The G530 processor pairs well with either an H61 or B75 motherboard. These two motherboards are designed for entry-level processors based on the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge architectures.
The arrival of B75 motherboards has driven H61 models down to under 300 yuan. For example, the ASRock H61 motherboard is currently priced at just 299 yuan—it’s a second-tier brand with solid build quality and materials, offering excellent value for money. In contrast, B75 motherboards generally start at around 400 yuan or higher. Compared to the H61, the B75 stands out by featuring native SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0 ports.
