ASUS Prime H410M-E DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS Prime H410M-E is a Micro-ATX motherboard built around the Intel H410 chipset, designed to support 10th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors in the LGA 1200 socket. With its compact 8.9 x 7.9-inch (22.6 x 20.3 cm) footprint, it fits neatly into mATX and ATX mid-tower cases, making it a practical choice for space-conscious desktop builds, home office rigs, and entry-level DIY PC projects. Memory flexibility is a key strength of this platform. Two DIMM slots support up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory running at speeds of 2133, 2400, 2666, 2800, or 2933 MHz in non-ECC, unbuffered configuration with dual-channel architecture. Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) support allows compatible memory kits to run at their rated speeds without manual tuning. For storage, the board provides a single M.2 Socket 3 (M-Key) slot accommodating 2242, 2260, and 2280 form-factor drives via both SATA and PCIe 3.0 x2 modes, alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports — giving you flexibility to combine a fast NVMe or SATA SSD with traditional hard drives. Expansion is handled by one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (running at x16 mode from the CPU) and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots from the H410 chipset. Display output for integrated graphics is available via D-Sub and HDMI 1.4b ports on the rear I/O panel. Audio is managed by the Realtek ALC887 codec, delivering 7.1-channel HD audio with up to 24-bit/192 kHz playback, audio shielding, dedicated audio PCB layers, and premium Japanese audio capacitors. Networking is handled by a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN controller with ASUS LANGuard surge protection. USB connectivity totals ten ports across rear and front headers: four rear ports (2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 2x USB 2.0) and six front-panel ports (2x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 4x USB 2.0). Legacy PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports are also present on the rear panel. ASUS 5X Protection III safeguards include DIGI+ VRM, LANGuard, Overvoltage Protection, SafeSlot Core, and Stainless-Steel Back I/O. The UEFI AMI BIOS (128 Mb Flash ROM) supports ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 and EZ Flash 3 for straightforward firmware management. The board carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
