ANT VALUE H61MAD3-N DDR3 Intel Motherboard

The ANT Value H61MAD3-N is a Micro-ATX form-factor motherboard built on the Intel H61 chipset and designed around the LGA 1155 socket. It supports 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors, making it a practical platform for budget desktop builds, office workstations, and light media systems. Memory support is provided via DDR3 slots rated up to 1600 MHz, giving users flexibility when pairing with affordable DDR3 kits. Expansion is handled by one PCI-E x16 slot for a discrete graphics card and one PCI-E x1 slot for additional peripherals, keeping the platform versatile despite its compact footprint. Storage options include one M.2 SSD slot alongside four SATA II 3 Gb/s ports, allowing users to combine fast solid-state and traditional spinning-disk storage. Connectivity is covered by eight USB 2.0 ports for peripherals and a Realtek 8105E 10/100 Mbps wired LAN port. Audio is handled by an onboard Realtek ALC662 6-channel HD audio codec, providing multi-channel sound output without requiring a separate sound card. Power delivery comes through a 4-pin ATX connector, and the board uses ferrite chokes and Japanese capacitors — as noted by the source — for stable power to the CPU. The front-panel header area includes a USB 3.0 internal header for case connectivity. The board ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty from ANT Value.
