memory list for validated kits.
- Does it have Wi-Fi?
- No. It has dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, so plan on wired networking or add a Wi-Fi card.
- Is it worth buying over a newer board?
- Only if you already own a 6th or 7th gen LGA1151 CPU or need Supermicro's stability. For a new build, a current socket gives a far better upgrade path.
- What form factor is it?
- Standard ATX, so it fits most mid-tower and full-tower cases with ATX standoffs.
