The obligation to upgrade to a new motherboard has never appealed to users, who at best at Intel enjoy two generations of unaltered CPUs.
Although on several occasions we have seen how even maintaining the same socket Intel urged the change of boards, "forcing" manufacturers not to support BIOS while the company did not provide its microcode either, one of them has said enough and reveals against the blue giant.
Colorful H310M-E V20: the revolution demanded by users
Yes, it is true, it is not a high-end motherboard but an entry one, with its own chipset, with basic characteristics that focus it on the entry market. But far from this so obvious, Colorful has left Intel in total and absolute evidence despite its logical recommendations.
And it is that this model although it only lists in its specifications support for Coffee Lake and Coffee Lake Refresh processors (like all LGA1151 V2 plates), surprisingly, some captures have revealed that this model, so unpretentious in appearance, leaves the floor to the big Most current models, if not all.
And it has been seen how through CPU-Z this H310M-E V20 is capable of supporting Kaby Lake and Skylake processors (which is not logically specified).
This leaves assemblers a more than considerable option given its price and its great potential, with a chipset that is already more than amortized and with a single model to support, as they say, for them it is a «win-win ».
Basic, but sufficient for any stock processor
As we have commented, this board does not stand out for its benefits, options or expansions, but it is enough to meet even an i9-9900K. It has two slots with support for DDR4-2666 MHz, it does not have NVMe M.2 but it does have a PCIe 2.0 X1 to install, for example, a dedicated sound card.
In addition, it includes a PCIe 3.0 X16 for our high-end GPU, four SATA III, Gigabit Ethernet thanks to a Realtek RTL8111H chip, Realtek ALC662 sound card, two PS2 ports for keyboard and mouse, one HDMI, one VGA, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0.
As we see, they are characteristics of the entry-level motherboard, but it adopts a curious symbiosis that is difficult for us to explain in terms of the generations of CPUs it supports, since according to Intel, the pinout is different in terms of power delivery and voltages.
