ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2+ D5 LGA 1700 Micro ATX DDR5 Intel H610 SATA 6Gb/s Micro

I have used Asrock motherboards for years. They are the budget brand and I have had good luck with them over the years. Always look at reviews because some models are not as reliable. I paired this board with the i3 13100T and ddr5 5600mhz ram for a slim office pc. Everything powered up and we were off to the races.

Lasted no longer than a month then started freezing up my rig intermittently and then just flat out stopped working. Fans lights but nothing else. No post no beep. And finally it stopped working completely. I checked if it was grounded properly it was I checked for bent pins there was none I checked if it supported my cpu it does and I updated the bios to ensure it did I checked my gpu and even tried through all the onboard gpu ports and my gpu I checked my ram drives cpu power supply the whole shibang. I even tried all the parts in a different rig they all worked. The board just quit. it also didn’t like memory running higher than at 2133mhz so forget xmpThe bios was sorely lacking features. Very barebones.More of a nitpick but the pcie slots are right next to each other and there’s only two and there’s no u.2 slot so if you want WiFi and you have a gpu or other AIC that’s larger than a true 1 slot card you can forget about wifi connectivity. And another nitpick but probably significant to some people these days it has gigabit LAN not 2.5 LANAlso no usb c ANYWHEREit feels cheap and flimsyHas only two DIMM slots not fourdefinitely not worth $99More like maybe $60 at bestIt’s very no frills and basic. No WiFi connection. No 2.5 gigabit Ethernet crappy ram support cheap feel very few fan headersNo usb c ANYWHEREKinda slow too at least for meSays it supports i9 14th gen but I never got it to work with mine even with bios updates and a pretty decent AIO which keeps it cool in my other rig.Not worth the hassle of trying to return.It went straight in the trash!

Will not allow 12600kf to run more than 65w. Useless e waste

When I paired one of these with a 12100T processor everything seemed fine, Operating system loaded, worked for different Video cards, and USB ports were working as did motherboard video. The problem came when I attempted to setup audio. No amount of driver updates, or USB to Front buss or back audio jacks were working, which leads me to believe the audio chip on the board was failed. Some SUPER scratchy sound came out using external amplified speakers, but not good at all. Headsets also didn't work in the audio jacks on the back or front.
