Features

  • Intel LGA 1150 socket: The Micro ATX motherboard is powered by the H81 chipset and supports Intel 4th generation Core i3/i5/i7, Xeon E3/V3 series, Celeron G series and Pentium G series processors. (Eg. Core i7-4790K, Core i7-4770, Core i5-4670, Core i5-4590, Core i3-4170, Xeon E3-1285 v3, Pentium G3470, Celeron G1830, etc.)
  • Dual-channel DDR3 memory slots: 2 DDR3 non-ECC desktop memory slots, unbuffered, support effective frequencies of 1280/1333/1600/1866MHz, and a maximum capacity of 16GB
  • High performance interface: Support Gigabit Ethernet interface, compatible with VGA+HDMI dual output high-definition display interface. PCIe 2.0 protocol standard, X16 channel bandwidth can reach 8GB/s. NVME M.2 Slot, Realtek ALC662 audio chip, 4-channel sound card, brings you a different ultimate experience
  • The package includes: 1*SATA cable, 1*I/O baffle, 1*motherboard. The CR2032 battery on the motherboard has been removed. It is not included in the package. Please purchase it yourself. And the user manual is not included in the package. You can download the manual file on the product details page. If you don't know where to download the driver, it is recommended to use the win 10 system
  • Note: The SATA 3.0 interface and M.2 interface in this ddr3 motherboard are incompatible. If you need to use a SATA M.2 hard drive, then the two SATA 3.0 ports will not be available. If you want to use the SATA 3.0 interface, the M.2 interface will not be available. If you need to use the SATA 3.0 interface, you need to pull out the 4 black small parts on the right end of the M.2 slot and insert them into the right slot. If you need to use the M.2 slots, you don't need to move them
  • Note: If you need the motherboard to enter the BIOS, please press the "Del" key continuously after pressing the startup key. Please do not wait until the startup LOGO screen appears on the computer screen before operating, because it is already too late
  • Tip2: The CPUs of the Intel Xeon E3 V3 series are server CPUs, and most of them do not have integrated graphics. Generally, only the CPU models with the suffix "5" have integrated graphics. For example: E3-1245 v3, E3-1275 v3, E3-1285 v3, E3-1275L v3, E3-1225 v3 and other CPUs support integrated graphics. While Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 series processors almost all support integrated display, only the CPU model with the suffix "F" letter has no integrated display function, which is "ix-xxxxF"

  • Great value perfect for budget builds
Size: H61C Color: black
Worked excellent for me. Right out of the box. It is compatible with modern GPUs, also had USB 3.0 which was a nice surprise. It’s extremely simple to install, no manual needed if you have ever installed another mobo. If you are confused about what pins are what for the front panel just take a picture and ask ChatGPT. Stress tested it and no issue there either. Excellent budget build option and I will buy another in the future. ... show more

  • Dead On Arrival! JUNK! DO NOT BUY!
Size: H61C Color: black
Pros: NONE! Cons: Dead On Arrival! Tried 3 NEW power supplies, 12 sticks of RAM, 4 Different intel CPU's all of which are liested as supported by the board, 3 CMOS NEW batteries, reset CMOS, and absolutely nothing except the CPU fan spun up. No signal on 3 different monitors from VGA or HDMI, NOTHING! Dead, completely DEAD! Machinist was zero help for drivers or a manual, responded on driver question with a link to a questionable site selling a subscription to a no name and not trustworthy driver updater, very unprofessional! Conclusion: I have been building PC's as a qualified tech for 37 years and I actally know what I am doing and how to properly test hardware, si I know a Dead Motherboard when I encounter one. I am returning this useless piece of junk the day after I recieved it for a full refund, and I only wish I could charge Machinest for my wasted time as well as tying up my hard earned money whilst I wait for the return process to complete! I will never, ever buy a Machinest product again! I don't believe this motherboard was ever tested, or that it passed quality control as stated all over the box! Stay away from their products as they offer zero support and seem rather shady! ... show more

  • Nice motherboard
Size: B75 Color: greed
Great product no issues whatsoever. It works best with windows 10. I'm glad someone is still making new motherboards that can run older equipment

  • Despite bad reviews, this board works fine
Size: H81 Color: red
My son's venerable i7 MB died. In its 2015 heyday, this was a top of the line i7PC. I thought it would be a waste to dump the CPU and RAM because technology waits for no one. I saw this MB and despite what the negative reviews said, I and decided to give it a shot, if it is bad, I can always return it. Put it all back together, and it booted fine. However, I noticed in the the 16GB (8x8) RAM was only reading 4GB and it did not recognize the sata III hard drive. I swapped the 16GB DDR3 ram with another set from another manufacturer I had laying from another dead computer , tried again and this time the MB recognized the full 16GB of Ram. Ok, so there is a RAMM compatibility issue. I swapped the SSD port to port 2 and then it recognized the drive. Hmmm, bad IDE 3.0 port? No. There are four jumpers on the MB that configure the MB to use the M.2 SSD slot, but you lose one of the SATA 3 ports in doing so. The MB comes factory configured for one M.2 SSD and one regular SATA III drive. Yes, you can download the user manual from the link on the amazon item, but it sucks because the user manual does not mention anything about the SATA configuration. The configuring information is actually spelled out at the bottom of the Amazon item description Amazon, where all the manufacturer's marketing hype is usually posted. Very stupid place for it I may add. Aside from the lousy documentation, the MB appears to be solid has given this PC a new life on a budget. We'll see how it holds up in the next few months. ... show more

  • Works great!
Size: H81 Color: red
Works great for what I need it! Made a i5 4590 and gt 1030 Linux system. Despite all the bad reviews, this product worked well with me. Though the Bios is kinda barebones but that’s okay. Great value for what it is.

  • Works but took some trial and error.
Size: H61C Color: black
Bought this board to "cheaply" replace a board that got hit by lightning and keep my 2700k alive because it works fine for everyday office use and lite gaming. There are things to like about the board, the small form factor, the extra PCIx slot above the video card on a board this small was a plus and I actually needed it. Everything seemed to work right out of the box except when making it a win11 machine because 10 will be unsupported this year. I was also pleased to get it to boot off of an nvme and not have to use a 3.5 ssd. No information for bios, drivers or support anywhere on the manufacturer website. Understandable because this is older tech and outdated in a reality. While I was able to get it to Windows 11, I have been building PCs for a while and it stumped me while troubleshooting for about an hour. I would not recommend this for anyone who is new to PC building, you should be buying something newer anyhow and it was not super easy to figure out. The thing that ended up being the problem was the onboard network card is not windows 11 compatible and caused BSOD as soon as it was plugged it. I was able to buy a network card for the pcie slot above the video card and all is well. The only other thing is watch out for memory buy some decent ram as the first sticks I bought here where a very cheap brand and it would not run above 1333. Again not easy at all to find support or documentation. Corei7 2700k, 16gb ram, gtx960 yes super old specs but I didn't want to throw it away. It will now be repurposed for storage and some media center duties. ... show more

  • Do not Buy
Size: H81 Color: red
I am frustrated that I had no paperwork to go off of. Luckily I had experience building computers before and was able to get everything plugged in. HDMI port doesn’t work, VGA port doesn't work, 2 of the 4 SATA. ports are not functional. All around bad motherboard and I would just recommend that you look elsewhere for motherboards. This was just a temporary fix for an issue I had with my old motherboard and it still works (with limited storage) but the headache of getting this set up over 3 hours is not worth it and made me want to pull my hair out. Stay away! ... show more
