ASUS H110M-CS DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The ASUS H110M-CS is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel H110 chipset with an LGA1151 socket, offering a compact and reliable foundation for budget-conscious desktop builds using Intel's 6th Generation (Skylake) Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors. ASUS also lists 7th Generation (Kaby Lake) CPU support in the product listing, though buyers should confirm BIOS revision compatibility before purchasing. Memory support covers two DIMM slots capable of holding up to 32GB of DDR4 at a native speed of 2133 MHz, with Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) compatibility for enthusiast memory kits. A single PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 slot accommodates a discrete graphics card, supplemented by two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots for additional expansion cards. For storage, four SATA 6Gb/s ports connect drives via the Intel H110 chipset, with Intel Rapid Storage Technology support. ASUS's 5X Protection II suite underpins the board's durability. This includes LANGuard hardware-level networking protection with signal-coupling technology and anti-EMI capacitors, Overvoltage Protection via built-in voltage regulators, DIGI+ VRM with a 4-phase digital power design, DRAM Overcurrent Protection, a stainless-steel back I/O panel with corrosion-resistance, and ESD Guards rated to ±10kV air discharge and ±6kV contact discharge. Connectivity at the rear I/O includes two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, one D-Sub (VGA) output, one Gigabit LAN port (Realtek RTL8111H), PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, and three audio jacks. Onboard audio is handled by the Realtek ALC887-VD2 8-channel HD Audio CODEC with dedicated PCB layers and audio shielding for reduced interference. Two additional USB 3.0 ports are accessible via a 19-pin internal header, and integrated Intel HD Graphics supports a maximum resolution of 1920×1200 @ 60Hz over the VGA output. Fan management is handled by ASUS Fan Xpert, which supports 4-pin/3-pin PWM/DC fan headers for the CPU and chassis fans. The UEFI AMI BIOS (128Mb Flash ROM) includes ASUS EZ Flash 3, CrashFree BIOS 3, and DRAM SPD readout. The Q-Slot latch enables tool-friendly graphics card removal. A 3-year manufacturer warranty is included.
