Processor
The board supports 6th / 7th generation Intel Core processors. Other processors may be
supported in the future. This board supports processors with a maximum wattage of
65 W Thermal Design Power (TDP).

NOTE 
This board has specific requirements for providing power to the processor.Additional
power required will depend on configurations chosen by the integrator.
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1151 socket designed for the Intel® Core™ i7/ i5/
i3 processor in the 1151-land package.


9

Your boxed Intel® Core™ i7/ i5/ i3 LGA1151 processor package should
come with installation instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink
assembly. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU
documentation, follow the latter.
Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is on
the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your retailer
immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the
PnP cap/socket pins/motherboard components. BCM will shoulder the
cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.
Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. BCM will process Return
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard
comes with the cap on the LGA1151 socket.
The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket pins
resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or
misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
Install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly before you install
motherboard to the chassis.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure
that you have properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the CPU
heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.

3.1 Installing the CPU
1.Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
2. Remove the PnP cap.
3.Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B) until it is released
from the retention tab.
To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you
are installing a CPU.
Before installing the CPU, make
sure that the socket box is facing
towards you and the load lever is on
your left.

4.Position the CPU over the socket, making sure that the gold triangle is on the top-left corner of the
socket then fit the socket alignment key into the CPU notch.
5.Pull back the load lever, then push the load lever
(A) until it snaps into the retention tab.
The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the
socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU!

3. 2 Installing the CPU Heatsink and Fan
Intel®Core™i7/i5/i3LGA1151processorrequiresaspeciallydesignedheatsinkandfanassemblytoensure
optimumthermalconditionandperformance.
Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and
heatsink assembly.
When you buy a boxed Intel®Core™i7/i5/i3LGA1151processor, the
package includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU
separately, make sure that you use only Intel® certified multi‑directional
heatsink and fan.
Your Intel®Core™i7/i5/i3LGA1151processor heatsink and fan assembly
comes in a push-pin design and requires no tool to install.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make
sure that you have properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the
CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on
the motherboard.
Orient the heatsink and fan assembly such that the CPU fan cable is closest to
the CPU fan connector.

2. Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal
sequence to secure the heatsink and fan assembly in
place.
3.Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labeled CPU_FAN.

4. System  Memory
TheDesktopBoardhastwo260-pinDDR4SO-DIMMsocketswithgold-platedcontacts.
NOTE

To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory
is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but
performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the
determined frequency.



A DDR4 SODIMM module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR3 SODIMM but has a 260-pin
footprint compared to the 204-pin DDR3 DIMM. DDR4 SODIMMs are notched differently to prevent
installation on a DDR3 SODIMM socket.
4.1 Memory Configurations
Youmayinstall4GB,8GB,and16GBunbufferednon‐ECCDDR4SODIMMsintotheSODIMMsocketsusingthe
