Name: Gigabyte H810M Gaming Wi-Fi6
Brand: Gigabyte
SKU: 5709

Manufacturer: Gigabyte

The Gigabyte H810M Gaming Wi-Fi6 is a Micro-ATX motherboard designed for the LGA 1851 platform, offering a compact form factor at 244 × 215 mm that suits space-conscious builds without sacrificing connectivity. It includes integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) alongside Bluetooth 5.3, RGB lighting, and an HDMI 2.1 output, making it a well-rounded option for a modern desktop system.

On the memory side, the board accommodates up to 128GB of DDR5 RAM across two slots at speeds reaching 6400 MHz in dual-channel configuration. Storage options include four SATA 3 connectors with full RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support, plus one M.2 socket and a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for a discrete graphics card. The rear I/O provides one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, five USB 2.0 ports, DisplayPort, HDMI, and a single RJ45 Ethernet jack, while the board delivers 7.1-channel audio through three audio connectors.

Pros

Supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with backward compatibility for Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, covering a wide range of wireless devices
DDR5 memory support with a maximum capacity of 128GB and speeds up to 6400 MHz in dual-channel configuration
Includes Bluetooth 5.3 for modern wireless peripheral connectivity
Full RAID support across RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations provides flexible storage redundancy and performance options
Three-year warranty offers a solid coverage period
RGB lighting is built in, allowing for visual customization

Cons

Only one M.2 socket limits high-speed NVMe storage expansion
No USB Type-C ports on the rear I/O restricts connectivity for newer devices
Just three fan headers may be insufficient for builds with more demanding cooling setups
No dual BIOS means there is no built-in fallback if a firmware update causes issues
Limited high-speed USB on the rear panel, with only one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port alongside five USB 2.0 ports

Who is this for?

This board is a practical fit for users building a compact desktop system on the LGA 1851 platform who want integrated wireless connectivity without relying on add-in cards — the built-in Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 cover modern wireless needs out of the box. With support for up to 128GB of DDR5 RAM and RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10, it also works well for home or small office setups that require reliable storage redundancy alongside capable memory headroom. The Micro-ATX form factor suits builders who need a reasonably space-efficient build without going fully mini-ITX.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who need high-speed USB connectivity on the rear I/O will find this board limiting, as it offers no USB Type-C, no USB 3.2 Gen 2, and only a single USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port alongside five USB 2.0 ports. It is also a poor match for enthusiasts who want to push system performance to its limits, since overclocking is not facilitated and there is no dual BIOS for safer firmware experimentation. Additionally, builds requiring multiple fast NVMe drives will be constrained by the single M.2 socket.

Final Verdict

The Gigabyte H810M Gaming Wi-Fi6 is a Micro-ATX motherboard that delivers a focused feature set for LGA 1851 platform builds where space efficiency and modern wireless connectivity are priorities. Its built-in Wi-Fi 6 with DDR5 memory support up to 128GB makes it a capable foundation for everyday desktop and light productivity workloads, and the broad RAID support adds practical value for users who want storage redundancy. That said, the limited rear USB selection and single M.2 socket mean it is better matched to straightforward builds than to setups with demanding peripheral or storage requirements. For users whose needs align with its capabilities, it represents a solid and well-rounded Micro-ATX option on the current Intel platform.
