MSI PRO H610M-S Intel H610 Micro-ATX Motherboard — LGA1700 | DDR5 | PCIe 4.0 | COM Port | Compact 200mm | Business PRO Series

The MSI PRO H610M-S is built for IT administrators, corporate system integrators, and office PC builders deploying Intel 12th, 13th, or 14th Gen Core, Pentium Gold, or Celeron processors in managed office environments where the ultra-compact 200×236.16mm board footprint enables slim or compact chassis deployment, a COM port header supports legacy serial peripheral connectivity, and H610 DDR5 stability is required at a business-friendly price.

The PRO H610M-S features a PCIe 4.0 x16 CPU-direct slot for discrete GPU support and one PCIe 3.0 x1 chipset slot for expansion. One M.2 Key-M slot (M2_1, chipset) supports PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA 6Gb/s up to 2280/2260/2242 for primary NVMe or SATA M.2 SSD storage, alongside 2 SATA 6Gb/s ports for additional storage — note that SATA7 is unavailable when a SATA M.2 SSD is installed in M2_1. DDR5 memory across 2 DIMM slots with single-sided latches supports up to 128GB at DDR5-5600 MT/s (JEDEC 1R POR) with Intel XMP 3.0 and Dual-Controller Dual-Channel mode. HDMI 1.4 provides single display output up to 4K@30Hz with HDR via integrated graphics. Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit LAN provides reliable wired networking. Realtek ALC897 delivers 7.1-channel HD audio. USB 5Gbps Type-A is available on both rear (2 ports) and front (2 ports) headers. USB 2.0 is available on both rear (4 ports) and front (4 ports). An internal COM port header (JCOM) provides RS-232 serial connectivity for barcode scanners, receipt printers, and industrial business peripherals. TPM 2.0 header supports enterprise security requirements. 4× EZ Debug LEDs provide CPU, DRAM, VGA, and BOOT POST fault diagnosis. The ultra-compact 200×236.16mm PCB enables deployment in slim and compact cases.

System Requirements: LGA1700 CPU (Intel Core 12th/13th/14th Gen, Pentium Gold, or Celeron); DDR5 memory required; Intel H610 does not support CPU overclocking; HDMI 1.4 single display output requires integrated graphics-capable CPU — disabled on F-SKU processors; only 2 SATA ports — verify storage requirements before purchase; ultra-compact 200×236.16mm PCB — verify case supports this size before purchase; BIOS update may be required for 13th/14th Gen support

Setup: Standard Micro-ATX installation; XMP 3.0 activation in BIOS for rated DDR5 speed; COM port header requires optional serial bracket (not included) for rear panel access; TPM module for enterprise security

Mounting Options: Ultra-compact Micro-ATX (200 × 236.16mm); compatible with Micro-ATX and ATX cases; verify minimum board size support

Usage Environment: Ideal for compact corporate office workstations, slim-case business deployments, retail and POS systems, and any Intel 12th/13th/14th Gen LGA1700 H610 DDR5 build requiring a COM port and compact form factor
