Best Budget Board for LGA1150! 11/01/2015
This review is from: MSI H81M-P33 LGA 1150 Intel H81 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
Great motherboard.
If you don't want to spend much on your motherboard, this is the budget board to get for LGA1150. Runs my 4690K CPU great.
Turn on OC Genie and forget about tinkering with overclocking, let it do the work.
Has 2 SATA3 ports, USB 3.0 ports on the back
Cons:
If you put in a double wide graphics card like most graphics cards, it will or almost block the PCI-Express x1 slot. Down side is you cannot put anything there or it will block the GPU fans. Unless you get a blower style GPU.
No USB 3.0 headers for front panel USB 3.0 on your case.
Only 2 SATA3 ports, the rest are SATA2.
Overall Review:
This card would be perfect if they would have put the x1 PCI-Ex before the x16 slot, and if it had USB 3.0 Header slot for front panel USB 3.0
