Compatibility
Core Ultra 200S processors on LGA 1851 only, such as the Core Ultra 5 225K, Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 9 285K. It does not accept 12th to 14th Gen chips (LGA 1700) and takes DDR5 only. Most LGA 1700 coolers fit, since the mounting holes are the same.
FAQ
Does it support 14th Gen Intel CPUs?
No. LGA 1851 supports Intel Core Ultra 200S (Series 2) processors only.
What is the maximum memory speed?
Up to 8800MT/s with overclocking and 6400MT/s at JEDEC, across four DDR5 slots for up to 256GB.
Does it have Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth?
Yes. Intel Wi-Fi 7 on 2.4/5/6GHz up to 5.8Gbps, Bluetooth 5.4 and a magnetic EZ Antenna, plus 2.5G wired LAN.
