ASUS PRIME H610M-K DDR5 LGA1700 Micro-ATX Motherboard
The ASUS PRIME H610M-K DDR5 is a micro-ATX motherboard built for home and small-form-factor PC builders who want a reliable foundation for 12th, 13th, or 14th Generation Intel processors without overengineering the budget. It pairs DDR5 memory support, PCIe 4.0, and a 32 Gbps M.2 slot with practical connectivity including Realtek Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, and USB 3.2 Gen 1. Hardware safeguards through ASUS 5X Protection III and onboard fan control via Fan Xpert 2+ make it a straightforward choice for everyday builds and light workstation use.
Why this product
DDR5 with XMP support
Two DIMM slots accept up to 96 GB of DDR5 memory at speeds up to 5600 MT/s, and Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) lets compatible kits run at their rated speeds without manual tuning.
PCIe 4.0 x16 and M.2 storage
The full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slot handles current discrete graphics cards, while the onboard M.2 slot supports PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe drives in 2242, 2260, and 2280 lengths alongside four SATA 6 Gb/s ports.
5X Protection III hardware safeguards
DIGI+ VRM, LANGuard, overvoltage protection, SafeSlot Core, and a stainless-steel back I/O panel provide layered hardware protection for the board and connected components.
Display output with 4K HDMI
An HDMI 2.1 port supports 4K at 60 Hz when using a processor with integrated graphics, alongside a VGA port for legacy displays.
7.1 surround audio on-board
A Realtek High Definition Audio CODEC delivers 7.1 surround sound with up to 24-bit/192 kHz playback, supported by audio shielding, premium capacitors, and dedicated audio PCB layers.
Compact micro-ATX footprint
At 9.2 × 8.0 inches (23.4 × 20.3 cm) the board fits standard micro-ATX cases, keeping builds compact without sacrificing the four SATA ports or rear USB connectivity.

- Form FactorMicro-ATX, 9.2 × 8.0 in (23.4 × 20.3 cm)
- SKUASU-3404
- EAN4711387336328
- Compatible with Intel 14th and 13th Generation Core processors in the LGA 1700 socket.
- Compatible with Intel 12th Generation Core, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors in the LGA 1700 socket.
- Accepts standard DDR5 Un-buffered Non-ECC DIMMs; does not support DDR4.
- Fits standard micro-ATX cases (9.2 × 8.0 in / 23.4 × 20.3 cm).
- The M.2 slot operates in PCIe 3.0 x4 mode only; PCIe 4.0 M.2 drives will work but are limited to PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth.
- Does not support AMD processors — the LGA 1700 socket is Intel-only.
Best for
- First-time or budget-conscious builders who want a stable Intel platform with DDR5 memory and modern connectivity without paying for features like Wi-Fi or overclocking headroom they may not need.
- Small-form-factor desktop builds where a micro-ATX board keeps the system compact while still providing four SATA ports, an M.2 slot, and a full PCIe 4.0 x16 graphics slot.
- Office and productivity workstations that rely on integrated graphics: HDMI 2.1 with 4K at 60 Hz support and a VGA port cover most monitor setups without a discrete GPU.
- Builders who need legacy or industrial headers, as the board includes a COM header and an RGB header for basic lighting alongside standard fan and power connectors.
Trade-offs
- Overclockers: the Intel H610 chipset does not support CPU overclocking; that requires a Z-series chipset.
- Wireless networking: there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on this board; only a wired 1 Gb Ethernet port is provided.
- Heavy multi-GPU or multi-PCIe workloads: only one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot are available, with no additional x16 or x4 slots.
- ECC or Registered memory users: the board supports only Un-buffered Non-ECC DDR5, so workstation or server memory configurations are not supported.
- Full-ATX case owners: at micro-ATX dimensions the board may not fill all mounting points or cover all drive bays in larger ATX enclosures.
