Has served me well

if your trying to overclock go for a non-eco board

ive had this mother board for over a year with no issues. i like the green. it has pci express 3.0. the board is energy efficient and can be made even more efficient with eco center pro app

Good solid business class board

This board was not designed for gaming. There is a lack of good business boards out there. This one fits the bill perfectly. Don't buy this board if you want to overclock or do anything crazy. Just read the name of the board, "H81M Eco" ECO sounds...

Run Windows 8.1 like a champ. Runs Ubuntu like a champ. The price is reasonable for a board with all solid state capacitors and a 14 month stable supply. Great little workstation board.

As another reviewer said, the sata connector layout is a little strange. but if you've built systems before, you know that all boards have their quarks.

No advance settings like changing memory speed, memory voltage, and CPU voltage ; MSI is missing a driver that should be included on their site. The Asmedia USB 3.0 driver is missing. I tried contacting tech support and they want me to go through the...
