Compatibility and related parts

You will need an LGA1700 board from our motherboards range, and the board decides whether you use DDR5 or DDR4 memory (RAM). With a maximum turbo power of 253 W, plan for a capable cooler from our CPU coolers, and remember to add a graphics card since there is no integrated graphics. The PC builder checks compatibility for you, and we assemble and test for free when you buy it as part of a PC build.
