The ASRock H81 PRO BTC motherboard is an ATX-sized board designed for Intel LGA 1150 socket processors, making it compatible with 4th generation Intel Core processors (Haswell architecture). It is built around the Intel H81 chipset, which provides basic support for modern features while keeping costs low. The motherboard is ideal for users looking to build a budget-friendly system for general computing, light gaming, or office use.
The board includes two DDR3 memory slots, supporting up to 16GB of dual-channel memory with speeds up to 1600 MHz, though the title specifies DDR3 1066. This makes it suitable for systems that do not require high-speed memory but still offer flexibility for future upgrades. The motherboard also features a single PCIe 2.0 x16 slot for graphics card installation, along with five PCIe 2.0 x1 slots for expansion cards such as sound cards or network adapters.
For storage, the motherboard provides two SATA3 ports and two SATA2 ports, allowing users to connect multiple hard drives or solid-state drives. The integrated networking solution includes a Realtek RTL8111GR Gigabit Ethernet controller, ensuring reliable and fast internet connectivity. On the I/O side, the board offers a comprehensive set of ports, including two USB 3.0 ports, six USB 2.0 ports (with some via headers), PS/2 ports for keyboard and mouse, VGA and HDMI video outputs, serial and parallel ports, and an RJ45 LAN port. Audio I/O jacks are also included for connecting speakers or headphones.
The power delivery system includes a 24-pin ATX power connector and an 8-pin EPS power connector for the CPU. Additionally, there are two Molex power connectors for SLI or CrossFire configurations, although these are more relevant for multi-GPU setups that are less common today.
