Motherboard ASRock H810M-X WiFi — Intel H810, LGA 1851, microATX, DDR5, 2 DIMM, 128GB, Wi-Fi 5, 2.5Gb LAN, M.2, SATA III

The ASRock H810M-X WiFi (X Series) motherboard is a micro ATX board for Intel LGA 1851 processors (Intel Core Ultra Series 2). It supports DDR5 memory in two DIMM slots up to 128 GB, offers a Hyper M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 slot for high-speed NVMe storage, four SATA III ports, onboard 2.5 Gb/s Realtek LAN and Dual Band 802.11ac Wi‑Fi with Bluetooth. The board includes multiple display outputs (HDMI, DisplayPort, D-Sub), front USB 3.2 Gen1 Type‑C header and onboard RGB headers compatible with Polychrome RGB and SignalRGB control.

Advantages

This micro ATX motherboard combines a compact form factor with features focused on performance and connectivity: PCIe 4.0 M.2 support for faster storage, an aluminum heatsink for improved thermal management, a 2.5 Gb/s LAN and Dual Band Wi‑Fi for faster networking, and front USB Type‑C for convenient high-speed front-panel connections. Onboard RGB headers and SignalRGB support enable synchronized lighting control across compatible devices.

How to use

Install a compatible LGA 1851 CPU and DDR5 memory modules into the two DIMM slots, mount the board into a micro ATX case, and connect storage devices to the M.2 slot or SATA III ports. Use the front USB Type‑C header to add a case front-panel Type‑C connector. Attach antennas for Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth if provided. To use integrated graphics outputs, install a processor with an integrated GPU and connect displays to HDMI, DisplayPort or D‑Sub. Follow standard ESD precautions during assembly.

Recommendations

Ensure the M.2 NVMe SSD is compatible with PCIe Gen4 x4 to achieve maximum transfer speeds. Verify CPU compatibility on the ASRock motherboard support page before purchase. For improved thermal performance under sustained loads, pair the board with an adequate chassis airflow and the provided aluminum heatsinks. When synchronizing RGB devices, check power limits for connected LED strips (addressable header: WS2812B, 5V, max 3A, up to 80 LEDs; RGB header: 12V, max 3A).
