Gigabytes H470M DS3H, Intel H470 motherboard - socket 1200 [H470M DS3H]

Since the "Comet Lake-S" processors require a new socket due to the optimized power supply, the Intel series LGA1200 is used on the 400 series mainboards. Despite the increased number of pins, the actual size of the socket remains the same with older sockets, so that CPU coolers for socket LGA 115x can also be mounted on the mainboard.

The features of the Gigabyte H470 DS3H motherboard at a glance:

2x PCIe (3.0) x16 (x16, x4) and 2x PCIe 3.0 x1
A total of 6x USB 3.0 (1x Type C) and 6x USB 2.0 (internal & external)
2x M.2 (1x PCIe 3.0 x4 / SATA, 1x PCIe 3.0 x4) / 6x SATA 6G
Supports max. 128 GB DDR4 RAM up to 2933 MHz
Integrated RGB LED lighting

The Gigabyte H470 DS3H in detail
The Gigabyte H470 DS3H motherboard in micro ATX form factor offers two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots for plug-in and expansion cards. The first x16 slot is connected with a full 16 lanes, the second with four lanes. Two additional x1 slots are available for additional PCIe cards.

Up to 128 GB DDR4 RAM in dual-channel mode can be used in the four DIMM slots. The H470 chipset supports clock rates up to 2933 MHz, depending on the Comet Lake CPU installed. Two M.2 slots for PCIe / SATA M.2 SSDs and six SATA 6G connectors enable storage drives to be connected. The M.2 slots are connected to the chipset with four PCIe lanes and support the NVMe protocol, which enables data transfer rates of just under 4 GB / s. This means M.2 PCIe SSDs are up to eight times faster than SATA 6G SSDs!

The Gigabyte H470 DS3H has a USB 3.0 port with a Type-C socket on the I / O panel. These are particularly thin and can be inserted on both sides. USB 3.0 or USB 3.2 Gen 1 reaches maximum speeds of 5 Gbit / s per port. In addition to the three additional USB 3.0 ports of type A, two additional USB 2.0 ports as well as a display port, a D-sub, a DVI-D and an HDMI port can be found on the I / O panel . Internally, the mainboard provides a large selection of connections and headers.

Compatible only with 10th generation Intel CPUs!
