Asus Prime H610M-E D4-CSM Desktop Motherboard - Intel H610 Chipset - Socket LGA-1700 - Pentium Gold, Celeron, Core i5, Core i9, Core i3, Core i7 Processor Supported - 64 GB DDR4 SDRAM Maximum RAM - DI

I bought this to upgrade my custom rig from an ASRock Intel 8th gen motherboard. This board works great out of the box. Installed the board along with an Intel I3-12100. I transferred the 16GB RAM and GTX 1650 from the old motherboard and installed Windows 11 without issues. I ran the fan tweak in BIOS and put the fans into "Silent" mode. Board runs great and is rock solid. I do not overlock so I can't say if it does that well or not. ASUS quality is always solid.

I had a spare 14th gen i9 processor and needed a small cheap worker machine to host it. This worked out of the box and I also see that asus put out a bios update to address the i9 voltage issues. Ubuntu Server installed without issue, no driver problems. Unlike their high end ROG motherboards, this little guy doesn't have heat sinks everywhere so there was plenty of room to install a big CPU cooling unit.

Just for what's needed

This is a fine basic board for midrange Intel based systems. If you're on a budget and looking to get into the latest generation Intel chip this will work fine, but keep in mind it lacks overclocking abilities so it's best paired with non K processors. Enthusiasts, especially those who want to overclock, will be better served by a more feature rich chipset. Those building a basic gaming machine on a budget will be served just fine by this board. If you're going beyond the i5 series you'll want at least a B660 chipset. The reason this only gets four stars is the lack of USB ports. It has, I kid you not, FOUR USB PORTS! There is clearly a space where two more used to go, but it appears ASUS cut two of these ports out at some point. Earlier mentions of this board online state it has six. There is no excuse for this and it's definitely something to keep in mind if you're running a lot of USB accessories. PROS - Affordable - Good BIOS software - 2 x M.2 slots. Many boards in this price range have only one. - 2 case fan headers. Again, many boards in this segment have only one. CONS - Only four USB ports, and only two of those are USB 3.0! There is no excuse for this. - Not enough board to fully take advantage of higher end chips. Stick with the i5 for best results.

ASUS never lets us down. They make great components for computers, including motherboards. And this is no exception. It offers great value for performance and supports up to an Intel I-7

Got the mother board ram slot were doa takes 30 days to get a refund ridiculous

I needed a full-sized board for my build and this one was perfect. Easy enough for a noob to install yet still has some great features for a knowledgeable someone to tweak around with. Worked as it should right out of the box, burn-in test completed successfully with no errors.

Qué decir de los productos ASUS que no se haya dicho. Son de una calidad excelente, confiables, facil de instalar y con una variedad enorme de drivers para todo tipo de periférico. Amigable con el medio ambiente pese a quién le pese. Hace la diferencia en la gama de productos para armar tus computadoras. Gracias!

Always love asus.

On my original submission , I had problems updating the bios, and when I did finally get it in, the file I downloaded from microsoft wouldn’t install. Then after spending a few hours with an Asus tech, I found that there were no instructions revealing that the media file had to be unzipped prior to plugging the usb into the computer. All it would take , is larger font in the manual , more explicit instructions to reduce consumer time to get it running!1!

It’s working really well. Very stable. The only issue was it didn’t include the back i/o plate
