Socket LGA 1155 Micro ATX board

The ASUS P8H61-M LX3 PLUS R2.0 is a Micro ATX motherboard built on the Intel H61 chipset for LGA 1155 processors. It accepts 2nd and 3rd generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron CPUs. Two DDR3 DIMM slots support up to 16 GB in dual-channel mode. A single PCI Express x16 slot and two PCI Express x1 slots provide expansion room. The board measures 22.6×17.2 cm and uses a 24-pin power connector.

Memory speed ceiling

DDR3 memory runs at 1066, 1333, 1600, 1866, 2000, 2133 or 2200 MHz depending on the installed modules and CPU. Dual-channel operation is supported when both slots are populated. The maximum supported capacity is 16 GB across the two slots. Choose modules that match the required frequency to avoid downclocking.

Sustained operation characteristics

The H61 chipset and simple voltage regulation handle typical desktop workloads without active chipset cooling. Four SATA II ports and ten USB 2.0 headers supply steady connectivity for storage and peripherals. Video output is limited to a single VGA port. Under continuous load the board relies on case airflow to keep component temperatures in check.
