Consistent DDR3 Motherboard CMB H61 with NVME Slot

Sharing this update after 28 days of full fledged working of consistent motherboard ,few days almost 24/7 operation.Had purchased this to support my 3 rd generation processor as my old asus H61 motherboard was at its end of life.Was searching a board which has nvme support with 2 pci express slots ,one for wifi card and other for graphics card.Plan was earlier to go for zebrionics H61 but since latest updated motherboard from them only features 1 pci express slot and one nvme ,I had to drop it as it didn't suit my build.After many searching and seeing YouTube videos finally closed on this consistent H61 motherboard.Pros:Built quality similar to old asus board.All solid capacitors used.HDMI slot,which old asus board didn't haveMain issue I faced while building this pc was only 1 ram slot was getting detected out of two.Tried many ram options but same issue.Then finally complained to amazon team , Initially their response was as this is not returnable they have to take up with their higher ups and will come back with the best feasible solution within 8 days.In the mean time I was just checking through some YouTube videos on issue on new motherboards if only 1 ram was getting selected .In one of the videos this was the advice given.This I'm sharing to all the people who have similar issues while purchasing this mother board from Amazon site(pls try yourself issue should get resolved).# There are only 2 reasons ,either CPU or the ram slot has some issues with the component burnt otherwise there should be none.# Check clearly both the areas.In my case ram slot checked no issues but while checking the back of processor few of the contact points were fully black or burnt ,tried cleaning but no luck.It so happened I had old core i5 3 rd generation processor with me,which I put in this new board and voila the issue fully resolved.Basis on my experience ,written reply mail to Amazon team on the resolution of the issue to avoid any further wastage of their time.System build:Core i5 3 rd generationRam 12 gb,8+4 ,DDR3,1600mhzNvme SSD:256 gb samsung 970 Evo plusGPU:Gtx960Os:Windows 11 23 H2Till date no issues ,booting time hardly 5 secs with nvme.No lag in opening chrome or any software.Only gap which all will find is understanding the bios ,we may have to select bootmanager manually if windows is installed in nvme.This happened to me when moving from HDD to Nvme SSD.Final conclusion :Go for consistent brand1) Good built quality2) Good pricing3) 2 pci express slots ,one you can use for wifi card and other for GPU card.4) Boot time,very best with old 3rd gen processor and nvme.

Its good and working fine. Build quality is good in this price range.. Audio and video quality is little dull compared to intel motherboards. Buy external usb audio and will do the job.

After 16 month mother board is not working it showing 3 years warranty but we can't claim warranty. Customer care number and email id is fake.no response from customer. Amazon customer care people say they can only do something if they get a rejection letter from the seller.so please don't buy this product

The media could not be loaded. I recently put together a budget build using the Consistent DDR3 Motherboard CMB H61, paired with an Intel Core i5 3rd Gen processor, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and the Western Digital SN570 Blue 250GB NVMe SSD. This setup exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and speed, offering a surprisingly smooth and efficient experience for an older system configuration.Performance:With this combination, the system delivers excellent performance for everyday tasks. The Intel Core i5 3rd Gen still holds its ground, and when paired with 8GB of DDR3 RAM, multitasking is handled without any issues. Applications open quickly, and the system runs smoothly even with multiple tabs open in the browser and light productivity tasks running in the background.Boot Time:One of the most impressive aspects of this build is the boot time. Thanks to the WD SN570 Blue 250GB NVMe SSD, the system boots up in under 13-15 seconds. The speed difference compared to older HDDs or even SATA SSDs is significant. The NVMe drive not only improves boot times but also accelerates the loading of applications and file transfers, making the system feel snappy and responsive.Compatibility:The CMB H61 motherboard integrates seamlessly with this configuration. Despite being based on an older Intel H61 chipset, it supports the 3rd generation i5 processor and allows for 8GB of DDR3 RAM, which is more than sufficient for daily use and light multimedia tasks. The motherboard’s M.2 slot works perfectly with the WD SN570 NVMe SSD via an adapter, providing an easy upgrade path even though the board lacks native NVMe support.Value for Money:This build offers exceptional value for those looking to get the most out of older components. The Consistent CMB H61 motherboard is an affordable yet reliable foundation that allows you to stretch the lifespan of older hardware, especially when combined with modern SSD technology like the WD SN570 Blue. The result is a system that feels modern and responsive without breaking the bank.

Firstly, I was skeptical about ordering a motherboard online, but this one blown my mind with everything. Packaging was so good and installation is very easy. I had Gigabyte G61 and replaced with this one, working perfectly with DDR3 12gb ram and Intel I3 3rd generation processor. All solid capacitors were used. Strongly recommend this one, go for it without any second thought if you want to replace your motherboard. Sata cable in the box is useless, try to use quality one.Overall a value for money deal.

Pros:-cheap, efficient.-Has NVme, m.2-HDMI works well,-Pci express and pci 2.Cons:-Can work either on nvme or sata, not both together. (Physical switch for selection either one at a time)-Only 3 sata-audio front doesn't work, only rear-no usb 3 support

good product but I got different motherboard which does not have pcle×1
