Every time the old and new memory standards alternate, there are always some motherboards that support both specifications. However, although DDR5 memory is now popular, the price is always ridiculously high, so DDR4 has become the new favorite. to this end,ASRock has released another "hybrid" motherboard that supports both DDR4/DDR5 memory, model "H610M COMBO II", supporting 12/13/14 generation Core.
Compared with the previously released H610 COBO, the board type is mATX, but the memory slots are reduced by half, from four DDR5 and two DDR4 to only two DDR5 and one DDR4.
This is a little embarrassing, becauseIf you use DDR4 memory, it can only be single channel.
but,The power supply circuit has been greatly enhanced from 3+1 phases to 6+1+1 phases, and the PCIe x16 graphics card slot has also been upgraded from PCIe 4.0 to PCIe 5.0.
The other two PCIe 3.0 x16 and one PCI have disappeared, leaving only one PCIe 3.0 x1. The video output interface has also removed DVI and eDP, leaving only HDMI, DP, and VGA.
I have to say,ASRock is really retro, PCI, DVI, VGA and other ancient specifications are still there.
In other aspects, there are Realtek ALC897 7.1 sound card, Realtek 8111H Gigabit network card, one M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4, four SATA 6Gbps, two rear USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 interfaces.
