Question 2

Will this run 2 monitors without a graphics card?

Accepted Answer

Yes, provided you get an Intel CPU with the internal Intel HD graphics GPU.  I have several machines running dual monitors with this motherboard and Intel HD graphics.
Take note though that Intel HD graphics, while fine for many applications, will not perform as well as a top end graphics card in a gaming situation.  But you wouldn't use this motherboard for a gaming rig anyway.

Question 3

Having sort of a brain fart presently, a SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7750 will work properly on this board?

Accepted Answer

I fit an NVidia 560 GTX double height graphics card in mine and still had space for a PCI express wifi.  Hope this helps.  Nothing on this board is going to obstruct the video card it's more a function of the case dimensions.

Question 4

is this compatible with haswell generation processors?

Accepted Answer

According to a few searches, you will need to upgrade the firmware in order to use an H81 board with a Haswell processor. Luckily the physical hardware fits.

Question 5

Can I connect two monitors on this board?

Accepted Answer

Of course, providing.......

There are THREE monitors connectors - a standard VGA, an HDMI and a Displayport connector.

If one of your monitors has one of those three connectors, and the other monitor has one of the REMAINING two connectors, you can hook them up directly.

Example: Your monitor A has a VGA input, and Monitor B has a VGA PLUS and HDMI input - use the VGA for Monitor A and the HDMI for Monitor B.

If both your monitors have only ONE connector each, and they are the same, you will need to purchase an adapter to allow them to both work simultaneously.

Question 6

Does this support dual monitors using the onboard dvi and vga ports?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure.  The first one I built was for a single monitor setup.  I have another on the way for another customer and I'll test it when I build the machine.  I should know by Wednesday or Thursday and I'll get back to you on it.

Question 7

Hope you guys can helps ! Since its a dual channel memory supported can I mount one 8g memory stick into one slot for a soon upgrade to 16g of ram with the purchase of another 8g stick later ?

Accepted Answer

You have to be careful going from single channel to dual channel after a reload.  Sometimes the Windows load has to be redone when you add that second module.  It's always best if you use two modules to load it with even if your going to upgrade later.

Question 8

So I've had this motherboard for around a year and a half and recently started upgrading. I got a i7-4790K which was overheating and shutting down so I bought a H80i GT from Corsair. It cools it off really well but the problem is that the case is too compact for the cooler. My question is can I take this motherboard and all components out and put them into a larger case or can this only go into a Micro ATX case?

Accepted Answer

I also have mine installed in a microATX case.  I think if you bought a larger case, like an ATX Mid, that supports the microATX form factor, you would be able to transfer all your components to that case.  Just ensure the case support the microATX form factor.

Question 9

Can I add a graphic card into this motherboard? and what kind of grapihc card I can add?

Accepted Answer

It will take any PCI Express 16 graphics card. That is what most all newer graphics card are. I have a i3 4330 CPU  and a GeForce 750 TI graphics card in mine.

Question 10

Is this good for overclocking an i7 4790k?

Accepted Answer

Define "good".  IMHO if you have to ask if a particular MB is "good" for overclocking, you probably ought to steer away from overclocking and just get a faster CPU and more RAM.
