- Falsely advertised chipset
This motherboard uses a different chipset than the one advertised by the vendor. In most cases, a lower tier chipset was used in order to save costs. It is likely that the board may not have the same levels of performance as one equipped with genuine parts.
Beware that issues regarding BIOS and driver compatibility may arise as well, so double check with any hardware reporting software what chipset is actually installed on the board before proceeding any further.
Despite the name, this motherboard has an Intel H81 chipset instead of B85.
The M.2 slot is (most likely) wired through the PCIe bus as H81 chipset does not natively support M.2.
Some variants have three SATA ports instead of four.
