Socket and chipset
The ASUS P8H61-M LX PLUS R2.0 is a Micro ATX motherboard built around the Intel H61 chipset and the LGA 1155 socket. It accepts DDR3 memory up to 16GB. This board suits builders assembling a basic replacement system or a low-cost secondary machine.
Sustained operation
The H61 chipset runs cool enough for typical office workloads and light multitasking over long periods. The Micro ATX layout fits compact cases where airflow may be limited. It is not suited for sustained heavy compute or overclocking scenarios that demand robust power delivery.
