Inspect the relationship between processor, memory, expansion and storage connections on an ATX motherboard.
Intel Z370 · LGA1151 · DDR4What to look for
Processor socket
Find the socket and its retaining mechanism. The board’s chipset and supported processor generation determine compatibility, not socket appearance alone.
Memory sockets
The four long DIMM sockets accept supported DDR4 modules. Their keyed openings prevent correct installation of incompatible memory generations.
Expansion and storage
Compare the long PCIe slots with M.2 positions and SATA connectors. These provide different physical connections for expansion cards and drives.
