ASUS P7H55-M PRO Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Comment:
Disappointed to find that my Quad i5 did not work for on-board VGA, and I had to use a dedicated VGA card.

Comment:
Good board for anyone that wants a fast PC for basic stuff like web/office. I will be buying this board for my customer builds for now on. No need of buying a video card if you get a dual core i3 and i5.

Comment:
I bought this motherboard because it was the cheapest LGA1156 Motherboard I could find. I bought a i3 530 and so far everything works just fine. Wouldn't buy this on a gaming computer tho (Go at least for i5 but best budget gaming computer - Phenom 2 x6)

Comment:
i bought this for a budget I3 build with a I3 530It does it's job fine as expected.would buy again

Comment:
asus have done great job with their boards. I always liked their motherboards since when pentium 4 came out. The pentium 4 rig still works flawlessly. I highly recommend this for budget pc and i would buy this again if i need to buy another simple and fast pc.

Comment:
For a low priced motherboard, you can not go wrong with this model. It is my staple motherboard to build inexpensive desktop pcs.

Comment:
purchased as a cheap replacement board and i did not want to totaly upgrade all components at once. This motherboard maintains older ide drives and has onboard video, while allowing for maximum ram upgrades, sata drive upgrades, current I-series CPU.. IE. this board allows upgrading in steps. Very easy installation and so far a very stable platform

I've used cheap boards for my past few builds and haven't been happy, so I decided for my most recent one I was going to go back to Asus. I'm glad I did - this board is amazing. On my last board there was very little configuration in the BIOS other than "auto" - completely the opposite with this one.I installed a Core i3 530 and KVR1333D3N9 RAM. The system is rock solid.

This board works great right out of the box, The price was great on sale for 99 bucks. I could not go wrong with this board at that price.I would definatly recomend this board for a small form factor build.

Comment:
small, it should fit in any casesworks without any problemthe price is very good considering what it deliversI have no problem whatsoever about installing the hardware and software, it's very simple and quick

Comment:
Bought this for a build to fit in a Sugo SG04B-F Case, along with an i5 with HD video and it has worked perfectly and was very easy to set up. I'm buying another shortly for a second build.

Comment:
Satisfied with this mobo. read manual carefully to determine which ram to install. Your company's memory configurator incorrectly recommended ddr3 cosair 3 stick 6 gig pack. board only recognizes 4 gig usuable.

Comment:
This is the first time I have built a desktop. The reason I have chosen this mobo is because of its price. It works fine and there is nothing to complain about. Just make sure to purchase a graphic card if your processor does not have intergrated graphics (e.g. Core i7).

Comment:
works perfect, i build it for my i5-650 and it work fine had no problems.

Comment:
I am very happy with this purchase. All the features that it comes with are great! Have had no problems.

Comment:
Great motherboard for the money! THe only gripe I have about this is that the on board video only works with some processors. wouldn't work with the Intel Core i5-750 2.66Ghz 8M LGA1156 CPU. Only dual core cpu's from my understanding. Had to call tech support to find that out

Comment:
I found the enclosed software (drivers, et al) a bit confusing to use. Nowadays there may be a lot of 'crapware' on motherboard software CD's so I try to avoid installing such stuff. Otherwise, no problems. It makes a nice media center board that will not become outdated in the forseeable future.

Comment:
Using this for my HTPC. Running with the Intel i3 530 CPU and 4GB of OCZ DDR3 1333 RAM. The RAM wasn't listed on ASUS's site for compatibility but it worked fine. This board will underclock the RAM for some reason so if you want your RAM to run at native speeds you have to set it in the BIOS. Would be nice if the third fan output was controllable, but only the CPU and SYS fan are. Otherwise this board would get all 5s!

Comment:
AWESOME motherboard no problems just had to change what loads first under bios and other than that works well with windows 7 home premium (full retail) other than that awesome.

Comment:
So far no problems. Worked well with all other parts in my machine and connectinos were compatible with case.

Comment:
I got this board in a bundle along with the Intel i3 to build my first PC. This board is perfect for this application. Everything about this board is beginning user friendly. The overclocking-on-the-fly feature is great for beginners. I am really happy with this purchase.

Comment:
Make sure, if you want to use the onboard graphics, that you buy a CPU that has a built in Graphics Processor Core. Also make sure that your PSU has an 8 pin EATX 12v plug if you intend to use a Quad core CPU. Works great and overclocks with ease never before imagined. For 99 bucks for this name brand, you can't beat it.

ASUS does a spectactular job providing a high quality board at a good price. This was my first build and everything worked using only the instructions. First boot had absolutely no issues and it runs very fast. A lot of upside to this board as u can upgrade to any I Core processor in the future.

Solid little board with an amazingly full-featured bios. Used this board, an i3 530 and 4 GB of OCZ ram to update my old htpc. Dropped vcore by 2 notches and bumped Bclck to 167 with no problems at all. One issue: if you're planning to have non-administrator accounts on the machine do NOT install the asus tool stuff on the included dvd. Unless you actually enjoy approving 4 UAC prompts every time you log in that is. In fact, the trash is the best place for that disc. Win 7 update will install everything you need except the ''Intel Management engine interface'' which you can get directly from Intel or asus. I also loaded the HD audio driver from asus which has more whizbang gizmos than the MS stocker. Overall, I like the board a lot. I'd buy it again.

Comment:
First Asus build after 12 other builds. I am impressed with the component quality. The build was dumb simple and easy. The included utilities make over-clocking easy. The BIOS has rich control over settings, including over-clocking. Kick in DDR3-1600 with one click. This is a great value for $100, and will appeal to newbie builders looking to over-clock and value-conscious builders. Before buying the P7H55-M Pro, also consider the P7H55-M Evo for about $20 more. USB 3.0, hardware RAID storage and other features may be an attractive upgrade. Compared to Gigabyte's Clarkdale motherboards, I will choose the Asus every time based on experience.
