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

Worked excellent for me. Right out of the box. It is compatible with modern GPUs, also had USB 3.0 which was a nice surprise. It’s extremely simple to install, no manual needed if you have ever installed another mobo. If you are confused about what pins are what for the front panel just take a picture and ask ChatGPT. Stress tested it and no issue there either. Excellent budget build option and I will buy another in the future.

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!

Very affordable and worked fine to put a budget pc together out of old parts.

Worked beautifully

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 The bios is a little outdated, but that's to be expected with a Chinese cheap motherboard.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!

A good item and price.

This is the second of the same motherboard that I got here on Amazon. It is extremely unreliable just like the one I bought before. Despite following reset instructions, the motherboard wont go into BIOS. It does have some 2026 needed features but it’s useless if the whole thing is DOA. Someone shouldn’t reset the CMOS or do 5 things to it just to see if it works. Even if it’s cheap, you’ll waste your time and money. I’ll be getting a big name motherboard thats similar in size and hardware specs. Itll be used and guaranteed works than have it arrive “new” and defective.

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.
