A set of Entry-Level Haswell boards
Asus has announced that it will be releasing six entry-level
motherboards sporting Intel’s entry-level H81 Haswell chipset. The boards feature
several different form factors which include ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ATX.
The H81 series is comprised of the H81-Plus, H81M-Plus,
H81M-A, H81M-C, and the H81M-E and the H81I-Plus. All of boards include two
DDR3 1600Mhz dimm slots supporting up to 16GB of RAM and one PCI-Express x16
slot (@16). Other specifications include two SATA 6GB/s ports, Realtek 7.1
Audio, and USB 3.0.
Asus claims its new boards feature 5K gold capacitors which
are supposed to “last more than twice as long as traditional electrolytic
capacitors — over 50 years of continuous use under typical conditions (at 65
degrees Centigrade).”
Currently there is no word on how much the new H81 boards
will cost. However, on Newegg H87 motherboards are priced at $80-$120, so the
H81 motherboards should be around the same price or cheaper.
