H61 LGA 1155 Mini-DTX Motherboard from China

[@philscomputerlab]

Updates since producing this video. The CPU fan, despite having 4 pins, will run at 100%. There isn't even a BIOS option to change that. Also the physical 16x PCIe slot, gets detected by CPU-Z as only being 8x physical. Turbo Boost isn't working at all, so the CPU will run at Base Clock at the most. VRM temps check out fine though, 54C under load with CPU-Z.

[@afrugaltechchannel1360]

Have you tried connecting the CPU fan to an external fan controller? Will the BIOS nag you for that or not?

[@philscomputerlab]

I doubt it will complain, but I haven't tried it, the system is disassembled again.

[@Megabobster]

To fix the turbo boost thing, you can usually "overclock" even locked processors to their boost frequency with minimal/zero risk.

[@philscomputerlab]

Megabobster Not on this board. It's all locked down.

[@letto18]

for the 16x PCIe Slot getting detected as a 8x slot, could it have something to do with the GPU you have installed? Apparently PCIe 3.0 Cards run at 8x instead of 16x when installed in a PCIe 2.0 slot, considering it's a H61 chipset then it should be (most likely) a PCIe 2.0 slot so a newer PCIe 3.0 card would be running 8x anyway.

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

Asside from wanting to add some cooling to those VRMS, the actual quality of those boards is suprising, might be worth checking out in those countries with a poor 1155 Used Offering. Very nice checking these out.

[@philscomputerlab]

I did a quick "finger test" with the VRMs and wasn't that bad under load. But yea, I wouldn't OC on them :D

[@shiva_MMIV]

@@philscomputerlab You can't overclock with an H61 motherboard anyway, even if you use a "K" processor the multipliers are still locked and overclock using the system clock is not recomended, you'll get a lot of issues for very little gain (thanks for nothing, Intel).

[@jonathanellis6097]

If you look hard enough 1155 boards can be had for good prices in the uk. But as the price of ddr4 is still way to high, they are holding their value. oftern wonderd if these chinese boards are any good.

[@antikz3731]

Well Budget-Builds Official, That's what it all comes down to is building on a budget. I am a mainly budget oriented gamer and buy and sell pc's pretty regularly which in turn pays for my personal system. I've used local classifieds websites to piece together some great gaming pc's for cheap. Had an x58 i7 920 oc@4.0ghz on an Asus p6t with 16gb 2133mhz ram,gtx 780,1tb hdd $300. Optiplex 9010 i5 3570,12gb 2133mhz ram,750gb hdd,120gb ssd,gtx 960 $195. Prices in CAD It's alot more fun making a machine that is fairly powerful for a small cost when all these people who believe you need brand new hardware every year are spending $2000 on a tower. Im currently typing on an i7 3770 system i just finished building for my girlfriend. Cost $350. -Gigabyte H61M-S2PV -i7 3770 -12gb DDR3-1600 -Optiplex 9010 stock cooler -500gb HDD -Gtx 1050ti Asus Cerebrus Edition

[@antikz3731]

@@shiva_MMIV and Max Pain you can overclock on the H61 just not through bios. If you have a K cpu installed download Intel Extreme Tuning Utility which will allow you to raise your multiplier. The only downside is having to reapply it when you restart your system. Another option is ThrottleStop. It's a downclocking software for laptops to keep them cool which allows multiplier access. I have overclocked an i7 2600k on a Dell Optiplex 990 so it can most definitely be done!

[@Knaeckebrotsaege]

These boards unfortunately come with random colored slots and heatsinks, I've seen them with light blue, yellow and orange RAM slots, black, silver or blue chipset heatsink and other color combos before. Looks like they just used whatever was available for cheap and got the job done. Heck, mine came in a box that didn't even remotely look like what phil got, but the board was identical

[@AtariBorn]

My first Core i series motherboard was an Intel DH61WW with an i5 2300 and it was a whole new world but the board had some downsides as a large GPU covered two of the four SATA ports as well as the only X1 PCI-E slot, so no USB 3.0 card with a decent GPU. Also, my revision only allowed up to an i7 2700K but some revisions supported the 3770K. It was a nice introduction to the i series but also let me know how important the premium boards could be, as far as expandability goes.

[@philscomputerlab]

Yea this board also has quirky layout. 2 of the SATA ports are also awfully close to the graphics card.

[@dylin6969]

I got a similar board but I can't seen too find the Pc health status option in the bois to slow down my cpu fan speed, it makes so much noise, any help?

[@eduardob8385]

[@stevef6392]

I bought a cheap B75 board for my i5-3470, about a little over a year ago. The board still works fine for the most part, but a few weeks ago all 6 of the USB 2.0 ports just stopped working. Windows still sees the controller, but the ports simply don't output any power to the peripherals. Luckily, the 4 USB 3.0 ports still work, so I can still manage to use the computer. But take it as a word of warning. These boards might not last nearly as long as say, an Asus.

[@jameslewis2635]

This is suprisingly modern for this channel. Having said that these boards would be a good basis for a high end Windows XP retro machine. I might do something similar at some point. I have a Radeon HD7870 that should do the job for the graphics side of things.

