LGA 1150 ATX motherboard

The ASUS H81-GAMER is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel H81 chipset and the LGA 1150 socket. It accepts 4th-generation Core i3, i5 and i7 processors as well as Pentium and Celeron models. Four DDR3 DIMM slots run at 1066, 1333 or 1600 MHz in dual-channel mode.

Expansion and storage layout

One PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and three PCI Express x1 slots handle graphics and add-in cards. Three legacy PCI slots are also present. Storage connects through two SATA III and two SATA II ports. Rear I/O supplies two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, VGA, DVI-D, PS/2, Gigabit Ethernet and 7.1-channel audio.

DDR3 memory ceiling

The four unbuffered non-ECC DIMM sockets support DDR3 up to 1600 MHz. This memory standard and speed ceiling are the deciding factor when matching the board to a CPU and existing RAM kit.
