Motherboards in Lebanon.

How to choose a motherboard

1. Match the socket to your CPU

AM5 for Ryzen 7000 and 9000, AM4 for Ryzen 5000 and older, LGA1851 for Intel Core Ultra 200S and LGA1700 for 12th to 14th gen Intel Core. A board with the wrong socket will not accept the processor.

2. Match the memory type

AM5 and LGA1851 boards use DDR5. AM4 boards use DDR4. LGA1700 boards come in both versions, usually marked D4 or DDR4 in the name, so check before you choose RAM.

3. Pick the size your case supports

ATX boards have the most slots and connections; Micro-ATX boards fit smaller cases; Mini-ITX boards suit compact builds. Check the motherboard sizes listed for your PC case.

4. Choose the chipset and features

Higher chipsets add more PCIe lanes, M.2 slots, USB ports and overclocking. Count the M.2 slots you need for NVMe SSDs, decide whether you want WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 built in, and check fan and ARGB headers if you plan a lot of cooling and lighting.

Chipsets we carry

• AMD AM5: B650 and B850 for mainstream builds, X870 and X870E for more connectivity and overclocking.
• AMD AM4: B450 and X570 for upgrades and DDR4 builds.
• Intel LGA1851: B860 for mainstream, Z890 to overclock K processors.
• Intel LGA1700: H610 and B760 for office and gaming, Z790 for K processors.

Brands and ranges

ASUS Prime, TUF Gaming and ROG; MSI PRO, MAG Tomahawk and MPG Carbon; Gigabyte DS3H, Gaming X, Eagle and AORUS; and ASRock Pro RS, Pro-A and Nova. Some boards are priced on request: add them to a build and we email a quote.

Mining and workstation boards

Alongside gaming and office boards, the range includes a few specialist models: Threadripper workstation boards such as the ASUS Prime TRX40-Pro and Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI, and Biostar TB360-BTC boards built for multi-GPU mining rigs. Check the socket and memory support on these listings carefully, as they don't take mainstream desktop processors.

Fit checks the builder runs

Beyond socket and memory, the builder checks the chipset against your processor and warns about BIOS updates, counts memory slots, M.2 slots and SATA ports, checks M.2 drive lengths, flags SATA ports shared with M.2, and warns when your case's front USB-C port has no matching header on the board.
