Intel H310 micro-ATX board for 8th and 9th Gen CPUs

This MSI motherboard uses the Intel H310 chipset and the LGA 1151 socket to support Intel Core 9th Gen, 8th Gen, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors. It fits micro-ATX cases and provides two DDR4 memory slots with a maximum capacity of 32 GB at speeds up to 2666 MHz. Core Boost and DDR4 Boost circuitry aim to deliver stable power and clean signal integrity for everyday computing and gaming builds.

Suits budget builders using 8th

This board suits builders assembling a cost-focused system around an 8th or 9th Gen Intel processor who need basic expansion with one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots. It is not for users who require more than two memory slots, four SATA ports, or advanced overclocking features absent from the H310 chipset. Buyers needing integrated graphics output must avoid F-suffix CPUs, as the VGA port will not function with those models.

Two DDR4 slots limited to 32 GB total

The decisive specification is the two-slot DDR4 layout capped at 32 GB maximum memory. This ceiling determines whether the board can meet the capacity needs of the intended workload, especially for users planning 16 GB modules or future upgrades beyond 32 GB.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise should I expect from the Core Boost power design when the board runs all day?

Core Boost uses a fully digital power layout with premium components to support multi-core CPUs efficiently, which helps keep VRM temperatures lower and fan noise minimal during sustained workloads.

Which power connectors must my PSU provide for this motherboard to start?

The board requires a 24-pin ATX main power connector and an 8-pin ATX 12V CPU power connector; both must be present for the system to boot.

Will my older SATA drives and PCIe 2.0 add-in cards work alongside the new PCIe 3.0 x16 slot?

Four SATA 6Gb/s ports accept existing SATA SSDs and hard drives, while two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots and one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot run older expansion cards at their native speeds.
