Question 1

Can it work with only a single stick of RAM?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can.

However, installing two memory modules allows you to take advantage of the Dual Channel Memory Architecture. A single memory module has a 64-bit data channel to the CPU. Using two modules and having Dual Channel enabled allow the motherboard to move 128-bits of data to the CPU.

Question 2

is this product wireless?

Accepted Answer

No, this product does not have wireless capabilities. You will need to buy a separate wifi antenna to use wifi. It does, however, have a fully functional ethernet port.

Question 3

Does this come with all the cables to power the motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Motherboards usually don't and this is no exception! All of the cables come with a power supply supply unit or "PSU."  I bought a EVGA 650 GOLD from here and that works beautifully to power my system. You'll probably want to go with a "modular" PSU if you're worried about cable management, but I'd research the different types of PSU's before you buy, because while 90% do come with all the cables for your computer, a couple don't!

Question 4

Will this motherboard support I5-7600K CPU?

Accepted Answer

I believe so, I ordered an i5 7400 CPU with it and it works great.

Question 5

would this work with a 288 pin ram card?

Accepted Answer

This motherboard uses 288 pin DDR4 memory. I happen to use 
Ballistix Sport LT 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Memory Model BLS2K8G4D240FSB, but there are other manufacturers that also produce this type of memory.

Question 6

Does it work with i5-6400k?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the GIGABYTE GA-B250-HD3 motherboard supports the Intel Core i5-6400k processor as it is a 6th generation Intel Core i5 processor, and the motherboard is compatible with 6th and 7th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processors.

Question 7

does this motherboard support TPM 2.0?

Accepted Answer

I am also looking for an anser, I hope someone can chime in.

Question 8

This board installed without a problem.  I'm trying to install 6 video cards, 4 work fine, but the 5th and 6th PCI slots don't seem to accept a GPU riser or graphic cards.  Can I use 6 GPUs with this board?

Accepted Answer

No

Question 9

does this fit into a full or mid tower atx?

Accepted Answer

Yes this will fit either a full tower or a mid tower. It will not fit a mini Atx case

Question 10

Does Gigabyte B250 HD3 come with screws to install M.2 SSDs?
