  • CPU TypeIntel Core 9th Gen (LGA 1151)
  • Supports 9th and 8th Gen Intel Core processors on LGA1151 socket
  • Dual-channel DDR4 architecture with four speeds up to 2666 MHz for responsive multitasking
  • Realtek ALC887 codec delivers 7.1-channel high-definition audio with quality capacitors
  • GIGABYTE 8118 Gaming LAN includes bandwidth management for prioritised gaming traffic
  • Smart Fan 5 uses multiple sensors and hybrid headers with Fan Stop for quiet cooling

GIGABYTE H310M S2 Intel motherboard

The board is built around the Intel H310 Express Chipset and fits the LGA 1151 socket. It accepts 9th and 8th Generation Intel Core, Pentium and Celeron processors. Two DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 32 GB of dual-channel memory at 2666, 2400 or 2133 MHz. Integrated graphics provide a D-Sub output at 1920x1200@60 Hz.

Suits entry-level desktop builds

Builders who need more than two memory slots, additional display outputs or onboard Wi-Fi should look elsewhere. The single D-Sub port limits multi-monitor setups. The 32 GB memory ceiling restricts workloads that require larger capacity. No M.2 slot is mentioned for fast storage expansion.

Dual-channel DDR4 up to 32 GB

The two DIMM sockets deliver dual-channel bandwidth with a maximum of 32 GB. Populating both slots with matched modules gives the best throughput for the platform. Memory speed depends on the installed processor generation. This limit decides whether the board fits the intended workload.
