Socket and chipset

This MSI H310M PRO-VDH PLUS board uses the LGA 1151 (300 Series) socket and the Intel H310 chipset. It accepts 8th and 9th generation Core i7, i5, i3, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. The micro-ATX form factor fits smaller cases while keeping a full set of rear I/O.

Who it suits and who it does not

Builders who need a basic platform for office work, home media or a single-GPU desktop will find the feature set adequate. Enthusiasts who want CPU overclocking, multiple graphics cards or more than two memory modules should choose a board with a Z-series chipset and four DIMM slots.

Memory capacity limit

Two DDR4 slots support up to 32 GB running at 2666 MHz in dual-channel mode. If the planned system requires more than 32 GB or four populated slots, this motherboard cannot meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How hot does the H310M PRO-VDH PLUS run when the CPU is under full load all day?

The board uses a 4-pin CPU fan header and heatsinks on the power phases to dissipate heat; actual temperature depends on the cooler and case airflow you pair with it.

Which memory kit do I need so the H310M PRO-VDH PLUS posts on first boot?

Install DDR4 modules rated for 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz; the board has two 288-pin slots and supports up to 32 GB in dual-channel mode.

Will my existing SATA SSD and PCIe 3.0 x16 graphics card work with the H310M PRO-VDH PLUS?

Yes — four SATA 6Gb/s ports accept your SSD, and the full-size PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot takes the graphics card without an adapter.
