Q: QuestionNo internet. I checked to see if my Ethernet cable actually worked and it did but when it went into the motherboard just, nothing I tried everything still doesn’t do anything. I would use a wifi card but the speeds with the Ethernet cable is just to good.

Asked 3 years ago by Kimmyhead.

• A:Answer If the motherboard is not able to use the ethernet port, please make sure to update the drivers to confirm if this is not a driver issue. If the driver does not fix the issue please return the product back to the retailer to request for a replacement as it could be a faulty port.

Q: QuestionWhat type of M.2 drive does this motherboard take?

Asked 4 years ago by desktop.

• A:Answer It accepts one pci-e 4.0 drive and then 2 pcie 3.0 NVME slots. If you do use all slots you will lose 2 of the 6 sata ports. which isn't a big deal if already using decent size M,2 drives. Hope this helps. Excellent board by the way, took my i7 11700k to 5.2 all core no problem.

Q: QuestionSo I don't exactly understand motherboards and chipsets or whatever, so I'm just gonna ask here. Does this motherboard come with a chipset and if not, any recommendations?

Asked 3 years ago by GuyOnTheInternet.

• A:Answer Motherboards don't come with the processor, but they have a pre-designated socket style. This particular board supports LGA1200 socket, the optimum product for this socket being the 11th Gen i9 processor. The 12th gen is not supported because it's a different style. (I believe it's LGA 1600)

Q: QuestionIs this motherboard compatible with 6 Gen processors or strictly new series?

Asked 3 years ago by JuicyBoy.

• A:Answer No, the motherboard socket has to match the cpu, so the LGA1200 is the socket type for this mobo. 6th gen intel cpu's need a LGA1151 socket so you're gonna need a board with that socket. Look for motherboards with preferably z170 chipset for the 6th gen cpu's or you could go with a z270 but anything above that will not work with your cpu. Hope this helped, happy building buddy.
