Socket LGA 1150 ATX board

The GIGABYTE H97-D3H rev.1.0 is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel H97 chipset for LGA 1150 processors. It accepts Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron CPUs and provides four DDR3 DIMM slots for up to 32GB of system memory.

Sustained-load behaviour

The board uses solid capacitors and a reinforced PCI Express x16 slot rated for PCI Express 3.0 x16 operation, helping the graphics card maintain full bandwidth during extended sessions. An onboard Intel GbE controller handles 10/100/1000 Mbit networking without adding extra latency under continuous traffic.

Storage connectivity mix

One M.2 interface, one SATA Express interface and six SATA III ports give a wide choice of drive configurations for the operating system, applications and bulk data. The Realtek ALC1150 audio codec supports 7.1-channel output and S/PDIF for home-theatre or headset use.

Questions about this item

How much power does the H97-D3H draw when the system runs all day?

The board uses the Intel H97 chipset and supports LGA 1150 processors up to 32 GB of DDR3; actual all-day power draw depends on the specific CPU and graphics card you install.

Which components must I already own for this motherboard to work?

You need an LGA 1150 processor (Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium or Celeron), up to four DDR3 DIMMs totalling no more than 32 GB, a graphics card for the PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, storage for the six SATA III ports plus one SATA Express and one M.2 interface, and an ATX power supply with 24-pin and 4/8-pin CPU connectors.

Will my older SATA drives and DDR3 memory work with this board?

Yes — the H97-D3H provides six SATA III ports, one SATA Express port and one M.2 interface for existing SATA drives, and four DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to 32 GB of memory.
