Did you update your BIOS yet? If not first do that. Updating the BIOS may well resolve the HDD priority issue. If not post back.

If you purchased this board new from a store as an H87M I would return it, if you purchased it second hand as an H87M then someone ripped you off. 

Note the Etron Tech controller under the USB 3.0 header and the unused SATA pin traces on the motherboard. The heatsink is also not the correct one for the H87M. My N3150M motherboard had the N3150M label stuck over an N3700M screen printed label on the PCB. 

If you are unable to return the board and have to choice but to keep using it then update your BIOS using the H81M BIOS (which is in fact the board you have).

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. 





thank u so much bro , unfortunetly i can't return the board

* these dayes i faced another problem , when i turn on the computer i lose HDD Priority (i've two HDD) this cause unbootable  windows , this forced me to reset  priority more one time

So your board is labeled as H87M but the BIOS is saying it is an H81M?

If possible please post a pic of your motherboard so we can compare it to both the H81M and the H87M to determine exactly what board you have.

For your reference:


The 2 boards are almost identical but the H87M has 6 SATA 3.0 ports vs 2 SATA 3.0 and 2 SATA 2.0 on the H87M. You will also note the absence of the "Etron Tech" controller on the H87M which uses the H87 chipset to provide the same functionality rather than having to use a 3rd party controller.
