Looking for a high quality entry level motherboard? We have a sweet deal on the Asus P8H61-M motherboard.
For the ultimate in high end computing we have the MSI X79A-GD65 w/ Frio CPU Cooler, supporting the latest Intel Core i7 Six core CPUs.
Asus P8H61-M Intel H61 Chipset (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard **B3 REVISION** @ £46.99 inc VAT
The P8H61-M delivers users fantastic graphics performance in an Intel® LGA1155 package with memory and PCI Express controllers integrated to support 2-channel DDR3 memory and 16x PCI Express 2.0 lanes. DDR3 supports data transfer rates of 1333 / 1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia and Internet applications. The Intel® H61(B3) Express Chipset is the latest single-chipset design to support the new 1155 socket Intel® Core™ i7 / i5 / i3 2nd generation processors. It provides improved performance by utilising serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability.
The P8H61-M features a multitude of exclusive ASUS features. ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) provides total system power management by intelligently moderating power usage in real time saving power and money. ASUS AI Suite II, this all-in-one software offers diverse and ease to use functions, with no need to switch back and forth between different utilities. AI Suite II allows users to supervise overclocking, energy management, fan speed control, voltage and sensor readings.
Anti-Surge protection detects over voltage conditions to prevent voltage surges from spreading in real time. Fan Xpert intelligently allows users to adjust the CPU chassis fan speeds according to differing temperature and climate conditions, offering flexible control of fan speeds to achieve a quiet and cool environment.
ASUS TurboV provides the adrenaline rush of real time OC without exiting or rebooting the OS. The ASUS OC profiles in TurboV provide the best OC settings in different scenarios. The P8H61-M uses all high-quality conductive polymer capacitors on-board for durability, improved lifespan and enhanced thermal capacity. GPU Boost overclocks the integrated GPU in real time for the best graphics performance with a user friendly UI that facilitates flexible frequency and voltage adjustments.
The BIOS C.P.R, (CPU Parameter Recall), feature automatically restores the CPU default settings when the stystem hangs due to an overclocking failure. C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Users can simply shut down and reboot the system. The on-board 8-channel HD audio (High Definition Audio) CODEC enables high-quality 192KHz/24-bit audio output. Jack Detect feature, automatically identifies peripherals and notifies users of any inappropriate connection.
