Motherboard ASROCK H810M‑X micro ATX Intel H810 LGA 1851 DDR5 2× DIMM 128GB M.2 2.5GbE HDMI DisplayPort

ASRock H810M-X is a compact X Series micro-ATX motherboard designed to balance performance, versatility and reliability for professional and everyday tasks. The board supports Intel LGA1851 socket processors (Intel Core Ultra Series 2) and offers DDR5 memory support, multiple storage options including a Hyper M.2 Gen4 x4 slot, integrated 2.5 Gb/s LAN and front-panel USB Type-C for modern connectivity in a small form factor.

Advantages

The H810M-X provides support for high-speed PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe storage for faster data transfers and an aluminum heatsink design to improve thermal management under load. An M.2 (Key E) slot enables optional Wi‑Fi modules, while onboard 2.5 Gb/s LAN boosts network throughput compared with standard gigabit Ethernet. Front USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C and multiple RGB headers (including addressable) simplify case connectivity and lighting customization. Three video outputs (HDMI, DisplayPort, D-Sub) are available when using a CPU with integrated graphics.

How to use

Install a compatible Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processor into the LGA1851 socket and populate DDR5 DIMMs in the two memory slots following the motherboard manual for proper channel configuration. Mount storage devices to M.2 and SATA connectors as needed; for maximum NVMe performance use the Hyper M.2 Gen4 x4 slot. Connect the front USB Type-C header to a compatible case front panel for reversible USB-C access. If wireless networking is required, install a Wi‑Fi module into the M.2 Key E slot (module not included). Install the provided Auto Driver Installer or download drivers from ASRock to ensure network and chipset drivers are present before completing the OS driver installation.

Recommendations

Use a CPU with integrated graphics to enable the onboard HDMI, DisplayPort and D-Sub outputs. For best storage throughput, pair an NVMe PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD with the Hyper M.2 slot; ensure adequate case airflow to maintain thermal stability for the M.2 and VRM heatsinks. Install the latest BIOS and drivers from the ASRock support page to maximize compatibility and performance.
