ASUS H110M-A LGA 1151 Intel H110 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro-ATX DDR4 Motherboard

After few weeks of testing I can say it was a great buy. This ASUS motherboard is one the most basic Intel H110 m/b out there at an excellent price with excellent BIOS settings and features. It worked with no problem the first time I turned it on, with wireless mouse/keyboard and image through HDMI. It is really good for entry-level pc-gamer or general work, if you want more features go for a Z170 motherboard.PROS:- Great BIOS interface and settings.- Small size (I think this is one of the smallest micro-atx m/b)- Supports for USB 3.0, DDR4 and Intel LGA-1151CONS:- Poor accessory kit, it only has two sata cables.My Setup:- Intel Core i5 - 6500 Intel Boxed Core I5-6500 FC-LGA14C 3.20 Ghz 6 M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I56500- RAM DDR4 2133 Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4-2133 MT/s (PC4-17000) CL15 SR x8 Unbuffered DIMM Desktop Memory CT2K4G4DFS8213/CT2C4G4DFS8213- Old Samsung SSD Samsung 850 PRO 256GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE256BW)- 500 HDD

I picked up this motherboard for a very inexpensive build. My father asked for a new computer and it was my job to get the best parts with the cheapest cost and I decided on this Asus board. I decided to go with a Skylake Pentium and looked for a quality board that would fit the price point. I've had good luck with Asus boards in the past and this one was at the right price and had plenty of features. The board worked perfectly out of the box and only a bit of a hiccup with the installation. The I/O shield is practically garbage in my opinion. It snapped into my case fine but it took a good 10 or 15 minutes to get the board lined up with the shield and still have the standoff posts line up as well. I nearly put the build together without the shield until it all just fell in place. It might be a minor complaint but it was the most annoying part of the whole build.The board has ample connections including HDMI out (I'm surprised other boards in this price range don't have HDMI) but I was a bit disappointed that it only has ONE chassis fan connector. I get that it's a budget board and all but two chassis fan connectors would be nice. The front panel connector pins (power, reset, drive activity) are labeled poorly. I was able to make it out after some squinting and tiny bit of common-sense-guessing but there is very little room between the pins and the bottom of the board. This makes the labels super tiny and hard to read. I got it right on the first go but it would definitely be tough for a brand-new system builder. Other connector pins (USB, HD Audio) are much easier to read but the connectors are also easier to hook up. The LED light that runs along the audio shielding "channel" is a nice but totally unnecessary feature. It pulses a light yellow-gold color. The BIOS is perfectly fine and adequate. I spent next to no time using it because I had no need for any advanced settings on this build. I've used the same BIOS on other Asus boards and it's a very nice and easy-to-use experience.I'd recommend this board for somebody looking for a budget Skylake build. It gets the job done and has enough features and I/O to be relevant. I hate the I/O shield and the front panel pin labels are hard to read, but other than that it's a solid Intel board.

This works with G4600, I ordered Sept 17, 2017 and it had the latest Kaby lake BIOS, 3408Built a very nice Linux Mint desktop for my mom with the following specs, runs super fast on web browsing, key is it is ready for upgrades in a few years.Perfect upgradable Linux build.:: Intel Pentium G4600 3.6ghz:: SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB Solid State Drive:: Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2400:: Thermaltake Versa H15 SPCC Micro ATX Mini Tower:: EVGA 450 BT, 80+ Bronze 450W

I paired this with a Kaby Lake G4560. It shipped with a recent BIOS version so it was compatible out of the box with the processor. I am using it in an entry level gaming rig for a family member. I am impressed you can match a quality MB with a budget processor for around $120 and still have a decent entry level rig. I like ASUS and their BIOS is excellent.This MB only has one chassis fan connector. I ordered this splitter cable Cable Matters (2-Pack) PWM 2-Fan Splitter Cable - 4 Inches so I could connect the case rear fan and front fan to the single connector

Asrock is not the best known co. for their reliablility in their early years. i have owned a few, and always something. But this one has worked for 5 years without any issues. Xcept one issue that some have encoutered with this model is the memory slot next to the cpu can be a pain. Could be just the brand of memory. We have all had that problem. i have had problems with the 1st slot with the following brand so you can maybe avoid the issue: G.Skill Trident RGB 3000. i advise going to ASrocks site and getting a memory recomendation. Corsair has never let me down so far, and also PNY may be a nice choice. Reasearch my friend makes your build less annoying.

The official website for this is misleading. They say it has built in LAN which I assume means both Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Nope, I get it and install all drivers from disk and that included just Ethernet. I had to spend 40 extra dollars on a Wi-Fi card. I installed a Wi-Fi Lan driver from the website of the manufacturer for the Wi-Fi card and then I got Wi-Fi. Very misleading but other than that the MoBo performs great.UPDATE: IT IS VERY CHEAP, PINS BEND EASILY, MY HD AUDIO HAD ISSUES, TEMPORARILY DIED/IN AND OUT AFTER A YEAR, BOARD DIED TWICE, HAD TO REPLACE IT MULTIPLE TIMES. I GOT A DIFFERENT MOTHERBOARD AFTER A WHILE, GOT SICK OF THIS ONE DYING AND NOT BEING OF GOOD QUALITY... IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE CULPRIT ON WHY ONE OF MY NEWER HDD'S DIED. THIS BOARD HAS NO CARD READER PLUG IN.

Inexpensive and easy to install. But the motherboard stopped posting after 13 months.
