Suitable cases: The standard Intel LGA 775 heatsink is considerably taller than most Mini-ITX boards and the DQ45EK requires up to 90W under load (depending on CPU). The Nexus Psile, Venus 669, Compucase 8K01, Compucase 8K07, Silverstone SG05 and Jou Jue NU-528i/568i 220W all work perfectly with the DQ45EK. Most standard Mini-ITX cases will not work due to power supply size.

Note: The DQ45EK uses DDR2 memory. This is not compatible with DDR memory. Fully tested DDR2 DIMMs are available here.

Processor Compatibility: The DQ45EK is *not* provided with a processor. The board supports the following socket 775 processors: Intel Celeron; Intel Pentiuml Intel Core 2 Duo; Up to 65W Intel Core 2 Quad. A full compatibility list is here.

*Heatsinks: To use this board in a low profile case (e.g. M300, M350) please use the Akasa 7106HP Low Profile heatsink. The standard heatsink provided with the CPU will fit taller cases (including Compucase 8K01/8K07, Jou Jye 526/528/568). Use the Akasa 7107BS if using a 1U chassis.
