B85M PRO LGA 1150 Motherboard (Micro-ATX, DDR3, PCIe 3.0, NVME M.2, SATA 6Gb/s, VGA/DVI/HDMI-Compatible, Gigabit LAN) for Intel 4th Gen Core i7 i5 i3/Pentium/Celeron Series Processors

B85M PRO LGA 1150 Motherboard with 2 * 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM purchased On 25 Nov 2024 For $93.09 From ShangZhaoYuanTLDR: Working perfect so far.I had an ASUS Z97-A that bit the dust after 9 years. CPU LED was lit. I bought a new CPU and that didn't fix it. Bought this motherboard and that fixed it with new CPU. Original CPU and ASUS mobo both died. Both original and new CPUs are i7 4790K. I wasn't sure if RAM was toast so I bought this bundle. Turns out, original RAM was just fine. Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1866 MHz (PC3 15000). Video card (MSI GAMING GeForce GTX 970 4GB ) still works fine. Running Win10 x64. The two sticks of RAM that came with this bundle are being used on another machine.I installed the mobo without the MSI and built in video worked fine, then intalled the MSI in the x16 slot and it automatically switched over just fine.Finding new manufacture mobos to support LGA1150 is of course getting slim. I was surprised the vendor (Maestro Technology LLC) I bought the CPU from originally here on Amazon, still had some for sale. Problem finding mobos gets even worse with Z or H 97 chipsets. Since I never overclocked, the H85 is just fine for my needs. Since I wasn't sure if RAM survived, I got the bundle with the two sticks of RAM.There are additional headers at the bottom of the mobo that the vendors pic doesn't illuminate so I have included two pics with labels. The mobo does clearly mark them. LPC is assumed low pin count diagnosted header though it is dual row 9 out of 10 pins instead of single 9 pin row. UME is assumed universal motherboard extension usually a fan interface. NOTE assumed; I do not know for sure. COM header appears standard if you need it, grab a DB9 Serial Male Port Bracket to 10 Pin Motherboard Header Panel Mount RS232 Serial Adapter cable here on Amazon. No 1. pin appears marked bottom left on all headers. I have a SATA SSD (850 pro), SATA optical drive, USB 3.0, 2.0, media, audio, 5.25 bay multifunction all connected and all works as original.Original power supply (CORSAIR HX750i) still works perfect.The best I can figure why the original build failed was the cooler went out, which took out the CPU, which took out the ASUS mobo. The cooler was a Thermaltake TOUGHLIQUID Ultra 240 AIO Liquid Cooler in a Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 case. I can't provve it but this is typical with liquid coolers, the pumps stop working. No leaks. Another culprit is thermal paste dries out but I didn't see any issues with that in this case. It is noteworthy that the failure occured while on but idle.This time I am using the Peerless Assassin 120SE with my favorite non-conductive Prolimatech PK-3 paste. I've tried the graphene sheets from thermal grizzly and they do work well, won't dry out, but I'm always worried about a conductive fragment shorting something out. Not that I will overclock, I just like a lot of margin when it comes to my CPU cooling.As all have said, no manual and I could not find one on the "product page" as the vendor says in their discription. A google search for SHANGZHAOYUAN results in 91MACHNIST which are also available here on Amazon. Both of which are discussed in other opinion venues as to be avoided. The negative reviews I see here on Amazon deal with reliability/longevity. Rest assured that if this rig fails, I will edit this review just as soon as it fails me. Untill then, this mobo bundle gets 5 stars.

muy mal producto. no cuanta con driveers de instalacion y mucho problema con el video.

I needed a replacement motherboard for my older system that died. Didn't want to spend a lot of money upgrading to a newer model pc as mine suits me perfectly fine. Installed it today and it started right up and worked perfectly. It doesn't come with any sort of instructions, but if you're the type of person who has built PCs before, it's no different than any other motherboard install. The power/reset buttons and hdd light pins are standard configuration and clearly labeled, so it was easy to wire up. The Bios is nothing fancy, but easy to use (hit the delete key to enter bios). It recognized all 5 of my hard drives, dvd drive, 32gb ram and my cpu just fine. Booted right into my previous windows 11 install that I modified to work with the older gen cpu/motherboard. Also nice that is has an M.2 nvme slot, though i don't have one yet to try it out. But like I said, it fires right up with my old hardware and didn't have to update anything and everything works great so far. Will update if it dies or has problems in the next year, but so far I'm happy with it

Wasn’t compatible with my processor, I was not experienced enough to know I needed to check so take this as your warning, prob a great product. I really liked the packaging it looks great and it had up to date gpio pins to like usb headers fan headers etc

I used this motherboard to upgrade from my old one. It's night and day difference and I love it. I wanted to have 4 sticks of ddr3 ram, a nvme ssd. Also so my new 850 watt power supply could run my new rx xfx 6600 xt with a i7-4790 cpu.

The board seems to work, but the bios is junk. It takes for ever to select the boot drive or a usb thumb drivewith os install on it. If It had a better bios,it would be ideal.

worked for i5 4440 lga 1150. only issue is if you are using a pcie card make sure you go in bios and tell it to use the slot not the onboard video which is set default for some reason

Product was okay for the first 10 minutes that I had it I made a mistake by putting the processor in the wrong way and ended up bending one of the pens which was my fault so I'm not blaming it on the company. The motherboard itself looked awesome and it looked like it was manufactured pretty well but I can't give much more detail than that because that was never able to actually turn the motherboard on or anything like that. But all in all it looks were great.
