Description

CPU: The Gigabyte GA-H81M-DS2 (LGA 1150) motherboard supports Intel® Core™ i7 processors, Intel® Core™ i5 processors, Intel® Core™ i3 processors, Intel® Pentium® processors, and Intel® Celeron® processors in the LGA1150 package. The L3 cache varies depending on the CPU. For more detailed information about supported CPUs, you can refer to the “CPU Support List.”

Chipset: The motherboard is equipped with the Intel® H81 Express Chipset.

Memory: It has two 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets that support up to 16 GB of system memory. Note that if you are using a 32-bit operating system, the displayed memory size will be less than the physical memory installed due to the OS limitation. The motherboard supports dual-channel memory architecture and DDR3 1600/1333 MHz memory modules. It also supports non-ECC memory modules and Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules. You can find more information about compatible memory modules in the “Memory Support List.”

Onboard Graphics: The motherboard features integrated graphics processor support for Intel® HD Graphics. It has one D-Sub port that can support a maximum resolution of 1920×1200. The maximum shared memory for graphics is 1 GB.

Audio: The motherboard utilizes the Realtek® ALC887 audio codec, providing High Definition Audio. It supports 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel audio. To configure 7.1-channel audio, you need to use an HD front panel audio module and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver.

LAN: The motherboard includes a Realtek® GbE LAN chip, providing 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet connectivity.

Expansion Slots: It has one PCI Express x16 slot running at x16 and two PCI Express x1 slots. The PCI Express slots conform to the PCI Express 2.0 standard.

Storage Interface: The motherboard’s chipset provides two SATA 6Gb/s connectors (SATA3 0/1) for connecting up to two SATA 6Gb/s devices and two SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATA2 2/3) for connecting up to two SATA 3Gb/s devices.

USB: The motherboard has up to two USB 3.0/2.0 ports on the back panel and up to six USB 2.0/1.1 ports (two on the back panel, four available through internal USB headers).
