Thanks to its features and compatibility, the SH81R4 is positioned as an entry-level model that can effectively meet a wide range of needs. Complete mini PC systems based on this model can be found in office desktops, at events, for portable data processing, and in home environments.
Based on the Intel H81 chipset, this motherboard supports a wide range of LGA1150 processors and up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory. Two PCI-Express slots (x16 and x1) allow for expansion via expansion cards. The x16 slot, version 3.0, is also suitable for modern dual-slot graphics cards. SSDs, hard drives, and a 5.25" optical drive can be used thanks to two SATA 6 Gbit/s connections and one SATA 3 Gbit/s connection. Two Mini-PCI-Express slots provide additional expansion options, and one of them also supports mSATA SSDs.
From the outside, both the front and back offer numerous easily accessible connections. The SH81R4 features 2x USB 3.0, 8x USB 2.0, HDMI, DVI, Gigabit Ethernet, and 5.1 audio. Adding the RS-232 and S/PDIF connections on the motherboard, we get a complete package measuring 32.5 x 21.5 x 19 cm (L x W x H).
A speed-regulating heat pipe cooling system with a 92mm fan cools the system effectively, and a powerful, high-efficiency 300-watt power supply reliably provides power.
