Choosing a motherboard
The motherboard ties the build together: it must match your processor's socket, your RAM type and your case size.
Socket
Intel 12th to 14th gen uses LGA1700; Core Ultra 200S uses LGA1851. AMD Ryzen 7000 and 9000 use AM5; older Ryzen uses AM4.
Chipset
Budget chipsets (B-series) cover most builds. Z-series (Intel) and X-series (AMD) add overclocking, more lanes and more ports.
Size
ATX gives the most slots, Micro-ATX suits mid-size cases, Mini-ITX is for compact builds. Check the case supports the board size.
Common questions about motherboards
Does a motherboard support both DDR4 and DDR5?
No, each board supports one type. AM5 and LGA1851 boards are DDR5-only; many LGA1700 boards come in separate DDR4 and DDR5 versions.
Will a new CPU need a BIOS update?
A newer processor on an older board may need one. Many boards support BIOS Flashback, which updates the BIOS without a CPU installed.
