Which Intel Haswell chipset : H81 vs B85 - Pulled the trigger

Hi Friends

I'm confused with between two Intel Haswell chipsets: H81 vs B85 having a HDMI interface.

B85 has everything that H81 has plus ...

1. PCIe 3.0 support (offered by Gigabyte, Asus, ASRock,etc)
2. Few Extra USB 3.0 ports (I do not need those extra ports)
3. Few extra SATA3 6gbps ports (I do not need those extra ports)

So for my requirement, only difference is in PCIe2.0 vs PCIe3.0.
Now, what is the benefit of AN extra PCIe3.0 port ?
Does that justify the extra price I have to pay for B85 over H81 ?

Note: I do not have any plan to buy a graphics card right now, but in future I may consider for one.

which cpu you are going with ?

There is no performance difference between Pci-E 2.0 and Pci-E 3.0


you can add another gpu in second pci-e slot or any other cards to it

Finally I'm going for i3-4130 and I have already bought my AOC 23" i2369vm monitor which all input ports: VGA, DVI, HDMI and DP

And I had one DVB-S PCI card which I have already sold it, so I do not need any legacy PCI slots too.

But want a budget durable Haswell board with HDMI/DisplayPort interface.
Please suggest now.

I have read somewhere that, Every PCIe next generation has DOUBLE the speed of its previous generation :) So PCIe3.0 has double speed of PCIe2.0

you can go with Gigabyte H81-s2pv @ 4.2k,though it have only vga and hdmi port.

for hdmi port mobo's you need to get b85 chipsets

Surprise to know that NOT A SINGLE STORE IN CTC, HYDERABD HAS H81 BOARDS!!! More fun is that they even do not know H81 board exists !!!

When I asked one of the dealer for such backwardness of Hyderabad h/w market, he got hurt. He immediately told me show me if such board exists by passing his laptop. Then I showed him all 19 Gigabyte models. Then he made several calls some people (another stores) and told me we have one. When I asked about model he said its a Asus basic model without HDMI port and costs Rs 5500/- !!!

All the dealers are selling B85 or H87.

Hi Friends


I was deciding for a DDR3 RAM for i3-4130 and found many suggestions here @TG for Kingston HyperX Blue DDR3 4GB 1600 ram, which operates at 1.65v.


But in few reviews of that RAM, people are saying it will not work with i3-4130 processor which needs an 1.5v ram. Is it true ? If so any other good ram for i3-4130 ?

Hyderabad computer hardware market is way behind other cities. Even you will get cheaper price online than the market price of CTC, Hyderabad.

And I surprised to hear from a dealer saying, "The price of any product is same at all stores and we keep track of a person how many shops he/she visits !!!" Means, Do they deploy spies behind a customer ??? and also they all operate like a gang ??? I wish its not true.

Everyday morning they starts their shop with a piece of price list for that day which is very difficult to read (very very small fonts).

why dont you post source if you see something like this?
4130 should work well with 1.65v ram.

Why do you want 8 GB ram? Even 4 GB is enough.
