Socket and chipset

The ASUS H97M-E is a Micro ATX motherboard built around the Intel H97 chipset and the LGA 1150 socket. It accepts 4th Generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors with integrated graphics.

Memory and expansion fit

Four DDR3 DIMM slots support dual-channel memory at 1600 or 1333 MHz up to 16 GB total. One PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and three legacy PCI slots handle graphics and add-in cards, while six SATA III ports and a single M.2 connector provide storage options.

Rear I/O and onboard features

The back panel supplies one HDMI, one VGA and one DVI output for multi-monitor setups, six USB 3.0 ports, a PS/2 combo port and an Intel I218V Gigabit LAN jack. Onboard audio uses the Realtek ALC887 8-channel codec, and power is delivered through a 24-pin plus an 8-pin connector.

Questions about this item

What CPU and memory do I need to use this LGA 1150 board with its DDR3 1600/1333 MHz slots?

You need a 4th Gen Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium or Celeron processor in the LGA 1150 socket and up to 16 GB of DDR3 DIMMs running at 1600 or 1333 MHz across the four slots.

Will my existing PCI cards and SATA drives work with the three PCI slots and six SATA III ports on this H97 board?

Yes, the three PCI slots accept legacy PCI cards and the six SATA III ports connect existing SATA hard drives or SSDs at up to 6 Gb/s.

How can I confirm the integrated graphics and Intel i218V Gigabit LAN are active after assembly?

Connect a display to the HDMI, DVI or VGA port to see video from the CPU's built-in graphics, then verify the RJ45 link light and network adapter appears in the OS.
