ASRock's Vietnamese website has added an intriguing new microATX motherboard to its portfolio of Intel H610 chipset products. Uniko's Hardware stumbled upon this low-key addition earlier today—their social media post expressed excitement about the young SKU's unique RAM setup. They proclaimed: "a new LGA 1700 H610M motherboard that supports DDR4 and DDR5—but not at the same time! Six DIMM slots on this mobo = two for DDR4, and the other four support DDR5, both in dual channel mode...ASRock saving our ass!" In-depth investigations reveal that the H610M COMBO's first BIOS release is tagged with a June 2025 publication date.

This basic board design's hybrid slot system—targeting office and industrial applications—offers refreshing flexibility. Over the past couple of weeks, computer memory prices have escalated. In particular, mainstream DDR5 product costs of ownership have hit unreasonable heights. Fortunately, the H610M COMBO can accept cheaper DDR4 sticks. Uniko's Hardware recalls that an obscure ONDA H610M+ board offered a similar system three years ago, albeit restricted to one slot per DDRx type (single channel). It is encouraging to see a mainstream manufacturer release a more capable "combo" design, but the new model's specifications and feature set outline entry-level operations—no pricing information or retail availability has emerged online. Hardcore gamers and overclockers will likely sniff at the H610M COMBO SKU's basic capabilities.
