Socket LGA 1155 uATX board for legacy Intel builds

The ASUS H61M-K pairs the Intel H61 (B3) chipset with an LGA 1155 socket supporting Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. It fits uATX chassis and provides two 240-pin DDR3 slots for dual-channel memory up to 16 GB. Onboard graphics output includes DVI and D-Sub ports driven by the CPU integrated graphics processor.

Sustained operation stays within H61 platform limits

Under continuous load the board runs within the thermal and power envelope defined by the H61 chipset and supported CPUs. Turbo Boost 2.0 engages on compatible processors while the voltage regulation and PCB layout handle typical desktop workloads without additional active cooling on the chipset heatsink.

Dual-channel DDR3 ceiling of 16 GB

Maximum supported memory is 16 GB across the two slots using non-ECC un-buffered DDR3 modules at speeds from 1066 up to 2200 MT/s when overclocked. This capacity ceiling is the single figure that determines whether the board meets a given build requirement.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power should I expect from the H61M-K and its H61 chipset when the system runs all day?

The H61 chipset is a low-power design with a modest thermal envelope, so the board itself adds little heat or draw; total consumption will depend on the LGA 1155 processor and DDR3 memory you install.

Which DDR3 modules and LGA 1155 processor must I already have for this board to POST?

You need two un-buffered non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs up to 16 GB total and any Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium or Celeron CPU in the LGA 1155 package.

Will my older PCIe 2.0 graphics card and D-Sub monitor work with the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and onboard video ports?

The PCIe 3.0 x16 slot is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 cards, and the rear I/O provides both DVI and D-Sub outputs for legacy displays.
