Gigabyte H610M H V2 DDR5 Motherboard

The GIGABYTE H610M H V2 is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on Intel's H610 chipset with the LGA1700 socket, making it compatible with Intel Core 12th Generation (Alder Lake), 13th Generation (Raptor Lake), and 14th Generation (Raptor Lake Refresh) processors, as well as Intel Pentium Gold and Celeron series CPUs. It is designed as an accessible entry point into the DDR5 platform without sacrificing key connectivity or feature options expected in a modern desktop build. Memory support is provided through two DDR5 DIMM slots operating in dual-channel configuration. The board accepts non-ECC unbuffered DDR5 modules in 1Rx8, 2Rx8, and 1Rx16 configurations, along with ECC unbuffered DIMM 1Rx8/2Rx8 modules running in non-ECC mode. Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) is supported, and memory speeds can reach up to DDR5-5600 (subject to CPU and memory configuration). Maximum addressable memory is 128 GB. For storage, the board features one M.2 Socket 3 connector supporting NVMe drives via PCIe 3.0 x4, alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports for conventional drives. Expansion is handled by one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for discrete graphics and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot for peripheral cards. Display output is available through a D-Sub (VGA) port and an HDMI port on the rear panel, enabling use with the integrated graphics of compatible Intel processors. Networking is handled by a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) LAN port with bandwidth management capabilities. The rear I/O panel includes one PS/2 keyboard/mouse port, one D-Sub port, one HDMI port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-A) ports, four USB 2.0/1.1 ports, one RJ-45 LAN port, and three audio jacks. Internal connectivity covers a 24-pin ATX main power connector, an 8-pin ATX 12V power connector, one CPU fan header, two system fan headers, one RGB LED strip header, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 internal header, two USB 2.0/1.1 internal headers, a front panel header, front panel audio header, speaker header, TPM header (for GC-TPM2.0 SPI V2 module), serial port header, Clear CMOS jumper, and a chassis intrusion header. Thermal management is supported through GIGABYTE's Smart Fan 6 feature set, which provides multiple temperature sensor inputs and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP capability, allowing fan curves to be tuned for silent or performance-oriented operation. The 4+1+1 Hybrid Digital VRM design supports stable power delivery for the supported processor range. Audio quality is addressed through high-quality audio capacitors and an audio noise guard to reduce electromagnetic interference from the rest of the board. GIGABYTE's Anti-Sulfur Resistor design is included for improved long-term board reliability in environments with higher levels of airborne contaminants. The board ships with a 3-year manufacturer warranty and is supported by GIGABYTE APP Center software for system monitoring and fan control. — Verified Specifications — Socket: LGA1700 | Chipset: Intel H610 | Form Factor: Micro-ATX | Memory: 2x DDR5 DIMM, Dual Channel, Non-ECC Unbuffered, XMP, up to DDR5-5600, max 128 GB | Storage: 1x M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe) + 4x SATA 6 Gb/s | PCIe: 1x PCIe 4.0 x16, 1x PCIe 3.0 x1 | Display: 1x D-Sub, 1x HDMI | USB (rear): 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 4x USB 2.0 | LAN: 1x GbE RJ-45 | Warranty: 3 Years
