ASUS H81I-PLUS Mini ITX Motherboard

This Mini ITX board uses the Intel H81 chipset and an LGA 1150 socket for 4th Generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. It fits compact builds that need standard desktop performance in a small footprint. Onboard video outputs rely on a CPU with integrated graphics.

Upgrade Path from Older LGA 1150 Boards

The H81 chipset adds native SATA 6 Gb/s and USB 3.0 support that earlier entry-level chipsets lacked. Moving to this board is worthwhile when you need faster storage and peripheral speeds without changing your existing DDR3 memory or processor. Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is supported on compatible CPUs.

Compatibility Checklist Before Purchase

Verify your processor is an LGA 1150 model from the 4th Generation Core or Pentium and Celeron families listed. Confirm you have DDR3 DIMMs rated for 1600, 1333 or 1066 speeds; the board holds two 240-pin slots up to 16 GB total in dual-channel mode. Ensure your case accepts a Mini ITX form factor and that your power supply provides the required ATX connectors.
