LGA 1200 Socket Motherboard


Asus ROG Maximus XIII Extreme (Socket LGA 1200) DDR4 EATX Motherboard

Build a phenomenal gaming PC with an Intel LGA 1200 socket motherboard, designed to facilitate Intel Comet Lake and Rocket Lake processors in a range of chipsets. LGA 1200 motherboards support a wide variety of modern features, such as DDR4 memory at various capacities and speeds. Furthermore, many LGA 1200 socket motherboards offer PCIe Gen 4 connectivity, with at least one 1x16 expansion slot and one or more M.2 NVMe ports, while the other slots use the PCIe 3 standard. Thanks to this, you can enjoy optimal performance from your powerful GPUs and blazing fast SSDs. What’s more, an LGA 1200 motherboard offers phenomenal connectivity, including Thunderbolt 4, USB 20Gbps, Wi-Fi 6, and 2.5G ethernet. As many Intel CPUs are equipped with onboard graphics, an LGA 1200 socket motherboard may also feature a display output, making them ideal for budget gaming PCs.


LGA 1200 Technologies

The launch of the Intel LGA 1200 socket coincided with the advent of technology advancements, which required an upgrade from the 115x socket to a 1200 pin design. This is because they needed to provide extra connectivity and power delivery to the CPU. Some of the technologies that first appeared with the Intel 1200 socket were:

  • Wi-Fi 6 The 802.11ax wireless connectivity standard was first introduced with higher end 10th Gen Intel motherboards, such as the H470, B470, and Z490. This version of Wi-Fi added the 6GHz band and improvements to connectivity in crowded locations.
  • PCIe 4.0 PCI Express Gen 4 was utilised in the second generation of LGA 1200 motherboards. All models were equipped with at least a single 1x16 slot compatible with PCIe Gen 4. This standard offered double the data transfer speed and bandwidth compared to the previous generation.
  • USB 20Gbps The 500 Series LGA 1200 socket motherboards saw the introduction of the 20Gbps capable USB ports at the consumer grade. Previously known as SuperSpeed USB, this standard facilitates up to 20Gbps transfer speeds.
