Compact LGA 1151 foundation

The MSI H310I PRO is a Mini-ITX motherboard built around the Intel H310 chipset for 8th generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors using the LGA 1151 socket. Its small footprint suits compact system builds where space is limited. The board delivers essential connectivity for a basic desktop platform.

Dual-channel DDR4 ceiling

Memory support tops out at 32 GB across two slots running at 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz. A single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot provides the only high-speed expansion path for a graphics card or other add-in board. Storage connects through one M.2 interface and four SATA III ports, while networking relies on a Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN controller.

32 GB memory limit

The maximum supported capacity of 32 GB is the decisive figure when choosing this board; systems needing more RAM must look elsewhere. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC887 codec delivering 7.1 channel output. Rear I/O includes two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports and three USB 2.0 ports, with additional headers for two more USB 3.1 Gen1 and two USB 2.0 connections internally.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a 16 GB or 32 GB DDR4 kit for this board?

The board supports up to 32 GB across two slots, so a 32 GB kit uses the full capacity while a 16 GB kit leaves room for a later upgrade.

What does the 2666 MHz DDR4 rating mean once the board is running?

With 8th Gen Intel Core processors the memory controller tops out at 2666 MHz, so modules rated at that speed will run at their rated frequency without manual tuning.

What does the single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot limit for expansion cards?

The slot provides one full-length PCIe 3.0 x16 connection, so only one graphics card or other x16 device can be installed at a time.
