Addressable RGB Lighting on a Budget H610 Board

The ARGB designation brings addressable RGB lighting to an otherwise entry-level H610 board, so a budget Intel build can still carry a coordinated lighting theme through Aura Sync-compatible components.

1. Install a 12th, 13th or 14th Gen Intel processor in the LGA1700 socket.

2. Fit two DDR5 modules for dual-channel memory up to 96GB.

3. Use the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for a graphics card.

4. Install an NVMe SSD in the PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot and use the four SATA ports for additional storage.
