Motherboards

We recommend 400-series motherboards for their simple post-installation, supported audio codecs, and network controllers.

Note: Some motherboards will not support resolutions higher than 1080p at 60hz. Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA graphics resolutions greater than 1080p at 60hz resolution require DisplayPort. NVIDIA 9xx cards with HDMI or DisplayPort will support displays to 4K at 60hz.
