Gigabyte has unveiled a new motherboard codenamed GA-H310MSTX-HD3. The novelty is made in a very compact form factor Mini-STX with dimensions of 140 Γ 147 mm. As you might guess, the new board is intended for assembling multimedia or work systems based on Intel Coffee Lake and Coffee Lake Refresh processors with the most modest dimensions.
The Gigabyte GA-H310MSTX-HD3 motherboard is based on the Intel H310 system logic and is designed to work with LGA 1151v2 processors with a TDP level of up to 65W. Next to the processor socket is a pair of slots for DDR4 SO-DIMM memory modules with support for up to 32 GB of memory at up to 2400 MHz.
Due to the compact dimensions of the PCI Express slot for a video card, there is no here - you will have to rely only on the integrated graphics of the central processor. However, there is still one expansion slot here - this is M.2 Key E for connecting a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless module. And for connecting storage devices, there are a pair of SATA III ports and one M.2 Key M slot with support for SATA and PCIe devices.
Network connections in the Gigabyte GA-H310MSTX-HD3 are handled by a gigabit controller from Intel (the model is not specified). The audio is processed by the entry-level Realtek ALC255 codec, which works only on two channels. The board has D-Sub, HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs, three USB 3.0 Type-A and one Type-C ports, a pair of 3,5 mm audio jacks, a network port and a 19 V power connector.
Unfortunately, the cost, as well as the start date of sales of the Gigabyte GA-H310MSTX-HD3 mini-STX motherboard, have not yet been specified.
