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

Works great for what I need it! Made a i5 4590 and gt 1030 Linux system. Despite all the bad reviews, this product worked well with me. Though the Bios is kinda barebones but that’s okay. Great value for what it is.

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!

Great product no issues whatsoever. It works best with windows 10. I'm glad someone is still making new motherboards that can run older equipment

My son's venerable i7 MB died. In its 2015 heyday, this was a top of the line i7PC. I thought it would be a waste to dump the CPU and RAM because technology waits for no one. I saw this MB and despite what the negative reviews said, I and decided to give it a shot, if it is bad, I can always return it. Put it all back together, and it booted fine. However, I noticed in the the 16GB (8x8) RAM was only reading 4GB and it did not recognize the sata III hard drive. I swapped the 16GB DDR3 ram with another set from another manufacturer I had laying from another dead computer , tried again and this time the MB recognized the full 16GB of Ram. Ok, so there is a RAMM compatibility issue. I swapped the SSD port to port 2 and then it recognized the drive. Hmmm, bad IDE 3.0 port? No. There are four jumpers on the MB that configure the MB to use the M.2 SSD slot, but you lose one of the SATA 3 ports in doing so. The MB comes factory configured for one M.2 SSD and one regular SATA III drive. Yes, you can download the user manual from the link on the amazon item, but it sucks because the user manual does not mention anything about the SATA configuration. The configuring information is actually spelled out at the bottom of the Amazon item description Amazon, where all the manufacturer's marketing hype is usually posted. Very stupid place for it I may add. Aside from the lousy documentation, the MB appears to be solid has given this PC a new life on a budget. We'll see how it holds up in the next few months.

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!

Bought this board to "cheaply" replace a board that got hit by lightning and keep my 2700k alive because it works fine for everyday office use and lite gaming. There are things to like about the board, the small form factor, the extra PCIx slot above the video card on a board this small was a plus and I actually needed it. Everything seemed to work right out of the box except when making it a win11 machine because 10 will be unsupported this year. I was also pleased to get it to boot off of an nvme and not have to use a 3.5 ssd. No information for bios, drivers or support anywhere on the manufacturer website. Understandable because this is older tech and outdated in a reality. While I was able to get it to Windows 11, I have been building PCs for a while and it stumped me while troubleshooting for about an hour. I would not recommend this for anyone who is new to PC building, you should be buying something newer anyhow and it was not super easy to figure out. The thing that ended up being the problem was the onboard network card is not windows 11 compatible and caused BSOD as soon as it was plugged it. I was able to buy a network card for the pcie slot above the video card and all is well. The only other thing is watch out for memory buy some decent ram as the first sticks I bought here where a very cheap brand and it would not run above 1333. Again not easy at all to find support or documentation. Corei7 2700k, 16gb ram, gtx960 yes super old specs but I didn't want to throw it away. It will now be repurposed for storage and some media center duties.

(Oficialmente 6 meses funcionando sin fallas, se gano su 5ta estrella) Le instale un I7 de 3.6 de 4ta. generacion + geforce 2070 + x2 ddr3 16gb = 32gb de 1600MHz y aunque dice que soporta 32 de ram ( y los soporta ) pareciera que esta utilizando solo una direccion de canal de ram y me logro levantar 1300 - 1400 mhz estables, solo trae 4 salidas sata, y una de ellas no funcionaba, le instale 3 ssd + un m2 de 2tb, y la trasnferencia de datos del m2 no subia 2GB x seg, le probe con un m2 de 256gb y la velocidad de paso de informacion subio a 6gb x seg, al parecer hay una relacion tamaño espacio respecto a la funcionalidad del m2, en cambio la velocidad de trasnferencia de los sata es muy estable, recomiendo que le dejen el disco con el S.O. en las ranuras sata. a la PCIE logre sacarle los 8gb x seg. dando por aprobado las de video de 8GB, mas de eso no soporta A pesar que parece un DONGFENG con aspecto ferrari :D , todas sus funciones de overclock los trae de forma manual, asi que tienes que saber lo que haces si no quieres quemar tus componentes. La razon por la que le doy 4 estrellas es porque a pesar de su simplicidad y fallos a primera vista, si comparas todas las funciones que trae + su precio, con todas las del mercado, es una ganga!!!, sacando efectivamente la tarea para trabajos de oficina y entretenimiendo a mediana escala, y para cualquier entusiasta aprendiz del overclock, creo que es una excelente motherboard para aprender y a la vez darles utilidad a procesadores de 4ta generacion que tanto quieren sacar del mercado. Actualmente dejare esta PC minando crypto hasta que fallezca, forzandola al maximo de su actual capacidad, les avisare cuanto tiempo me dura, y por lo que me costo con gusto me la quedo hasta quemarla, creo que seria interesante montar una granja express con estas cosas tan varatas, y si soporta mas del año conmigo, definitivamente le dare la estrella que falta y me comprare un lote. Gracias por su tiempo, espero que mi reseña les sea de utilidad.

Worked for two days, fully new setup, tried ram, cpu, GPU, and still no post or boot, cheap Chinese motherboard garbage
