ASUS TUF Gaming H570‑PRO motherboard and its key specs 👇
🛠️ **** – Intel H570 ATX Motherboard
📌 General Overview
Socket: Intel LGA1200 (for 10th & 11th Gen Intel Core / Pentium / Celeron CPUs).
Chipset: Intel H570 — mid‑range chipset supporting PCIe lanes, robust storage, and connectivity.
Form Factor: ATX (305 × 244 mm).
PCIe: PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 (from CPU) + additional PCIe 3.0 slots.
🧠 Memory (RAM)
Type: DDR4 only — this board does not support DDR3.
Slots: 4 × DIMM.
Max Capacity: Up to 128 GB.
Supported Speeds (OC): up to DDR4‑5000 and many common DDR4 frequencies (e.g., 2133, 2400, 2666, 2933, 3200, 3600 etc.).
Memory Architecture: Dual‑channel support and Intel XMP/OptiMem II for better stability/performance with high‑speed kits.
👉 Important: DDR3 RAM modules (like your G.Skill 2 GB DDR3) will not work on this board because DDR3 and DDR4 are incompatible in both pin layout and electrical signaling.
