ASUS Prime H510M-E R2.0 DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS Prime H510M-E R2.0 is a Micro-ATX motherboard engineered around Intel's LGA1200 socket, making it compatible with both 10th Generation and 11th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors. Its compact 8.9 x 8.3 inch (22.6 x 21.1 cm) footprint is ideal for space-efficient desktop builds without sacrificing connectivity or expandability. At the heart of the board is the Intel H510 chipset, paired with two DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 64 GB of non-ECC, unbuffered memory at speeds ranging from DDR4 2133 up to DDR4 3200 (overclocked) depending on the installed processor. Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) support is included for straightforward memory tuning. The dual-channel memory architecture helps maximise bandwidth for productivity and content workloads. Storage flexibility comes via a single M.2 Key-M slot supporting type 2242, 2260, and 2280 drives in both PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA modes, delivering transfer speeds up to 32 Gbps. Four additional SATA 6 Gb/s ports accommodate traditional HDDs and SSDs. For graphics, the board provides one PCIe x16 slot—capable of PCIe 4.0 with 11th Gen processors or PCIe 3.0 with 10th Gen—alongside two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots from the chipset. Display outputs on the rear panel include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and a legacy VGA port, giving users multi-monitor flexibility when using a processor with integrated graphics. Networking is handled by a Realtek 1 Gb Ethernet controller. Audio is powered by a Realtek 7.1 surround sound HD Audio CODEC with dedicated PCB layers, audio shielding, and premium capacitors, supporting up to 24-bit/192 kHz playback. Connectivity is comprehensive: the rear panel offers four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and two USB 2.0 ports, while internal headers add two more USB 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports. Legacy PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports are also present. ASUS Aura Sync RGB is supported via two onboard AURA RGB headers and two Addressable Gen 2 headers for per-LED control of compatible strips and accessories. The board ships with ASUS 5X Protection III safeguards including DIGI+ VRM, LANGuard, overvoltage protection, SafeSlot Core, and a stainless-steel back I/O panel. Fan control is managed through Fan Xpert software and configurable hybrid fan headers. The 128 Mb UEFI AMI BIOS supports CrashFree BIOS 3 and EZ Flash 3 for straightforward firmware updates. Software bundle includes Armoury Crate, AI Suite 3, TurboV EVO, and EPU for power optimisation.
