MACHINIST H61 LGA 1155 (Intel 2th/3th Gen) Gaming Motherboard, Flex-ATX Computer Motherboards Support PCIe 2.0, 100M LAN, DDR3, SATA M.2 for Intel i3,i5,i7/Xeon E3 V2/Pentium

Helped me revive my old build. This is of course one of the most basic boards on the market, but it’s cheap and reliable!

Pros: NONE! Cons: Dead On Arrival! Tried 3 NEW power supplies, 12 sticks of RAM, 4 Different intel CPU's all of which are liested as supported by the board, 3 CMOS NEW batteries, reset CMOS, and absolutely nothing except the CPU fan spun up. No signal on 3 different monitors from VGA or HDMI, NOTHING! Dead, completely DEAD! Machinist was zero help for drivers or a manual, responded on driver question with a link to a questionable site selling a subscription to a no name and not trustworthy driver updater, very unprofessional! Conclusion: I have been building PC's as a qualified tech for 37 years and I actally know what I am doing and how to properly test hardware, si I know a Dead Motherboard when I encounter one. I am returning this useless piece of junk the day after I recieved it for a full refund, and I only wish I could charge Machinest for my wasted time as well as tying up my hard earned money whilst I wait for the return process to complete! I will never, ever buy a Machinest product again! I don't believe this motherboard was ever tested, or that it passed quality control as stated all over the box! Stay away from their products as they offer zero support and seem rather shady!

Very affordable and worked fine to put a budget pc together out of old parts.

Worked excellent for me. Right out of the box. It is compatible with modern GPUs, also had USB 3.0 which was a nice surprise. It’s extremely simple to install, no manual needed if you have ever installed another mobo. If you are confused about what pins are what for the front panel just take a picture and ask ChatGPT. Stress tested it and no issue there either. Excellent budget build option and I will buy another in the future.

The item came in its own box, some notable features are: a 24 pin slot, 3 Sata-2 ports, a 4 pin motherboard port, a four pin CPU fan port, a PCIE slot, and two ram slots. it's a good budget board. It did not come dead on arrival for me and it works perfectly with the case I'm using it also has a VGA, HDMI, and ethernet port. The bios is a little outdated, but that's to be expected with a Chinese cheap motherboard. You really are getting what you're paying for no less and no more. Another thing to note is that it does NOT come with its own battery, make sure to get one from your local store!

This is the second of the same motherboard that I got here on Amazon. It is extremely unreliable just like the one I bought before. Despite following reset instructions, the motherboard wont go into BIOS. It does have some 2026 needed features but it’s useless if the whole thing is DOA. Someone shouldn’t reset the CMOS or do 5 things to it just to see if it works. Even if it’s cheap, you’ll waste your time and money. I’ll be getting a big name motherboard thats similar in size and hardware specs. Itll be used and guaranteed works than have it arrive “new” and defective.

This motherboard is good for the price, I used it to upgrade a dell Optiplex pc that had a older i5 in it. Pros The board booted and installed from my USB loader without any bios updating. It is a DDR3 motherboard that features a NVME slot. Cons Its a ddr3 motherboard. its only as fast as it is. It works fine as an Office PC but wouldn't recommend for gaming or intensive computing. Motherboard did not include a Cmos battery. I had a spare from my other system.

I wanted to reuse a CPU and some RAM after a motherboard died. This worked well for the components I had. The finished PC is compact and works well for older technology.
