ASRock B560M Pro4 vs Gigabyte H610M H DDR4: Comparison
ASRock B560M Pro4 vs Gigabyte H610M H DDR4 memory slots compared
The gap that matters here is memory slots: ASRock B560M Pro4 4 against Gigabyte H610M H DDR4 2, which puts ASRock B560M Pro4 50% ahead. ASRock B560M Pro4 also leads on max memory, 128 GB on the ASRock B560M Pro4 versus 64 GB on the Gigabyte H610M H DDR4. ASRock B560M Pro4 also leads on m.2 slots, 2 on the ASRock B560M Pro4 versus 1 on the Gigabyte H610M H DDR4. There is a split on networking as well, Gigabit LAN via Intel I219V on the ASRock B560M Pro4 versus Intel GbE LAN on the Gigabyte H610M H DDR4.
Who each one is for
The ASRock B560M Pro4 suits the most budget-conscious LGA1200 builds that still want PCIe 4.0 and builders who don't need built-in WiFi, though it is the wrong buy for overclocking-focused builds (the B560 chipset doesn't support it). It is not the one for anyone who wants WiFi included without buying the separate Pro4/ac variant. Buy the Gigabyte H610M H DDR4 for the most budget-conscious LGA1700 builds and basic office or light gaming systems using a locked-multiplier chip, though it is not built for anyone who wants a PCIe 4.0 GPU slot and builds that want four memory DIMM slots.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Form factor, platform, pcie 5.0 support, wi-fi onboard and primary graphics slot gen read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 3 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Do the ASRock B560M Pro4 and Gigabyte H610M H DDR4 differ on socket?
Yes. Socket reads Intel 11th Gen / 10th Gen Core on the ASRock B560M Pro4 versus Intel 12th / 13th / 14th Gen Core, Pentium... on the Gigabyte H610M H DDR4.
Is the Max Ethernet Speed the same on the ASRock B560M Pro4 and Gigabyte H610M H DDR4?
It is. Both are listed at 1 Gbps, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
