Socket and chipset

This Micro ATX board uses the Intel H81 chipset and an LGA 1150 socket. It accepts 4th generation Intel Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, Pentium and Celeron processors. The form factor fits compact chassis while keeping essential expansion.

Memory and expansion

Dual-channel DDR3 memory runs at 1600, 1333 or 1066 MHz up to a 16 GB limit. A single PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and two PCIe x1 slots provide room for a graphics card and add-in boards. Storage connects through two SATA III and two SATA II ports.

Sustained operation

Realtek ALC887 audio delivers 8-channel output compliant with Azalia 1.0. The Realtek 8111G LAN controller handles 10/100/1000 Ethernet traffic without extra cards. Four USB 3.0 ports, split between rear and front-panel headers, maintain throughput during long file transfers.