This looks like the format used in those mini PC by Acer and eMachines.

[@2dfx]

From where?

[@Felix-ve9hs]

From a German PC forum

[@keylock32]

I've build 7 machines with i5 2400 early this year, I would not recommend getting this board, for these reasons. 1. Mostly only had 100mbps ethernet, and they even still list it with 1gbit Ethernet, it's fixable with $5 gigabit nic pcie, but considering the time we are now, gigabit should always a standard. 2a. Mostly only support gen2 (sandy bridge processors) now if you get one with Ivy bridge support, good for you, but just in case you get the older version of these boards, then good luck finding a proper BIOS update for non branded board you buy, because it's non existent. 2b. if you are stuck with Older bios, then you also stuck with older GPU, since most of the time if you are using GPU with UEFI (GTX 750Ti for example) you will stuck at boot logo (if there's any), this problem fixable if the bios had legacy option FORCE enabled, but if it's not then again, you stuck with it. 3. Bad placement of sata ports and various IO. if you are using long GPU it will cover 2 sata ports below pcie x16 slot. I've wasted $150 for shipping back and forth to fix these unfixable problems, and I gave up, I went to buy Q67 boards from acer used parts instead, and it was better, it has sata3, USB3, and 6 ports of sata, and surprisingly intel NIC gigabit)

[@philscomputerlab]

You should really watch the video :D I believe I covered all these points, and did mention 1 and 3. 2a and 2b weren't an issue though, tested it with an i7-3770 and Radeon RX 560D.

[@keylock32]

Yes I know, I always watch your video, I'm just telling my experience, sometimes seller sent a product that doesn't always looks the same like in the description, although technically it the same motherboard, the one that I got had a brand, and it was ONDA, the layout is similar the only difference is color. The other board that I got had different layout similar to Asrock H61VG3 board. I only buy 2, and I'm not buying it again.

[@philscomputerlab]

No worries! I do try hard to cover all bases and tell it how it is. I will use the board in an upcoming video and will look into VRM temperatures, because this now interests me :)

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

I was planning to get a 750ti for a LGA775 board but the UEFI issue is confusing me. Would I need to install a UEFI patch to the board (which could not exist)?

[@Knaeckebrotsaege]

If you need a BIOS file for these boards with identical layout to the one in this video (probably not working for the other variants they sell now), I can use my EEPROM programmer to read out the BIOS chip on mine. The BIOS is dated mid 2017 IIRC and an Ivy Bridge Core i3 3220 ran on it no problem, same for a GTX960.

[@WaybackTECH]

volt reg's seems to be the common item noted about these cheap china boards when referring to overclocking not being a good idea. Sometimes I think reviewers tend to assume such things and don't bother actually seeing how long it would last under such conditions. My thought is, try it, if it burns out the board in a year, few months, couple weeks, then that is still very useful data.

[@Knaeckebrotsaege]

No point in trying on a H61 board that doesn't allow for any overclocking other than baseclock (which won't get you far and will OC the RAM and PCIe bus at the same time, making things go unstable really quickly)

With the right MOBO a non K i5 or i7 should overclock to what the boost speed is. Sometimes you can get 200Mhz above turbo boost. In the past i got an i5-3330(stock 3.0Ghz and 3.2Ghz Boost) running at 3.4Ghz on all cores using a MOBO with Z77 chipset.

They have an AM3+ version as well that is supposed to support everything from Phenom I all the way to FX as it has one slot for DDR-2 and 1 slot for DDR-3. It might be worth checking out for the novelty factor and to see if it actually works as the last time I saw a board that could support more than 1 kind of RAM was the old Asrock LGA775 "switcher" boards that had AGP and PCIe and DDR1 and DDR2.

[@philscomputerlab]

Do you have a link please?

[@TheHangarHobbit]

PhilsComputerLab Sure I can spook one up, was looking for an AM3+ board when old Bessie got struck by lightning (poor old Bessie, she was a good old gal sniff!) but sadly I have 2 8Gb sticks of DDR3 and it only supports 1 stick of either/or. Here ya go here is one, they have several last I checked.. tinyurl.com/ya69a9kb As you can see she has 2 RAM slots and asking the seller they confirmed one is DDR2, the other DDR3. It is called the "c61" and looks like its a cousin to your H61, probably the same company. Nice thing is it does support PS2 keyboard and mouse so might make for a good retro XP box with something like a dirt cheap Phenom X4 9150e which they sell there for a whopping...$8.

[@TheHangarHobbit]

PhilsComputerLab Oh and naturally no HDMI out but it does have VGA as well has a PCIe and PCI slot so copying the rig you just tested should be easy. Like I said might make for a dirt cheap XP retro rig as the old Phenom/Athlon and DDR2/DDR3 as you pointed out is quite cheap.

