Our take on the SHANGZHAOYUAN H97M PRO Motherboard

The SHANGZHAOYUAN H97M PRO is a micro-ATX motherboard for Intel's LGA 1150 (Socket H3) CPUs, the 2013–2014 Haswell and Broadwell generation. It has four DDR3 slots, an M.2 slot, a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot, a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot and a legacy PCI slot, in a 243 x 193 mm board. It is a budget, no-frills board for reviving or building a cheap Haswell system, not a current platform. No price was given for this listing, so no price comparison is possible here.

Spare-parts builds with DDR3 memory already on hand
Pros
  • Four DDR3 slots, more than most budget boards of this class
  • M.2 slot plus PCIe x16, x1 and legacy PCI for older cards
  • Micro-ATX size fits small and standard cases
  • LGA 1150 supports a wide range of cheap used Haswell and Broadwell CPUs
Cons
  • DDR3 only, and DDR3 is no longer made, so memory comes from the used market
  • PCIe 2.0 and an older chipset limit modern GPUs and NVMe drives
  • No current CPU support: nothing newer than Broadwell fits
  • Obscure brand with little documentation, BIOS support or warranty coverage
  • No USB-C, Wi-Fi or modern connectivity listed

Questions and answers

Is this board worth buying?
Only if you already have an LGA 1150 CPU and DDR3 memory. For a new build, a current socket board costs more but supports modern CPUs, DDR4/DDR5 and PCIe 4.0.
Which CPUs fit it?
Intel LGA 1150 chips: 4th-gen Haswell (Core i3/i5/i7-4xxx) and some 5th-gen Broadwell parts. Check the board's CPU support list before buying, since BIOS support varies.
Does it take DDR4?
No. It uses DDR3 SDRAM in four slots. Buy matched DDR3 kits, and note that DDR3 is only available used or from leftover stock.
Can I use an NVMe SSD in the M.2 slot?
The M.2 slot on H97-era boards is typically PCIe 2.0 x2 or SATA, so an NVMe drive will run well below its rated speed. A SATA SSD is the safer choice.
What comes in the box?
Expect the board, a SATA cable and an I/O shield at most. No price or box contents were listed, so confirm with the seller before ordering.
When is it cheapest?
No price history was provided for this listing. Older LGA 1150 boards tend to be cheapest on the used market, where supply is fading.
