Zajedno sa Z97 serijom ploča i ova je doživjela kozmetičke izmjene u dizajnu kutije, te svakako one bitnije u dizajnu same ploče. Na klasičnoj kutiji s poklopcem, nalaze se sve bitne informacije o proizvodu. Asus trenutno uz ovu ima još četiri H97 modela, od čega su dvije micro-ATX, jedna mini-ITX te jedna ATX. Model kojeg danas testiramo je najjači, a kao dio cijele serije Asus navodi veliku izdržljivost i kompatibilnost ovih ploča sa preko 7000 sati testiranja sa 1000 različitih proizvoda i peterostruku zaštitu koja im produžuje vijek trajanja.

Ploča dolazi zaštićena u zasebnom kartonskom omotaču, te u antistatičkoj vrećici. S obzirom da je riječ o ploči koja spada u niži tržišni razred, bundle nije naročito bogat te se sastoji od četiri SATA 6Gbps kabela, I/O zaštite, medija s upravljačkim programima i aplikacijama, te kao i uvijek iscrpnih uputa za korisnike.

Izgledom, ploča jako podsjeća na jače Z97 modele (Pro i Deluxe), a od njih je jedino uža za oko 2.7 cm (30.5 cm x 21.8 cm), te time stane u kraća kućišta.  PCH hladnjak je sličan onima na Z97 modelima, samo je mali tanji i uži unatoč činjenici kako H97, baš kao i Z97 disipira 4.1 W energije. H97 je u suštini vrlo sličan Z97 čipsetu uz manje mogućnosti  kombiniranja PCIe stazica za grafičke kartice (podržava samo jedan x16 PCIe 3.0 utor), a nedostaje mu podrška za Extreme Tuning Utility. No, ima pridodane Small Business Advantage i identity Protection tehnologije, zbog čega je pogodan za poslovnu upotrebu. Na VRM-u ove ploče se nalazi omanji aluminijski hladnjak koji svoj posao obavlja vrlo solidno i zagrijava se tek kada krenemo s overclockingom. Layout ploče je dobar, ništa ničemu neće smetati, a kompromis zbog nedostatka prostora je tek napravljen kod dva SATA utora koji su morali biti postavljeni vertikalno.
