Hi

 

Changing a MB because RAM speed is limited may not be the best option. Are you having specific problems with this product?

 

You have a Micro ATX MB using a standard 24 pin MB PSU connection and a four pin CPU (EPS) PSU connection. You can install a new Micro ATX MB in this chassis.

 

Where do you want to go with this upgrade? The latest Intel or AMD MBs. Or do you want to stay with Intel socket LGA 1151? New tech will require a new CPU and possibly new RAM. Also your existing power supply may have to be replaced if the 24 pin connector does not reach the new MBs connection point. Your 24 pin is at the bottom of the MB. Most retail MB 24 pin connectors are at the right side of the MB.

 

Faster memory is good but does not solve all performance problems.
