Socket LGA 1150 micro-ATX board

The MSI H81M PRO-VH is a micro-ATX motherboard built around the Intel H81 chipset for LGA 1150 processors. It accepts 4th generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium and Celeron CPUs. The board targets budget desktop builds and office upgrades that need a compact form factor.

Dual-channel DDR3 up to 16 GB

Memory runs in dual-channel mode at 1600, 1333 or 1066 MHz with a 16 GB ceiling across two slots. Expansion uses one PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots. Storage connects through two SATA III and two SATA II ports. Networking relies on a Realtek RTL8111G controller and audio on a Realtek ALC887 codec.

Check CPU cooler clearance and USB headers

Verify that your chosen LGA 1150 cooler fits the micro-ATX layout and does not block the single x16 slot. Confirm the chassis provides front-panel headers for the two USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 internal ports supplied via the VIA VL806 chipset. Ensure the power supply carries the 24-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU connectors required by this board.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16GB maximum or a lower DDR3 capacity?

The board supports up to 16GB of DDR3 across two channels; 8GB or 4GB kits will also work if you need less memory.

What does the 1600MHz DDR3 rating deliver once installed?

Memory will run at up to 1600MHz in dual-channel mode, giving the rated bandwidth for 4th Gen Intel Core processors on this LGA 1150 platform.

What does the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot limit for a graphics card?

The slot provides PCIe 2.0 x16 bandwidth, so a modern GPU will operate at 2.0 speeds rather than 3.0 or higher.
