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.

It is compatible with windows 10 i just cut 1 star because at starting it shows screen blunder for 2 to 3 times...but now it is very good in performance.It has problem with windows xp installation as this might not support that graphics.But it is best segment for low end pc ...2nd and 3rd gen processors.In my case i3 2nd gen is working efficiently

Zero Star,Very Bad product, the motherboard can't boot any device, its dead motherboard,The picture on Amazon site, they are showing the swith near the NVMe port for change the SATA to NVMe,But actual product is different, They send me the old motherboard it has jumper instead of switch, and they are not provided proper guid for change the jumper settings, and also Customer service of Consistent is very bad, they couldn't get any reply, and not pick up a call,I have returned the dead motherboard, better to by other brand

Motherboard is of good quality, working smoothly. But i've faced an issue with nvme m2 ssd. The solution was very simple but consistent company and amazon technical team lack in providing solution.I've used nvme ssd but it didn't worked or detected by motherboard. So i contacted consistent and asked them for solution. Funny thing, the service provider girl had poor or no knowledge about the products. She said the motherboard works with nvme not nvme m.2 ssd, rather than arguing i said ok so what should i do to make it work? She said motherboard didn't detect it so motherboards is defective, ask amazon to exchange or send motherboard to local consistent store for replacement.Contacted amazon, they asked me to take pic of motherboard with current date and my name and submit it to amazon & wait for 3 days for solution. Did the same but no response. Tried contacting them and they asked me to submit the pic again and wait for 3 days again, followed the process and did the same but still no response from amazon.Than i was ready to send motherboard to consistent store for replacement as it was the only option but I don't know from where i got the idea, i just felt what if i have to turn nvme on or off may be? so i opened the motherboard packing and checked it there and boom!! There was a switching right/left button to nvme or sata just above the nvme slot. It was set to sata so I switched to nvme and done. It detected the nvme m.2 ssd and worked.So consistent product may or may not have good quality but the customer service is definitely not good to resolve the issue rather than asking to send your device for repair.

Good Product in this price range with m.2 nvme SSD support
