POWERX MOTHERBOARD H81

The PowerX H81 Motherboard is a compact and affordable Micro‑ATX platform designed to power desktop systems that use Intel’s LGA1150 family of processors, including 4th and 5th Gen Intel Core i3, i5, i7, as well as Pentium and Celeron CPUs. It’s built around the reliable Intel H81 chipset, which delivers stable performance and essential features for general‑purpose computing tasks.

This board supports dual‑channel DDR3 memory across two DIMM slots with a maximum combined capacity of 16 GB at standard DDR3 speeds (1066 MHz, 1333 MHz, and 1600 MHz), enabling improved multitasking for everyday use.

Connectivity on the PowerX H81 includes legacy and modern interfaces: HDMI and VGA display outputs for monitors, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports for peripherals, 4 SATA ports for HDDs/SSDs, onboard LAN for networking, and 6‑channel audio support. Internally, it provides standard headers and connectors for storage, fans, and front‑panel I/O, and expansion through 1× PCIe x16 and 1× PCIe x1 slots for GPUs or additional cards.

With its EFI BIOS, users can configure system settings easily, and the Micro‑ATX form factor (170×190 mm) ensures compatibility with many compact cases. This makes the PowerX H81 a practical option for office computers, home PCs, or entry‑level builds where balanced performance and affordability are key.
