Memory support
Memory support	DDR4; 2 memory channels; up to 2667 MT/s	Two channels of DDR3-1066/1333. Optional maximum memory capacity and bandwidth are omitted because the retired exact-model specification page could not be read.
PCIe
PCIe	PCIe 3.0 x16	16 processor PCIe 2.0 lanes, configurable as one ×16 or two ×8 graphics links. A separate DMI link connects the processor to the chipset.

Cooler
Cooler	AMD Wraith Stealth in the boxed and multipack versions; Tjmax 95°C	LGA1156 platform, distinct from LGA775 and LGA1366. Intel's 8 September 2009 notice names the 750 and says the new processors and P55 chipset are available that day. Cooler inclusion and package temperature are omitted where maker evidence is unavailable.
