MSI PRO H610M-S M-ATX Motherboard

The MSI PRO H610M-S is a Micro-ATX form factor motherboard built on Intel’s H610 chipset, designed for the LGA1700 socket. It is compatible with Intel Core processors from the 12th, 13th, and 14th generations, as well as Intel Pentium Gold and Celeron processors on the same socket. This makes it a versatile foundation for productivity-focused builds that need room to grow across CPU generations without a board change. Memory support centres on DDR5, with dual-channel configuration and a maximum capacity of 128 GB at speeds up to 5600 MHz. The board supports Intel XMP 3.0 for straightforward memory profile selection, alongside Intel POR and JEDEC standard speeds. Only non-ECC, unbuffered memory modules are supported. For expansion, the PRO H610M-S provides one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot wired directly to the CPU, delivering up to 64 GB/s of bandwidth. A secondary PCIe 3.0 x1 slot from the chipset is also available. The primary x16 slot is reinforced with MSI’s Steel Armor — additional solder points that protect heavier graphics cards against physical flex and reduce electromagnetic interference at the slot interface. Video output is handled via a single HDMI port on the rear panel, supporting CPU-integrated graphics. The rear I/O further includes USB 2.0 ports, a USB 5 Gbps Type-A port, a Gigabit LAN port, and audio connectors. Internal connectivity includes headers for 4x USB 2.0, 2x USB 5 Gbps Type-A, one CPU fan, one system fan, front panel audio (JAUD), a COM port header, chassis intrusion header, and a TPM 2.0 pin header. MSI backs this board with a 3-year warranty.
