H310 Micro-ATX for 8th Gen Intel

The MSI H310M PRO-VDH is a Micro-ATX motherboard built around the Intel H310 chipset for 8th Generation Intel Core processors using the LGA 1151 (300 Series) socket. It provides a compact foundation for office or home PCs that need integrated graphics output and basic expansion. The board measures 8.9" x 7.3" and fits standard Micro-ATX cases.

Upgrade from older LGA 1151 boards

This board replaces earlier LGA 1151 motherboards that do not support the 300 Series chipset. It is not backward compatible with 6th or 7th Generation CPUs, so the jump is only worth it when moving to an 8th Generation processor. The updated BIOS ships current, removing the need for a legacy CPU to flash it.

32 GB DDR4 dual-channel capacity

Two 288-pin DDR4 slots run in dual-channel mode and support up to 32 GB of system memory. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports handle multiple hard drives or SSDs for bulk storage. Realtek ALC887 8-channel audio and RTL8111H 1Gbps LAN cover everyday sound and wired networking. Video output relies on the CPU's integrated graphics through D-Sub, DVI and HDMI ports.

Questions about this item

Will this Micro ATX board fit in a case that accepts 8.9 x 7.3 inch dimensions?

Yes, the board measures 8.9 by 7.3 inches and uses the Micro ATX form factor, so any case that supports that size will accommodate it.

Which CPU socket must I use and what is the common installation mistake?

Install an 8th Generation Intel Core processor into the LGA 1151 (300 Series) socket; the frequent error is trying to use an older LGA 1151 CPU, which is not compatible.

What memory upgrades does this board support later?

Two 288-pin DDR4 slots accept up to 32 GB total in dual-channel mode; only DDR4 modules are compatible.