[@philscomputerlab]

Thanks for the link, very interesting. Has an IDE port as well :)

[@TheHangarHobbit]

PhilsComputerLab Huh, didn't even notice. I guess that makes it all the better for a retro build as it'll support older IDE HDDs and with both DDR2 and DDR3 it should be very versatile. I contacted the seller when I first saw it and was told its a Geforce 7 IGP (so well supported in XP and IIRC Win 7) and it does support both kinds of memory which according to him was 4Gb for the DDR2 and 8Gb for the DDR3 and it supports pretty much any AM2/AM3 CPU so it has a huge selection of CPUs you can pair it with that are insanely cheap. Like I said might be a good choice for someone wanting an uber-cheap retro XP box simply because parts for it should be common as dirt. IDK about Win9X, might work with a single core like a Sempron though.

how in games for example pubg lite how many fps

[@rubes5870]

@@mhd6251 Its a good board. Chuck an i7 2600 in it and it runs perfectly on modern games

I'm in the process of going 1155 from AM3, with a used Asus board and 3770 - the H61 chipset apparently supports PCI-E 3.0 on the x16 when used with a 3rd gen (and I take it the board was already BIOSed for 3rd gen) As I understand it, the H61 does not support K overclocking, but the BIOS may have an option to force all core turbo. I've also tried an Asmedia 1061 SATA 3 for my SSD, and while some way short of native chipset SATA 3, it beats the SATA 2 of the H61. The H61 is the "bottom of the barrel" LGA1155 chipset (all the others offer at least one SATA 3). The 6n chipsets are Sandy Bridge and generally support 3rd gen with a BIOS update, while the 7n are Ivy Bridge native

Great info.

Those boards arrived at my work to replace older PCWare 1155s that died. Those are recognized as ZX-H61CM. They always have trouble with our Markvision DDR3 kit. For some reason they only accept the Celeron G400s the Pentium G2020s and 2030s refuse to POST. Most of the options on the BIOS are broken.

[@philscomputerlab]

Yea I found that the BIOS has a ton of options, but many are just generic, or dummies like you say.

[@GzeeBRII]

@@philscomputerlab Maybe they used an universal BIOS. I found H55s and H81s with the same visual and sane flaws.

[@OmegaJoeLive]

I am going to buy one of these but I look at it online and the motherboard I am looking at has no video port on the board so I am thinking is it p67 (edit)-it says p67 on the details but it only has 4 pin. So let me know if anyone knows anything.

[@George_Anthone-rl9ks]

What fan cooler it compatible with this motherboard using a intel celaron i7?

Wondering of its CPU compatibility with say, a Xeon CPU.

[@arcticremy293]

Hey I have a similar board scan you tell or send me the front panel connection order

[@philscomputerlab]

I'm not sure, it's been a while. Just use trial and error, or use default Asus / GB layout!

[@arcticremy293]

PhilsComputerLab ok thanks

[@afrugaltechchannel1360]

Does the manufacturer of the board have its own website or something similar to download BIOS updates and drivers?

[@philscomputerlab]

I doubt it. Drivers aren't an issue though, Windows 10 picks up everything.

[@auser1320]

Bro i have this motherbard,can i install 1650 super graphics card??plz reply

[@StAlchemyst]

I’m guessing overclocking is not an option on this. I’ve got an 1155 socket i7 K series CPU and 1155 Z series board are RIDICULOUS. I wonder if they offer any 1155 boards better suited for even mild overclocking.

[@ikickss]

These no name cheap boards are made with recycled parts, so quality just isn't there. Overclocking these can kill the board and take down others connected to it, permanently.

[@Mr_Meowingtons]

OMG i need this! i have a high end 1155 CPU and 16GB in 2 sticks my mother board had died i just wish it was ITX

[@danielm5763]

You don't need drivers, Windows 10 will install them all automatically.

Does it support I7 2600? I have one with some ddr3 ram so i would be pretty much set if I just get the board

Got this mobo for fixing an old computer I have at home, but I can't get the drivers, does anybody have them?

[@carlos2004]

I really wanted to get one of these since they looked like mini ITX. Fortunately I noticed they are not in fact mini ITX and decided against it since I was determined to build a mini ITX system. So I ended just moving to whole new platform with the ryzen stuff. Bid on a few used mini ITX 1155 boards but I would always get outbid. If only the x16 slot was actually in the first position it would actually fit just about all mini ITX cases since they have the extra space for the dual slot gpu's. Don't know why the did not do that.

[@philscomputerlab]

Yea it's Mini-DTX apparently. Some off form factor.

[@leandtomoling9775]

What's gpu you insert on your motherboard?

[@Felix-ve9hs]

Since Intel can not keep up with the demand of H310 and CPUs in China, even FM2+ Motherboards with A68 Chipsets are sold everywhere at the moment, I'm not surprised that 1155 H61 Borards are available for purchase...

[@reezy420.]

Can i get a link for a Bios update ? (For this board pls)

[@zverobox9115]

Bro save, all hope is on you, I have exactly the same motherboard, exactly the same BIOS version, but after replacing the i5-3470 processor with the i7-3770, the system unit works, but the image is not, everything is ok with the old processor, but the new one does not want to work (if that the processor is working)
