ASUS Launches H81 Series Motherboards Based on Intel H81 Chipset – Aug 16, 2013– Taipei, Taiwan  (Techreleased) – ASUS today announced six new entry-level motherboards based on the Intel® H81 chipset in ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX form factors. Designed for 4th generation Intel Core™ processors, the ASUS H81 Series features exclusive ASUS 5X Protection technology for superior reliability and is available in a range of specifications that cater for a variety of PC needs.

ASUS H81 Series Motherboards

The ASUS H81 Series comprises the H81-Plus ATX motherboard; the H81M-Plus, H81M-A, H81M-C and H81M-E Micro-ATX motherboards; and the H81I-Plus Mini-ITX motherboard. All models feature two DDR3 (1600MHz) DIMM slots for up to 16GB RAM, one PCI-Express x16 (@x16) slot and two SATA 6Gbit/s ports. All models also include the latest ASUS UEFI BIOS, Realtek 7.1 audio and USB 3.0 with USB 3.0 Boost technology for data transfer rates up to 1.7 times faster than ordinary USB 3.0 with industry-standard UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) devices.

Exclusive ASUS 5X Protection for long-term reliability

The ASUS H81-Plus, H81M-Plus, H81M-A and H81M-E motherboards feature exclusive ASUS 5X Protection technology for reliable, long-term computing. DIGI+ VRM digital voltage regulation enhances system stability, while resettable fuses protect I/O ports and DIMM slots from short circuits and voltage spikes. Electrostatic-discharge (ESD) guards also protect sensitive components from electromagnetic interference, too. 5X Protection is capped by chromium-plated stainless steel I/O ports that resist corrosion and last up to three times longer than standard ports.

All H81 Series motherboards also feature 100% high-quality 5K solid capacitors last more than twice as long as traditional electrolytic capacitors — over 50 years of continuous use under typical conditions (at 65 degrees Centigrade).
