This motherboard is a very good starting motherboard, and is really easy to build off of. I personally do not have many bad things to say about this motherboard, it has good aesthetic, and is a really good motherboard for the price it is listed at ($109.99) on Newegg.

Some of the specs include: AM4 Socket

4 RAM Slots

6 SATA Connectors 

LAN: 10/100/1000 MBPS

List of all specs here

Everything about the motherboard aesthetically works just fine, the RGB looks nice, the motherboard itself looks clean, really nothing to complain about there. 

One thing I will say about the motherboard, it is pretty old, so newer CPU’s will not be compatible with it. If you are looking for a computer to play games on, I would go with a newer motherboard. However, if you are looking for a motherboard to start out at, this one works great!

This motherboard is nearly perfect if you’re looking for a top-tier gaming spec motherboard. Boasting a maximum of 256GB of quad-channel memory, easily handling AMD’s Ryzen threadripper series. While only being an easy $500 USD, you definitely get the “bang for your buck” with this motherboard.

ASRock is a reasonably experienced company, producing various computer parts, ranging from motherboards to wifi antennas. Based in Taipei, Taiwan, they have various other branches in the Netherlands and the United States.

Accepted memory ranges anywhere from DDR4 3200 (non overclocked) to DDR4 4666 (overclocked). This motherboard specifically is built for overclocking. Along with multiple fans, and plenty of room for a custom watercooling loop.

” No compromise board for anyone using an AIO cooler. Only reason to pay more is if you are doing a custom cooling loop needing water channels in the motherboard.”

-Paul M.

The Gigabyte H310M S2H is a good motherboard. It depends on what you are looking to use it for though. You are not going to want to use this as a gaming PC. It might not be the best choice for a gaming PC. However it would make a great motherboard for your computer at home if that’s not what you are looking for. This is a high quality motherboard made by Gigabyte and they have a 3 year warrantee. This Gigabyte motherboard is an intel motherboard, it will only except intel CPU’s.

This motherboards CPU socket is an LGA 1151. Meaning it will only except some CPU’s not just any.

This motherboard contains 32GB of maximum memory. This motherboards memory slots hold DDR4 and there are 2 slots.  For the storage, there is both M.2 and SATA connectors.

It has integrated graphics audio and LAN.  There are 10 USB, 6 on the back panel and  4 are on the internal USB header.

There are also a few expansion slots. Only 1 PCIe x16 and 2 PCIe x1. This is one of the reasons it would not make a good gaming PC.

I would review this motherboard as a 5 star motherboard. On newegg.com this motherboards reviews are very good. The motherboard was able to fulfill what I needed with no problems at all . I used this motherboard for at home purposes, such as google, shopping, and maybe some work I needed to do at home.
