Socket and chipset

This MSI H310M PRO-VL motherboard uses the Intel H310 chipset and an LGA 1151 socket. It supports 8th Generation Intel Core processors along with Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs. The Micro ATX form factor fits a wide range of chassis.

Memory capacity and speed

Dual-channel DDR4 memory runs at 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. Builders who need more than 32 GB or faster memory standards should consider a different platform.

Primary expansion slot

A single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot provides the main graphics or add-in card connection. Two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots are available for additional expansion cards. Systems requiring multiple x16 slots or newer PCIe generations will need another board.

Questions about this item

How do I install the CPU into the LGA 1151 socket without bending pins?

Lift the retention lever, align the processor notches with the socket keys, place the chip gently without force, lower the frame, and lock the lever back down; the socket has no pins to bend, so the only risk is seating the CPU crooked.

When will the onboard Realtek ALC887 audio or RTL8111H LAN need a driver update?

Update the audio and network drivers after the OS install and whenever Windows Update or the MSI support page releases a newer WHQL package; the hardware itself does not wear out.

At what memory speed does the dual-channel DDR4 controller stop scaling under heavy load?

The board officially supports DDR4 up to 2666 MHz; running modules rated higher will default to 2666 MHz, so that ceiling is the first limit you hit during sustained memory-intensive work.
