Socket LGA 1155 Platform Board

The GIGABYTE GA-P61-DS3-B3 is an Intel H61 Express motherboard built for LGA 1155 processors. It accepts second generation Core i7, i5 and i3 CPUs as well as Pentium and Celeron models in the same package. The board provides two 1.5V DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to 16 GB of dual-channel memory at 1333, 1066 or 800 MHz.

Replaces Older LGA 1155 Boards With B3 Stepping

This model upgrades earlier 6 series boards by using the newer B3 stepping chipset and a four-phase CPU power design. The all solid capacitor layout and DualBIOS protection add reliability for long-term use. The jump is worth it when a system needs 3 TB plus hard drive boot support or improved USB power delivery for connected devices.

Standard ATX Installation With Legacy Slots

The board fits a standard ATX chassis and uses a single PCI Express x16 slot running at x16 plus two x1 slots all conforming to the 2.0 standard. Three conventional PCI slots remain for older add-in cards. Builders should verify CPU cooler clearance against the solid capacitor array and confirm memory modules are on the qualified vendor list to avoid boot issues.
