Operating System Support:

Requires Windows® 10 or Windows® 10 Professional Operating System to work.

Intel® Processor Support:

This ASUS Motherboard has a LGA-1151 v2 Processor Socket which supports select 8^th Gen Intel® Core™ "Coffee Lake" Desktop Processors. Even though it is a LGA 1151 Socket, pin assignments have changed, making this Motherboard incompatible with earlier Generation Intel® Processors, even those with an Socket LGA-1151 v1 design.

This Motherboard initially supports these Intel® Core™ processors, with more to follow:

• Core™ i7: i7-8700K, i7-8700
• Core™ i5: i5-8600K, i5-8600, i5-8500, i5-8400
• Core™ i3: i3-8350K, i3-8300, i3-8100
• Pentium Gold: G5600, G5500, G5400
• Celeron: G4920, G4900

1. This Motherboard only supports 8^th Gen Intel Core Processors on the LGA 1151 Socket. Pin assignments have changed, so 7^th Gen and earlier LGA 1151 socket processors will not work. Any damage to this motherboard and / or 7^th Gen and earlier LGA 1151 socket processors when used together voids the warranty of both products.
