Review on Asus Micro DDR3 Motherboards H81M K by Janis Riekstins ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

I assembled the following config: i3-4130, Crucial 4gb 1600 memory, GTX 550Ti and this mother. I poked around in the BIOS for a long time and tried to figure out how to run the Windows installer in legacy mode, because it was not possible to repartition the disk in gpt. Unfortunately, I could not do this, CSM (Compatibility Support Module - the thing that, in theory, should ensure booting in legacy mode) and its settings did not lead to anything, there was only a UEFI installer in the boot list, which naturally referred to the impossibility installation on MBR partition. In general, I had to transfer all the data, and repartition the disk to GPT for installation, which took 1 extra day. Also, after setting the XMP profiles, it did not always save the settings, and did not understand why. In general, the motherboard is good, especially for such a price, especially since it was from Asus, it worked stably in the future and did not let me down :) Z. Y. The network does not fall off.

Pros
  • - cheap - Convenient location of power connectors and other cable management
Cons
  • - Not obvious settings in UEFI-BIOS - For some reason, it does not always save BIOS settings - Clipped audio output on the rear panel, although the board supports 7.1 - no HDMI
