Key Features

It supports 12th, 13th, and 14th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron CPUs, powered by the Intel H610 chipset for reliable everyday performance without overclocking capabilities. The board features a 4+1+1 hybrid digital VRM design for stable power delivery, anti-sulfur resistors to enhance longevity in harsh environments, and Smart Fan 6 technology with multiple sensors, hybrid fan headers, and fan stop for quiet, efficient cooling. Additional perks include GIGABYTE APP Center for easy system management, Q-Flash for BIOS updates without a CPU, and RGB LED strip support for basic customization.

Memory and Storage

Dual-channel DDR5 memory is supported via 2 DIMM slots, with up to 96GB capacity (48GB per module) at speeds up to 5600 MT/s for high-end 13th/14th Gen i9/i7 CPUs or 4800 MT/s for others; it also handles ECC and XMP profiles in non-ECC mode. Storage options include 1x PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 NVMe slot (2280/2260 sizes) for fast SSDs and 4x SATA 6Gb/s ports for traditional drives.

Connectivity

Rear I/O covers essentials like 1x PS/2 combo port, 1x VGA (D-Sub up to 1920x1200@60Hz), 1x HDMI 2.1 (up to 4096x2160@60Hz with HDCP 2.3), 2x USB 3.2 Gen1, 4x USB 2.0, Realtek 1GbE LAN with bandwidth management, and 3x audio jacks via Realtek HD codec with noise guard. Internal headers provide 1x USB 3.2 Gen1 (2 ports), 2x USB 2.0 (4 ports), front audio, TPM 2.0, serial port, chassis intrusion, and more.

Expansion and Build Quality

Expansion is basic: 1x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (CPU-driven) for GPUs and 1x PCIe 3.0 x1 (chipset) for other cards. The Micro ATX form factor (22.6 x 18.4 cm) fits most compact cases, with a 24-pin ATX + 8-pin CPU power setup, CPU/system fan headers, and hardware monitoring for voltage, temp, and fan speeds. It supports Windows 10/11 64-bit, includes bundled Norton security and LAN software, and uses AMI UEFI BIOS with PnP/ACPI/SMBIOS standards.

This board suits cost-conscious users in Cairo building office PCs, HTPCs, or light gaming rigs, prioritizing stability and modern DDR5 over premium features like Wi-Fi or extra M.2 slots.
