1.4 Processor
The board is designed to support the Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and
Intel Pentium processors in an LGA1155 socket.
Other processors may be supported in the future. This board is designed to support
processors with a maximum TDP of 95 W. See the Intel web site listed below for the
most up-to-date list of supported processors.

CAUTION
Use only the processors listed on the web site above. Use of unsupported processors
can damage the board, the processor, and the power supply.
NOTE
Use of a 95 W TDP processor requires a custom thermal solution. Pairing a mini-ITX
chassis and a 95 W TDP processor with the supplied standard Intel thermal solution
may not meet thermal requirements. Verify that your thermal solution and chassis will
meet the necessary thermal requirements. Failing to do so will cause the processor to
throttle, significantly decreasing system performance.
