Review: Great value perfect for budget builds - Worked excellent for me. Right out of the box. It is compatible with modern GPUs, also had USB 3.0 which was a nice surprise. It’s extremely simple to install, no manual needed if you have ever installed another mobo. If you are confused about what pins are what for the front panel just take a picture and ask ChatGPT. Stress tested it and no issue there either. Excellent budget build option and I will buy another in the future.
Review: Dead On Arrival! JUNK! DO NOT BUY! - Pros: NONE! Cons: Dead On Arrival! Tried 3 NEW power supplies, 12 sticks of RAM, 4 Different intel CPU's all of which are liested as supported by the board, 3 CMOS NEW batteries, reset CMOS, and absolutely nothing except the CPU fan spun up. No signal on 3 different monitors from VGA or HDMI, NOTHING! Dead, completely DEAD! Machinist was zero help for drivers or a manual, responded on driver question with a link to a questionable site selling a subscription to a no name and not trustworthy driver updater, very unprofessional! Conclusion: I have been building PC's as a qualified tech for 37 years and I actally know what I am doing and how to properly test hardware, si I know a Dead Motherboard when I encounter one. I am returning this useless piece of junk the day after I recieved it for a full refund, and I only wish I could charge Machinest for my wasted time as well as tying up my hard earned money whilst I wait for the return process to complete! I will never, ever buy a Machinest product again! I don't believe this motherboard was ever tested, or that it passed quality control as stated all over the box! Stay away from their products as they offer zero support and seem rather shady!

## Features

- Intel LGA 1150 socket: The Micro ATX motherboard is powered by the H81 chipset and supports Intel 4th generation Core i3/i5/i7, Xeon E3/V3 series, Celeron G series and Pentium G series processors. (Eg. Core i7-4790K, Core i7-4770, Core i5-4670, Core i5-4590, Core i3-4170, Xeon E3-1285 v3, Pentium G3470, Celeron G1830, etc.)

- High performance interface: Support Gigabit Ethernet interface, compatible with VGA+HDMI dual output high-definition display interface. PCIe 2.0 protocol standard, X16 channel bandwidth can reach 8GB/s. NVME M.2 Slot, Realtek ALC662 audio chip, 4-channel sound card, brings you a different ultimate experience
- The package includes: 1*SATA cable, 1*I/O baffle, 1*motherboard. The CR2032 battery on the motherboard has been removed. It is not included in the package. Please purchase it yourself. And the user manual is not included in the package. You can download the manual file on the product details page. If you don't know where to download the driver, it is recommended to use the win 10 system
- Note: The SATA 3.0 interface and M.2 interface in this ddr3 motherboard are incompatible. If you need to use a SATA M.2 hard drive, then the two SATA 3.0 ports will not be available. If you want to use the SATA 3.0 interface, the M.2 interface will not be available. If you need to use the SATA 3.0 interface, you need to pull out the 4 black small parts on the right end of the M.2 slot and insert them into the right slot. If you need to use the M.2 slots, you don't need to move them
- Note: If you need the motherboard to enter the BIOS, please press the "Del" key continuously after pressing the startup key. Please do not wait until the startup LOGO screen appears on the computer screen before operating, because it is already too late
- Tip1: Before purchasing this computer motherboards, make sure you can install it yourself. After the motherboard is installed normally, if there is no display, no boot, no picture, no network card, no sound card, etc. It is recommended that customers restore factory settings, reset CMOS, or use an eraser to erase the metal pins on the memory, CPU, or graphics card
- Tip2: The CPUs of the Intel Xeon E3 V3 series are server CPUs, and most of them do not have integrated graphics. Generally, only the CPU models with the suffix "5" have integrated graphics. For example: E3-1245 v3, E3-1275 v3, E3-1285 v3, E3-1275L v3, E3-1225 v3 and other CPUs support integrated graphics. While Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 series processors almost all support integrated display, only the CPU model with the suffix "F" letter has no integrated display function, which is "ix-xxxxF"
