Gigabyte B460M Ds3H Motherboard

Gigabyte B460M DS3H Motherboard:

The Gigabyte B460M DS3H (rev. 1.0) Motherboard is a micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel® B460 Express Chipset. It’s designed to support 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors in the LGA1200 package. This motherboard provides a solid foundation for mainstream desktop PCs, offering a balance of performance, features, and Gigabyte’s renowned durability.

Key Features for Balanced Performance and Durability:

This motherboard features a 4+2 Hybrid Digital VRM with Low RDS(on) MOSFETs, which helps in efficient power delivery to the CPU, minimizing heat generation and enhancing system stability. It supports Dual Channel DDR4 RAM across four DIMM sockets, allowing for a substantial 128GB of system RAM. For Intel® Core™ i9/i7 processors, it supports RAM speeds up to 2933MHz, while for Intel® Core™ i5/i3/Pentium®/Celeron® processors, it supports up to 2666MHz. It also supports Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) RAM modules.

For storage, the B460M DS3H includes an Ultra-Fast NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 Connector, supporting 2242/2260/2280 type SATA and PCIe SSDs for quick boot times and application loading. Additionally, it provides six SATA 6Gb/s connectors with support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 configurations. The motherboard is also Intel® Optane™ Memory Ready, enabling acceleration of traditional hard drives.

Connectivity is handled by the Realtek® GbE LAN chip (1000 Mbit/100 Mbit), which is an exclusive gaming LAN with bandwidth management to prioritize network traffic. For integrated graphics output (when using compatible Intel® Core™ processors with integrated graphics), it offers D-Sub, DVI-D, and HDMI ports, supporting up to three displays simultaneously. Some versions of this motherboard, like the “AC” model, also include Intel® Dual Band 802.11ac WIFI & BT 4.2 for wireless connectivity.

The motherboard features Smart Fan 5, which includes multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP functionality. This allows for comprehensive control over cooling performance, enabling fans to stop completely when temperatures are low for a quieter system.

The B460M DS3H is built with Gigabyte’s “Ultra Durable” features, including Anti-Sulfur Resistors Design to protect against sulfur compounds in the air, and DualBIOS™ Design, which provides a backup BIOS for enhanced system stability and protection against BIOS corruption. It also incorporates high-quality audio capacitors and an audio noise guard for improved sound quality.
