    Great Basic LGA 1155 Socket Motherboard, For PC Builders

    This motherboard works great. Still has the PS/2 style mouse/keyboard jacks, I like that. I put in a i5-3570k and had no trouble at all, it booted fine. The bios is well laid out and even includes advanced features for my chip and OC Genie which does the overclock parameters for you. I didn't try it yet. It may be a basic board, but it works great and offers a Great Value. Solid caps, probably run perfect for 20 years.

    This board also has pin headers for com/serial & parallel (old legacy) ports, but does not have the physical jacks. I still have things needing both types of ports, and spare parts to create these jacks for old scanners, printers, etc. New PCs will not even have these legacy options. MSI has made a well designed motherboard which can still accept the old gizmos (if needed) and yet run state of the art processors. 5 Stars!

    Practical choice for either legacy or current OS; value-priced

    This is a great "transition" motherboard that will run Windows 10 as well as legacy Windows XP, for example.

    Rather than completely discard years of work and installed applications and programs on an XP Hard Drive, by overwriting the drive or migrating, it is possible to keep that work as-is and running perfectly in a dual-booted system.

    In summary: extend that legacy XP hard drive for another 5 years, while gradually migrating files to the new system. Access-times, latency, and performance were significantly improved over the previous motherboard and legacy Intel CPU, by increased RAM and CPU speed on the new MSI H61M-P31/W8.

    Building a computer for my friend and this is the first item I have ever received from Amazon DOA. Wouldn't post no matter what I did. Hopefully the replacement board is better. I ordered MSI only because my previous build with a Z77M-G45 performed flawlessly. But then again all computer parts are prone for DOA. Will update when replacement board comes in.

    EDIT: So I got my replacement the very next day after putting in my return order. Can't say more about amazon prime, I absolutely love it. The replacement board went off without a hitch. Everything loaded up fine, had to download the drivers online because I didn't build this computer with a cd drive, but no worries.

    However, the thing about the past 2 MSI boards I have used (my primary build is a z77m-g45) the PCI Simple Communications Controller, and unknown device never get installed in my device manager. Doesn't matter to me, I'm probably just neglecting something.

    Anyways, it's a good mobo for the price, if you get a DOA one just return it and get a replacement if not go with a different brand. Happy building! Changed to 4 stars!

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    I built a PC for my son for Christmas and the Biostar mobo that I originally ordered was shorting out and causing the PC to shut down abruptly and I couldn't even get the OS installed. I placed an order for this MSI board and had it rushed to my home via 1-day shipping and I was not disappointed.

    MSI makes some quality products and the ATI 6670 video card I chose for my sons PC is just as solid as this mobo. Not a lot of frills here, but just enough to get by with a solid budget build that has some room for improvement later. Starting out with a Pentium G620 and will later upgrade him to an i5 when needed!

    other than it dying after 3 weeks it is a good mATX motherboard with standard DDR3 ram slots and one pci-e slot. i only have one problem with this mother board and it's very minor, it has an older chipset but you can get any core or pentium or celeron processor as long as you make sure that it is an LGA1155 chipset. overall this is a very good board with 2 ram slots, 4 SATA ports, one x16 pci-e slot, one x1 pci-e slot, one dvi-d port, one vga port, 6 usb 2.0 ports, 2 PS2 ports, one gigabit ethernet port, line in/ line out audio ports, and a microphone port. great board for the price i highly recommend buying if you're looking for a nice budget board.

    so I just got a cheaper graphics card (radeon hd 6450) and it has worked fine ever since
    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2016

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    I bought this used on amazon a few years ago, and for some reason the integrated graphics have never worked. I almost returned it, but talked to the seller, MSI and Intel, and no one had any idea what was going on, but it could be the processor (new celeron G1610, didn't come with board) and not the board, so I just got a cheaper graphics card (radeon hd 6450) and it has worked fine ever since. I played with it again the other day and it still does the same thing:

    if no graphics drivers are installed, the basic MS driver will show (at basic resolution) on the vga, but ONLY if there is also something plugged into the dvi port. otherwise it would do nothing.

    if any drivers from any source (intel, MSI, or windows update) are installed it will half way boot, showing stuff on both the dvi and vga at different points but it always freezes and dies shortly after the login screen (but even before this point it looks very unstable the whole boot process.

    but with the PCIe graphics card the board shows no signs of problems and hasn't for almost 3 years.

    I also found the power management strange, in order for a usb mouse to be able to wake it from sleep, I had to move a jumper on the board that keeps the usb ports powered at all times (even with shut down) otherwise it would cut power to the mouse and keyboard during sleep. Then I had to go to the bios setting and set the wake up events to bios controlled rather than OS controlled because it still wouldn't wake.

    AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT enable windows 8 mode. It screws everything up, and does weird stuff when it tries to boot, the only way to get it back it to reset the bios to defaults. and either before the reset or after you need a PS2 keyboard to get into the bios, I reset to defaults through the bios setting, but I think I had to get out a PS2 keyboard to get to the bios settings to reset it... maybe it's just my messed up board, but I've done this at least twice because I forgot what it did, and it took me almost an hour to undo it.
