LGA 1151 Micro ATX platform

The MSI H170M PRO-VDH is an Intel H170 motherboard built for the LGA 1151 socket. It accepts 6th generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors plus Pentium and Celeron models. The board uses the Micro ATX form factor so it fits a wide range of chassis.

Dual-channel DDR4 and expansion layout

Four memory slots support dual-channel DDR4 2133MHz up to 64GB total. One PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots provide room for a graphics card and add-in cards. Six SATA III ports and one SATA Express interface handle storage drives. Six USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and six USB 2.0 ports cover peripherals.

Realtek audio and gigabit LAN under load

The Realtek ALC887 codec delivers 7.1 channel audio while the Realtek RTL8111H controller manages gigabit networking. Both controllers are designed for continuous operation during extended sessions. The board ships with a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and an I/O back panel.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 2133MHz memory can the H170M PRO-VDH support in dual-channel mode?

The board supports up to 64GB of dual-channel DDR4 2133MHz memory across its four DIMM slots.

What are the thermal and acoustic characteristics when the H170 chipset and Realtek RTL8111H LAN run continuously?

The H170 chipset uses passive cooling, so it adds no fan noise; the Realtek RTL8111H gigabit LAN draws minimal power and generates little extra heat during all-day operation.

Which processor and cooler mounting hardware must I already have for this LGA 1151 Micro ATX board?

You need a 6th generation Intel Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium or Celeron CPU for the LGA 1151 socket plus a cooler that fits the standard LGA 1151 mounting pattern.
