Gigabyte H610M H DDR4 Review
The H610M H DDR4 is Gigabyte's most affordable current LGA1700 board, aimed at the most price-sensitive builders assembling a basic office or budget system around a locked-multiplier 12th/13th Gen Intel processor.
Gigabyte does not publish an exact VRM phase count for this entry-tier board; the H610 chipset doesn't support CPU overclocking, so it's designed for stock-clock operation only. Two DDR4 DIMM slots support dual-channel operation at standard speeds. Expansion includes a single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot for the GPU. Storage covers a single M.2 slot supporting NVMe drives. An onboard Gigabit LAN controller handles wired networking; this board does not include built-in WiFi. Against the ASUS Prime H610M-E D4 in this batch, the H610M H DDR4 is limited to a PCIe 3.0 GPU slot instead of PCIe 4.0, making it the more basic of the two entry-level options, typically at a slightly lower price.
