H81 micro-ATX motherboard for LGA 1150 CPUs

The Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2PH is a micro-ATX board built on the Intel H81 chipset. It supports 4th generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors in the LGA 1150 package. The board provides DDR3 memory slots rated for 1600 and 1333 speeds. It includes HDMI output capable of 4K Ultra HD resolution alongside a standard VGA connector.

Entry builds needing legacy I/O and 4K video

This board suits builders assembling a basic office or home system who value the inclusion of PS/2, serial and parallel ports for older peripherals. The single HDMI port drives a 4K display without a discrete graphics card. It is not for users who need more than two memory slots or multiple PCIe x16 slots for expansion cards. Buyers requiring USB 3.1 or Type-C connectivity should look elsewhere.

Two DDR3 slots maximum 1600 MT/s

The motherboard offers only two DDR3 DIMM sockets with a top speed of 1600 MT/s. This limits total system memory capacity and maximum bandwidth compared to four-slot designs. Check your intended memory kit density and speed against this two-slot 1600 MT/s ceiling before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the H81 or H81M-S2PH version?

The model name is GA-H81M-S2PH; H81 refers to the Intel H81 chipset on this single board, so there is no separate H81-only variant to choose between.

What does the LGA 1150 socket mean for my CPU choice?

The LGA 1150 socket accepts 4th generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron processors; LGA 1155 CPUs will not fit.

How fast is the USB 3.0 port in practice?

The USB 3.0 interface runs at up to 5 Gb/s, so real-world transfer speeds are limited by the connected drive and system overhead rather than the port itself.
