MSIPRO H610M-E DDR4 Motherboard, Micro-ATX - Supports Intel 12th Gen Core Processors, LGA 1700 - 2 x DIMMs (3200MHz), 1x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, 1 x M.2 Gen3, USB 3.2 Gen1, 1G LAN, HDMI 1.4 & VGA

Bought this Pro H610M-E motherboard to upgrade an old i5-9400 office tower PC. Other new parts include i5-12400f cpu with stock cooler, 2x16GB of Corsair Vengence LPX XMP2 DDR3200 RAM, and a Corsair CX650 psu. I already own a MSI RTX 4060 Ventus 2x 8GB gpu.Only two issues I encountered. First was trying to fit the stock Intel cooler. The push-pins just didn't seem to want to lock securely to the MSI motherboard. The cooler felt loose and I was able to pull it off the motherboard. Eventually, I installed it successfully. I never had any problems with earlier design of Intel coolers with other motherboards. I don't know if this is a cooler issue or the MSI board.The second issue is the rear case was running too fast & noisy around 2500 rpm at idle in both PWM and DC mode. I eventually discovered how to create your own 4 point fan profile, and the fan speed at idle is now more sensible. The previous 2018 Asus motherboard offered simple fan profiles for Silent, Standard and Performance. I don't know why MSI didn't include this simple option given this particular low budget motherboard is probably aimed at 'office' use.Otherwise, no issues with the motherboard running games since it was installed 4 days ago.

I like the quality, looks, Port capacity,and value for money

For the price I really can't complain about the features or things included in this board.I purchased it to make my nephew his first computer and combined it with other components also bought on amazon.As a budget board it has all the usual i/o headers you would expect at this price point as well as room to fit a gpu, an nvme drive and a wireless/Bluetooth card.The bios is well laid out and it is easy to enable the xmp for your ram as well as change other settings to tinker with your build.I would recommend this as a purchase if you want to build a lower budget desktop.

It comes with a quick install manual, however the m2 slot is weird and has my m2 at a 20 degree angle and it was a dog to install the m2 drive with the screw provided but that was mainly my fault for not installing the m2 ssd until the end of the build. I replaced the cpu spring system with the cpu frame because Intels 13th gen socket systems suck badly so I got myself a thermalite frame for the cpu and never looked back. It didn’t have aRGB for my fans so I used a fan controller to do it, but I like Msi and the Msi AI software for monitoring the system and setting the performance and the bios is neat and has overclocking features.

So simple to install , got as a package with the i5 12400f and they work so well together . I put on 32gb ddr4 3200 memory and can play games like Mirage , Breakpoint all at 1080p around 40 fps smooth . Highly recommended to low cost pc builders an excellent buy

Is not starting with rtx cards looks like the VGA socket is not stiff to hold the card in definitely factory issue working with standard cheap card only.

I was so happy with the first one I bought a second one. If you want a basic, low cost, LGA1700 you cant complain. I matched this with a i5 12400 and a RTX4060 for a low power consumption gaming PC and am delighted. This board has 2 aRGB ports so blinged my PC with lights too.

The media could not be loaded. This board is more then enough if your looking do build a modern mid range gaming pc it has easy configuration and it's size will fit a smaller case it is also durable so don't worry if you have a larger cooler all and all recommend
