Gigabyte H610M S2H V2 Micro-ATX DDR5 Motherboard

Gigabyte H610M S2H V2 DDR5 Micro-ATX Motherboard

A compact, low-cost DDR5 board for 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel office PCs, with four display outputs including legacy VGA.

The Gigabyte H610M S2H V2 DDR5 is the board to pick when you want a modern LGA1700 processor and DDR5 memory in the smallest, most economical package. It supports 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors and takes up to 128GB of DDR5 across two DIMMs, running at up to 5600 MT/s with a 13th or 14th Gen Core i7 or i9 (4800 MT/s with other processors). At 22.3 x 19.6cm it fits almost any Micro-ATX or small-tower case. Punch can build it into a complete office system.

Storage and expansion

A single M.2 slot accepts 2280 or 2260 NVMe drives at PCIe 3.0 x4, and four SATA 6Gb/s ports cover hard drives or SATA SSDs. The graphics slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x16 from the processor for a discrete card if required, and a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot is available for a network or sound card.

Connectivity and displays

Four video outputs make this board unusually flexible for multi-monitor office desks: HDMI 2.1, two DisplayPort 1.2 and a D-Sub port for older VGA screens, with up to three displays active at once from the processor’s integrated graphics. The rear panel also carries two USB 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports, a PS/2 keyboard/mouse port, Realtek Gigabit Ethernet and three audio jacks. Front-panel headers add two USB 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports. There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Business features

A TPM header, chassis intrusion header, serial port header, speaker header and three fan headers (CPU plus two system) give IT departments what they need for managed desktops, and Gigabyte’s Q-Flash keeps BIOS updates simple.

Ideal for

• Low-cost office and reception PCs with two or three monitors
• Systems that still need a VGA output for an older display or projector
• Entry-level DDR5 builds around a Core i3 or Core i5
