My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

A good budget motherboard, for an office computer came up without problems. They took socket 775 instead. Drivers are installed without problems. The only thing missing is slots for RAM, but for that it is a budget motherboard.

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

After almost a year of operation at work (about 60 units), I was surprised to find in the new batch that, despite the visually correct settings for secure boot (or rather, I just needed NOT UEFI boot), it completely refused to boot, both from the network and from the licensed disk W7x64. Factory firmware 0703. I changed the last 1002 - it worked. On previous mothers of the same model, there was firmware 0401, everything worked on it, after installation I already changed it just to 0703, which…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Glitched BIOS

Second-rate product, won't buy it again.

I took this miracle, because there was simply not enough money for a normal motherboard. Before buying this product, I still believed the Asus brand. I put in it Intel Core i5-4460. Support for i5 series processors is declared by the manufacturer. But, as it turned out, this is not so. Specifically, with this processor, the buggy BIOS, stuck in a small memory, could not even start. Just did not give out a video signal to any of the video outputs. I had to disassemble the assembled computer and…

Pros
  • cheap
Cons
  • Inconvenient location of connectors, terrible budget chipset, buggy bios, general wretchedness

Does not meet my expectations, it was not worth buying.

I took it as a plug for the 4790K, while the board on the Z97 is being diagnosed at the SC for marriage. And then the adventure began: the system boot speed is catastrophically low. For comparison, on ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO, the seven rose in 3-4 seconds. But with this miracle, I remembered the times of XP and 40Gb hard drives. The system starts 5 times - either it doesn't like the 4790K, or it has too much RAM (Crucial Ballistix Tracer 16 GB DDR3-1600 8-8-8-24), or the SATA controllers…

  • Component support, workmanship

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

A good model for entry and intermediate levels. I'm already used to the initial setup and fine-tuning, I installed drivers from the disk, realtek drivers from the off-site, disabled the EPU in the BIOS so that the PSU does not sin, now everything works like a clock.

Think carefully before buying this product.

We took five computers with this "mother". Installed win10 home x32. 3 out of 3 computers periodically reboot without any explanation 1-2 times a day. I did not install anything "criminal" from the software. It just reboots and that's it. (I didn't try to figure out which BSOD, it looks like I'll do it now) . Installed on one win10 x64, the network network began to fail, packets disappeared . I spat, put myself this computer, connected the old screw with WinXP x32 installed, no problems…

Pros
  • Cheap
Cons
  • Glitches on win 10 x32, Network card

There are pros and cons, think before buying.

Bought three days ago. Almost immediately collected, launched - it works. I was pleased with the UEFI BIOS with "mouse control" (although now there are already such everywhere, but I haven't really used it yet). However, an unpleasant problem arose - almost every time a SATA disk falls off and crashes into the BIOS, and sometimes a USB card reader also comes with it. I did not observe any problems with the network, otherwise it would be quite a shame, because. a PCI-network card was left from…

Pros
  • Quite an ordinary model of a very modest configuration
Cons
  • SATA drive keeps dropping out after restarting computer

I am completely satisfied, item complies with description.

In general, after installing Win7 from optical media, I decided to first install the drivers for the motherboard chipset, and from the disk that came with it, however, after installing the driver, the computer stops booting, hangs on the animation of the Windows logo and goes into reboot, reinstalled the OS as many as 3 times to understand what was happening, it turned out that the driver was some kind of curve or its installer. In general, I installed the drivers from the same disk, but not…

Pros
  • inexpensive, user-friendly BIOS interface with mouse support
Cons
  • It did not work out to boot and install WIn7 from a USB flash drive, the BIOS sees it, but refuses to boot. I installed a Zalman Optima cooler, which is far from being a giant, but even it blocked access to one of the RAM slots. There is a problem with the supplied driver (details below).

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Has some pros: I have been using it for almost a year, there are no problems, it works quite well for such money . With its cons: There are not enough sata loops . that is, there are as many as 4 of them, but 3 of them work on sata3 and two on sata2 .

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

The usual minimalist board for an entry-level computer. It's nice that even in such a simple board there are some "chips", for example, an energy-saving ASUS EPU chip and ASUS Anti-Surge power surge protection.

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…

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

After installing Windows 7 x64 and drivers, a problem arose - it sees a USB flash drive only if it is plugged in BEFORE booting the computer. In the device manager "unknown device", reinstalling the drivers does nothing. It was cured superoriginally - right-click on the "unknown device" - ate the driver - automatic search on the Internet. 5 seconds, the driver was found, and after the reboot everything is OK !

Pros
  • cheap, for an office computer all connectors are present
Cons
  • Firewood for USB is unfinished

I've been using it since October and never had any problems. Now I looked at the reviews, a solid negative on the mother - it feels like only a shkolota buys (or writes reviews) who pisses with happiness at the sight of the cooler backlight and whose hands from the f . grow. In order - I bought in October in conjunction with a very budgetary Pentium G3220. Worked great without any glitches on Win7 64bits. Now ated - current config: H81M-K + i5-4690 + 16gb + 4HDD - no problems and glitches, no…

Pros
  • normal mother
Cons
  • Not detected
