GIGABYTE B460M DS3H DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The Gigabyte B460M DS3H is a Micro ATX motherboard built around the Intel B460 Express Chipset and the LGA1200 socket, making it compatible with 10th Generation Intel Core i9, i7, i5, and i3 processors as well as Intel Pentium and Celeron processors. Its compact 24.4 cm x 22.5 cm footprint fits a wide range of mid-tower and compact cases without sacrificing connectivity or expandability. Memory capacity is a strong point: four DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 128 GB of system memory in a dual-channel configuration. When paired with Core i9 or i7 processors, speeds of up to DDR4 2933 MHz are supported; Core i5, i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors top out at DDR4 2666 MHz. XMP profiles are supported, and the board can operate ECC unbuffered DIMMs in non-ECC mode. Storage options are equally versatile. A single M.2 Socket 3 connector (M key, type 2242/2260/2280) accommodates both SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSDs, with PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth delivering up to 32 Gb/s. Six SATA 6 Gb/s ports complement this, and the board supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. Intel Optane Memory is also supported. Display output comes via the onboard Intel HD Graphics processor. Three video outputs are available simultaneously: a D-Sub port (1920x1200 @ 60 Hz), a DVI-D port (1920x1200 @ 60 Hz), and an HDMI 1.4 port (up to 4096x2160 @ 30 Hz with HDCP 2.3 support). Maximum shared memory is 512 MB. Connectivity includes Realtek Gigabit Ethernet (1000/100 Mbit) and a full complement of USB ports: six USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (four on the back panel, two via internal header), two USB 2.0/1.1 ports on the back panel, and four additional USB 2.0/1.1 ports via internal headers. Audio is handled by the Realtek ALC887 codec with High Definition Audio and 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel output support. Expansion slots include one PCIe x16 slot running at x16 and two PCIe x1 slots, all conforming to PCIe 3.0. RGB enthusiasts will appreciate two addressable LED strip headers and two standard RGB LED strip headers onboard. The BIOS uses Gigabyte's dual-chip AMI UEFI implementation with DualBIOS protection. Software utilities in Gigabyte's APP Center — including @BIOS, EasyTune, Fast Boot, Game Boost, Ambient LED, Smart Backup, Q-Flash, and Xpress Install — round out the platform.
