What we like about MSI H110M A Pro M2

  • Excellent value for budget-conscious builders
  • Features a dedicated M.2 slot for high-speed SSDs, rare for this chipset
  • Solid performance that rivals more expensive boards in some tasks
  • Includes EZ Debug LEDs for easier troubleshooting of CPU/RAM/VGA issues
  • Compact microATX form factor fits easily in most small cases
  • Reliable and durable build quality with overvoltage protection

What we don't like about MSI H110M A Pro M2

  • Lacks integrated VGA video output; only has HDMI and DVI
  • Limited expansion with only two DDR4 RAM slots (max 32GB)
  • No support for CPU or RAM overclocking due to the H110 chipset
  • Weak VRM design (3+1 power phases) without heatsinks, not ideal for high-end i7 CPUs
  • Requires a BIOS update to support 7th generation 'Kaby Lake' processors
  • No RAID support for storage drives

Verdict

The MSI H110M-A Pro M2 is a micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel H110 chipset, featuring an LGA 1151 socket that supports 6th and 7th Gen Intel Core, Pentium, and Celeron processors. It includes two DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 32GB of 2133MHz memory, one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, and two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots. Key storage options consist of four SATA 6Gb/s ports and a dedicated M.2 slot supporting both PCIe 2.0 x4 and SATA modes. Its main pros include high-quality Military Class 4 components for stability, Audio Boost technology for 7.1-channel HD sound, and the inclusion of a USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C port on the rear I/O. However, main cons include a lack of overclocking support, only two RAM slots limiting future expansion, and the deactivation of the fourth SATA port when an M.2 SATA module is in use.
