H310

H310 is a chipset developed by Intel, primarily designed for entry-level to mid-range desktop computers. It belongs to the Intel 300 series chipset family, which launched alongside Intel's 8th and 9th generation Core processors. The H310 chipset supports LGA 1151 socket processors, allowing compatibility with a wide range of CPUs from Intel's Core i3, i5, i7, and i9 lineups, as well as Pentium and Celeron processors within those generations.

Key features of the H310 chipset include support for DDR4 memory, typically up to 2666 MHz depending on the processor. It provides a standard set of I/O ports, including USB 3.1 Gen 1 and SATA 6Gb/s interfaces, for storage and peripheral connectivity. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 610 or 630, depending on the specific CPU, offers basic display capabilities for everyday tasks and multimedia consumption.

H310 motherboards are generally considered budget-friendly options, making them suitable for general computing, office work, and light gaming. They typically offer fewer expansion slots and advanced features compared to higher-end chipsets like Z370 or Z390, focusing on core functionality and cost-effectiveness. This makes the H310 chipset a popular choice for users seeking an affordable yet functional desktop build.
