GALAX B365M DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The GALAX B365M DDR4 Intel Motherboard is a Micro-ATX form factor board built around the Intel B365 chipset and LGA 1151 socket, offering compatibility with Intel 8th and 9th generation desktop processors. Designed with gaming and eSports workloads in mind, it pairs reliable component quality with the feature set needed to assemble a capable mid-range or entry-level gaming PC. Memory support comes through two DDR4 DIMM slots operating in dual-channel mode, accommodating speeds of 2133, 2400, and 2666 MHz with a combined capacity ceiling of 32 GB. This headroom is more than sufficient for everyday gaming, streaming, and content creation on 8th and 9th gen Intel platforms. For storage, the board provides four SATA 6 Gbps ports alongside a single M.2 slot (supporting 2242, 2260, and 2280 key-M modules) that can operate at PCIe 3.0 x4 speeds or SATA 6 Gbps, with Intel Optane memory support also listed. This combination lets builders pair a fast NVMe solid-state drive with additional mechanical or SATA SSD storage without compromise. Expansion is covered by one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot for a discrete graphics card and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot for auxiliary cards. Display output options on the rear I/O panel include VGA, HDMI, and DVI-D, making it straightforward to connect monitors when using Intel's integrated graphics. Connectivity is well-rounded: six USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports and six USB 2.0 ports are provided, along with an Intel Gigabit LAN controller for stable wired networking. Onboard audio uses the Realtek ALC662 VD codec delivering 6-channel HD audio. The board ships with a multi-phase power delivery design intended to maintain stable voltages under sustained CPU load — an important characteristic for all-day gaming or productivity sessions.
