FAQ
What is HDCP and why does it matter?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is required to play commercially protected Blu-ray and streaming content at full quality. The H81MHP2's HDMI port supports HDCP, ensuring compatibility with HDCP-compliant displays.
Does the H81MHP2 support USB 3.0 natively?
Yes, the H81 chipset on this board provides two native USB 3.0 ports, delivering up to 5 Gbps transfer speed without requiring an add-in card.
Can I use the H81MHP2 with a dedicated graphics card and still use the HDMI output?
The HDMI output is tied to the CPU's integrated GPU. When a discrete GPU is installed, the display output typically routes through the discrete card rather than the onboard HDMI unless configured otherwise in the BIOS.
