ASRock H61DE S3 ATX Motherboard with DDR3, SATA3, and Networking Features

The ASRock H61DE/S3 is a motherboard designed for users seeking a reliable platform for building a desktop computer with 2nd generation Intel Core processors. It supports a wide range of Intel Core i7, i5, and i3 processors, including the unlocked K-series CPUs, which are ideal for overclocking. The motherboard is built around the Intel H61 chipset, which provides solid performance for basic computing tasks and light gaming. It features a Socket LGA1155, allowing compatibility with a variety of Intel processors from the Sandy Bridge generation.

The motherboard includes four DIMM slots for DDR3 memory, supporting speeds up to 1333 MHz and offering a maximum capacity of 16GB in dual-channel configuration. This makes it suitable for multitasking and running memory-intensive applications. For expansion, it provides one PCIe 2.0 x16 slot for graphics cards, two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots, and two standard PCI slots. This allows users to add additional expansion cards such as sound cards or network adapters.

Storage options are provided through six SATA ports—four SATA2 and two SATA3—enabling users to connect multiple hard drives or solid-state drives for increased storage capacity and faster data transfer speeds. The motherboard also includes integrated audio via the Realtek ALC887 7.1-channel HD Audio CODEC, providing high-quality sound output for multimedia applications.

For video processing, the motherboard features an integrated Intel HD 2000/3000 graphics controller, which shares up to 1759MB of system memory. This is sufficient for basic graphics tasks and light gaming but may not be ideal for high-end gaming or professional graphics work. The motherboard also includes a Gigabit Ethernet controller from Atheros AR8151, supporting Wake-On-LAN functionality for remote access and network management.
