H81 M-ATX LGA1150 board

The Hoengager H81 is a micro-ATX motherboard measuring 215mm by 170mm and built around the Intel H81 chipset. It accepts LGA1150 processors including Core i3, i5 and i7 models such as the i3 4170 and i5 4590. Two DDR3 slots support up to 16GB of system memory. Storage connectivity comes from two SATA 3.0 ports and two SATA 2.0 ports.

Who this fits and who it does not

Builders upgrading or repairing an LGA1150 system with DDR3 memory will find the required socket and chipset here. The compact micro-ATX layout suits smaller cases and basic desktop workloads. Buyers who need more than two memory slots, more than four SATA ports or a newer CPU socket should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification — LGA1150 socket

The LGA1150 socket is the single detail that determines whether this board works for a build. It only accepts fourth-generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors plus compatible Pentium and Celeron models. If the intended CPU uses a different socket this motherboard cannot be used.

Questions about this item

Will the two DDR3 slots ever need replacing or is the 16 GB ceiling fixed?

The board has two DDR3 slots with a maximum of 16 GB; the limit is set by the chipset and cannot be raised, so only failed modules would need replacement.

What stops me adding more storage when the four SATA ports are full?

Two SATA 3.0 and two SATA 2.0 ports provide four connections total; once all are used, no further internal drives can be attached.

How hot or loud does the H81 chipset get when the system runs all day?

The H81 chipset is passively cooled and draws little power, so it stays quiet and only warm to the touch during continuous operation.
