H61 Motherboard NVMe | LGA 1155, DDR3, M.2 NVMe

Description

The H61 Motherboard NVMe is a practical and reliable Micro-ATX motherboard designed for desktop systems based on Intel 2nd and 3rd Generation processors. It uses the LGA 1155 socket and supports Intel Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors compatible with the platform.

For memory, the motherboard features 2 DDR3 DIMM slots with support for speeds up to 1600MHz, providing a suitable configuration for everyday computing, office applications, home use, and general desktop workloads.

One of its key features is the M.2 NVMe slot, which allows installation of a compatible NVMe SSD for high-speed storage. In addition, the motherboard provides 4 SATA II 3Gb/s ports for connecting SATA HDDs and SATA SSDs. This gives users flexibility to combine fast NVMe storage with additional SATA-based storage.

For display connectivity, the motherboard includes HDMI and VGA outputs, making it convenient for systems using compatible processors with integrated graphics. It also features a PCI Express x16 slot for adding a compatible dedicated graphics card.

Networking is handled by Realtek 10/100 Mbps LAN, while Realtek 662 HD Audio provides 5.1-channel audio support. Multiple USB 2.0 ports are available for connecting keyboards, mice, printers, storage devices, and other peripherals.

With its Micro-ATX form factor, versatile storage options, and support for Intel 2nd and 3rd Generation processors, this motherboard is a suitable choice for PC upgrades, replacement systems, office computers, and budget desktop builds.
