EVM EVMH61FHL H61 DDR3 Mini-ITX Intel Motherboard with NVMe Slot

The EVM EVMH61FHL is a compact Mini-ITX motherboard built around the Intel H61 chipset and designed for the LGA1155 processor socket. It supports Intel 2nd Generation (Sandy Bridge) and 3rd Generation (Ivy Bridge) processors, including Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, Pentium, and Celeron families, making it a practical foundation for budget desktop builds, home-office PCs, and small-form-factor systems. One of the standout features of this board relative to its chipset generation is the inclusion of an M.2 NVMe slot. Standard H61 boards of this era were limited to legacy storage interfaces, so the addition of NVMe connectivity gives builders a meaningful upgrade path — pairing the motherboard with a modern M.2 NVMe SSD can significantly reduce system boot times and application load speeds compared to traditional SATA drives. The Mini-ITX form factor keeps the board footprint small, suiting compact chassis builds where space is a premium. DDR3 memory is supported, which is the native memory type for LGA1155 platform processors, meaning existing DDR3 sticks from legacy systems can often be reused, lowering the total cost of a build or upgrade. This board is particularly well-suited for users repurposing 2nd or 3rd Generation Intel processors for light productivity tasks, point-of-sale terminals, digital signage, or entry-level workstations. The EVM brand focuses on the Indian market with accessible pricing, and the EVMH61FHL represents a cost-aware option for those seeking NVMe readiness without moving to a newer platform. — Verified Specifications — • Chipset: Intel H61 • Socket: LGA1155 • Supported CPU Generations: Intel 2nd Gen (Sandy Bridge) and 3rd Gen (Ivy Bridge) — Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, Pentium, Celeron • Memory Type: DDR3 • Form Factor: Mini-ITX • Storage: M.2 NVMe slot (present per product listing) • Brand: EVM (SKU: EVMH61FHL) Note: Exact DDR3 slot count, maximum supported RAM capacity, rear I/O ports, SATA port count, and PCIe slot configuration are not confirmed in available source data and have been omitted
