Decenta M26-NVLS-ATX09 Motherboard Confirms Intel B960 and Q970 Chipset Support

Decenta has listed the M26-NVLS-ATX09 motherboard on its official website, signaling a move toward Intel’s latest B960 and Q970 chipsets. This listing matters because it confirms the physical availability of boards for the new FCLGA1954 platform, which supports the next generation of enterprise and workstation processors. Buyers looking to upgrade to this socket now have a concrete reference for the feature set and expansion capabilities they can expect.

Decenta lists its new ATX motherboard featuring Intel B960 and Q970 chipset support for the FCLGA1954 platform.

The board utilizes the standard ATX form factor and is built around the Intel B960 or Q970 chipset options. It features the FCLGA1954 socket designed for the new processor generation. We have seen leaks regarding the Q970 chipset earlier while tracking similar Decenta launches, but this listing provides the first clear look at a finished board design for the platform.

Specifications

• Form Factor: ATX
• Socket: FCLGA1954
• Chipset: Intel B960 / Q970
• Memory: 4x DDR5-6400 U-DIMM
• Expansion: 2x PCIe Gen5 x16/x8

Memory support comes in the form of four DDR5-6400 U-DIMM slots. For storage, the board provides two M.2 slots, with one supporting PCIe Gen5 x4 speeds. The expansion layout includes up to two full-length PCIe Gen5 slots that can operate at x16 or x8 speeds. Additional connectivity includes two PCIe x4 slots, two PCIe x2 slots, and one legacy PCI slot.

Video output options are comprehensive, offering HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA ports to support older and newer displays. Networking capabilities include two 1GbE RJ-45 ports and a header for a third network interface card. Wireless connectivity is supported via PCIe Gen4 or CNVio3 signals. The specific unit shown in shared photos appears to be the B960 variant, though this is based on visual inspection.

The M26-NVLS-ATX09 is currently listed without a confirmed price or release date. Physical images of the board were shared on social media, likely from an industrial expo. This listing establishes the baseline specifications for Decenta’s entry into the Intel B960/Q970 market.
