ASRock DDR3 1333 Intel - LGA 1155 Motherboards (H77M)

I bought this board for an Intel Core i3-3225 because it was simply cheap, looks durable and had all the connection options that I needed. After installing it and getting used to the new BIOS User Interface I was more than happy. It automatically allows you to use a mouse on the BIOS and has more than enough settings to comfortably overclock your processor(on the core i3-3225 you can't).The audio/7.1 surround is great and you can easily distinct your left and right in your music.(Bass is bold and perfect to watch movies)The on-board video options are great. It gives you option to connect via H

I have this as the backbone for my HTPC build in a Silverstone ML03B case. It mounts nicely and POSTed everything without issue. For the price, I'd say it's one of the best HTPC MoBo's you can get.FAN HEADERS:If you plan on using this in an HTPC case though, chances are you will have case fans you hope to control via the system temperature.The H77M only has two headers for case fans, one three-pin with a controller, and one two-pin, without a controller. They are labeled CHA_FAN_1 and CHA_FAN_2, respectively. This stands for Chassis Fan 1 and Chassis Fan 2. In the BIOS, there is an area where

Great build quality, well made and simple with no frills but still has a little bit of all the latest features (PCI-E 3.0X, USB 3.0, SATA3). Easy to set-up and has been running very stable for several weeks, never had any issues. I also really like that there is no LED on the mobo which gives it a nice clean look with the brown/black finish. There are only 2 RAM slots so that could be a problem if you install a large aftermarket cooler that blocks the RAM slots. The BIOS as many people have already said, is very intuitive and has a lot of great features and makes overclocking very easy. I woul

Have been using it for 10 months. Great deal and features for the price.The computer is used for everyday mundane tasks - no games or movies - YouTube at the most. Performance has been rock solid.HDMI output doesn't display with a known good Acer H235H monitor. Fortunately, the DVI-D output worked just fine, and, therefore, didn't return the motherboard back.Use every inbuilt feature, without any add-on cards.Configuration:* Intel i5-3470, 3.2 GHz CPU* 8GB RAM (2 x 4GB), 1600 CL9* 256GB SSD* 1TB HDD (x2)* DVD drive* Native graphics* Antec EarthWatts EA-380D PS* Cooler Master Elite 343 case* 64

First, this MoBo has given me zero problems.POST went perfect, BIOS is easily manageable.Installation was really easy.The manual has detailed pictures of where all front-panel cords hook up.Very easy set up/installCons-Only one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot.2 or more is needed for Crossfire.There is also a GPU slot at PCI 2.0 x4.But that will cut the GPU's potential in half, maybe more.Only 2 DIMM RAM slots.The 2 RAM slots are only able to hold 16gb max.Only 2 hook ups for extra case fans.No Overclocking support for 'K-series' Intel chips.I would recommend getting an upgraded MoBo with the above mentioned

I decied to order the h77m because my old motherboard didn't support my intel processor. This board arrived with a RAM slot broken which limited me with only 4GB of RAM. I'm Really disappointed with the shipping.

Simply a perfect motherboard from ASROCKI plugged in everything to the motherboard and it works perfectly!The reason I like this board so much is that its very cost effective. I paid only $69.99 for the board while other people are currently paying upwards of $150 for other micro-atx boards. in my opinion its foolish to go out and waste money on a board that expensive, especiallyu when you consider the rapid evolution of technology these days. Pay $70 for this awesome ASROCK motherboard and then in 3 years just use the other $80 for a more up to date motherboard. You'll get the best of both wo

and this board is a 1333 so will not run an ivy cpu at top end and you do want the ivy as it run faster then sandy and cooler thanks to it 22mm size
