ASUS H81M-C LGA 1150 MicroATX board

The ASUS H81M-C is a MicroATX motherboard built for the Intel LGA 1150 socket. It accepts 4th-generation Core i5 and i7 processors and runs DDR3 memory at 1600 MT/s. The board provides USB 3.1 and SATA 6 Gb/s connectivity for storage and peripherals.

Suits 4th-gen Intel LGA 1150 repairs.

This board suits builders assembling or repairing a system around a 4th-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor. It does not fit newer CPU sockets or different form-factor requirements. Buyers needing a different socket type or a larger ATX layout should look elsewhere.

LGA 1150 socket decides compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the LGA 1150 socket, which only works with the supported 4th-generation Core i5 and i7 processors. Confirm the exact CPU model before purchase because the socket physically and electrically excludes all other processors.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the H81M-C is running after power-on?

The board will display the ASUS POST screen and beep once when the CPU, DDR3 memory and graphics are detected correctly.

What ships with the H81M-C and what must I source separately?

The motherboard itself is included; you must supply an LGA 1150 processor, DDR3-1600 modules, storage drives and an ATX power supply.

Which H81M-C variant should I pick for a MicroATX build?

Only the single MicroATX version with SATA 3.1 and USB 3.1 is offered, so choose that model.
