It is made in a compact micro-ATX format, is based on the entry-level Intel H610 chipset and is equipped with the latest Intel LGA 1700 processor socket for 2022. With an official price of around $80, the ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2 is perhaps the most the most affordable motherboard on the market, which is tailored for the new generation of Intel Alder Lake APUs.

The system is powered by a hybrid subsystem with 6 power phases. The board layout includes 2 slots for DDR4 3200 MHz memory with support for XMP profiles (maximum 64 GB). To install drives, there are four classic SATA3 connectors and one M.2 connector with support for the PCIe 4.0 protocol. There is only one video card slot. Simultaneous availability of all possible video outputs (VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort) indicates that this model is primarily designed for CPUs with an integrated video core. In general, the combination of low price, high-quality element base and current technical capabilities makes it the best option for office assemblies, work PCs and entry-level gaming systems that do not require feats in terms of overclocking and performance.
