GIGABYTE H410 MS2H DDR4 Intel Motherboard

The Gigabyte H410 MS2H is a Micro ATX motherboard built on Intel's H410 Express Chipset, designed to support 10th Generation Intel Core i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors in the LGA1200 socket. Its compact 22.6 cm x 18.5 cm footprint makes it a practical choice for space-conscious builds without sacrificing the connectivity expected from a modern platform. Memory flexibility is a strong point of this board. Two DDR4 DIMM slots support dual-channel operation with a total capacity of up to 64 GB (32 GB per slot). Core i9 and i7 processors unlock speeds up to DDR4 2933 MHz, while i5, i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors support up to DDR4 2666 MHz. XMP profiles are also supported for enthusiast memory kits. For storage, the H410 MS2H provides one M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, types 2242/2260/2280) supporting both SATA and PCIe Gen3 x2 SSDs, alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. This combination covers both NVMe and traditional drive configurations. The board's onboard graphics output covers three display interfaces: one D-Sub port (up to 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz), one DVI-D port (up to 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz), and one HDMI 1.4 port (up to 4096x2160 @ 30 Hz, HDCP 2.3 compliant). Dual-display output is supported simultaneously with a maximum shared memory of 512 MB. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC887 codec delivering High Definition Audio with 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel support and high-quality audio capacitors, complemented by an audio noise guard that electrically separates analog components from digital noise on the PCB. Networking is provided by a Realtek GbE LAN chip supporting 1000/100 Mbit speeds, bundled with the Realtek 8118 Gaming LAN Bandwidth Control Utility. Expansion options include one PCIe x16 slot and two PCIe x1 slots, all conforming to PCIe 3.0. USB connectivity spans four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (two rear, two internal header) and six USB 2.0/1.1 ports (four rear, two internal header). Rear I/O also includes PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, an RJ-45 port, and three audio jacks. Smart Fan 5 technology provides multiple temperature sensors and fan speed control through hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP capability. Additional platform features include one RGB LED strip header, a Trusted Platform Module header, AMI UEFI BIOS with Q-Flash support, and a Glass Fabric PCB designed to reduce moisture penetration. Anti-sulfur resistors further extend board longevity in adverse environments.
