Product overview
ASUS Prime H310M-A R2.0/CSM arrived in late 2018 with Intel’s 300‑series H310 platform for Coffee Lake LGA1151 processors (8th/9th Gen). It targets the entry tier: a basic, reliable micro‑ATX board under ASUS’s CSM program for straightforward business and home PCs.
It provides two DDR4 DIMM slots (up to 32 GB), one PCIe 3.0 x16 for a single GPU plus two x1 slots, four SATA 6 Gb/s, and one M.2 2280 that takes NVMe or SATA drives. Connectivity is simple: HDMI/DVI/D‑Sub from compatible CPUs, Realtek Gigabit LAN, and USB 3.2 Gen 1. Good fit for first‑time builders refreshing or assembling 8th/9th‑Gen Intel desktops, office PCs, or light‑duty systems. Unique note: the M.2 socket runs at PCIe 2.0 x2 due to chipset limits.
