Intel's 600 series motherboard inside the B660 is considered to be the mainstream model, but the current price of the B660 motherboard is not cheap, slightly better mATX are thousands of yuan, slightly cheaper also more than 700 yuan, but the 12th generation Core is Core i3 and Pentium, Celeron model, people who choose these processors basically do not use the expansion ability of B660, the price is cheaper, the expansion is enough H610 is actually more suitable.
Mingxuan's MS-Challenger H610M motherboard is a fairly cost-effective LGA 1700 motherboard, our 5000 yuan entry-level installation is used for it, the price of 569 yuan is quite cheap, but also equipped with 8+1+1 phase power supply, using DrMOS, at this price point with DrMOS is still very rare, expansion is basically enough, with Core i5-12100F or Pentium G7400, The Celeron G6900 processors can be used to form a fairly well-priced entry-level platform.
Mingxuan MS-Challenger H610M is a mATX motherboard, the size is 20.5 * 22.5, using Intel H610 chipset, this entry-level chipset and mainstream B660 still have a certain gap, there is no M.2 PCI-E x4 port directly connected to the CPU, PCH's PCI-E 4.0 is gone, but there are 8 PCI-E 3.0 is actually enough, USB interface can provide up to two USB 3.2 Gen 2 and 4 USB 3.2 Gen 1, the total number of USB interfaces is 10, SATA 6Gbps interface number of 4.
The motherboard features an LGA 1700 CPU interface that supports Intel 12th Generation Core processors, providing two DDR4 memory slots, one PCI-E x16 slot and one PCI-E x1 slot, three SATA 6Gbps connectors, and a set of front USB 3.1 Gen 1 expansion pins.
Memory slot is the traditional two-sided snap-in design, can support DDR4-3200 memory, up to support a single 32GB, the maximum capacity of 64GB, in addition, we can see that the NEXT DOOR CPU radiator opening is compatible with LGA 1700 and the traditional LGA 1200/115X hole spacing, that is to say, the old CPU heatsink can be directly installed on this motherboard, so that users can save a lot of trouble, but the old buckle has the problem of insufficient pressure, How much will affect the thermal efficiency, of course, non-K series processors are not very hot, the problem is not big.

This PCI-E x16 slot is provided by the CPU, support PCI-E 4.0 x16, basically can meet the bandwidth requirements of any graphics card, the M.2 interface on the motherboard is provided by PCH, support PCI-E 3.0 x4, can install the longest M.2 2280 specificationSD, the PCI-E 3.0 x1 interface is also provided by PCH, it has a simple DeBug LED next to it, with it the player can quickly find the startup error.
Two SATA 6Gbps connectors are located on the right side of the motherboard and one on the bottom of the motherboard
The backplane I/O area provides two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI, a DP and a VGA port, the network card is Gigabit, and the audio interface has three 3.5mm ports.

Mingxuan MS-Challenger H610M motherboard adopts 8+1+1 phase power supply design in which 8 phase CPU core power supply, 1 phase video memory power supply and 1 phase auxiliary power supply, of which cpu core and nuclear display power supply are all Visco SiC654, single maximum output current 50A, basically can meet the power supply needs of 12 generations of non-K processors, PWM controller is Richtek RT3628AE, just can control the CPU core and nuclear display power supply, CPU power supply port is an 8pin.
There is also a clear CMOS button hidden in the lower right corner of the motherboard
It can be seen that the expansion ability of Mingxuan MS- Challenger H610M is still enough to meet the basic needs of users, the price of 569 yuan is indeed cheap, with Core i5-12400F or Core i3-12100F, it can actually be a set of cost-effective game platforms.
