Asus Recycles H470 Chipsets For H510 Motherboards

It's a common practice amongst all the major mobo manufacturers. Even Gigabyte has done this before.

Asus Recycles H470 Chipsets For H510 Motherboards

Does that make it an H470 motherboard or an H510 motherboard?

This is not a bad thing for hackintoshers. What it means is that if you use a tenth gen CPU with UHD630 graphics these boards should function normally when using macOS 10.15, 11, 12 or 13 in your hack. 11th gen motherboards (500 series chipsets) with a 10th gen CPU prevent that from happening. No integrated graphics display output with that combo.

So this is a good option for a budget build. It's hard to find new H470 mATX motherboards anywhere. I've tried. Had to buy a refurb but it worked out ok. Got a Gigabyte Aorus Pro mATX board.

With an H510M-A board from Asus, you can use both the HDMI and DP outputs on the back panel when using a tenth gen UHD630 CPU.

If you dual boot with Windows you could even plug in an older VGA input monitor and use that.

The i5-10400 6 core CPU sells for a low $114 so pair that with an H510M-A and a low cost NVMe of 1TB or more. Ram (DDR4) has also gotten super cheap these days. If you have a case and PSU already, that's a brand new, Ventura compatible build, with plenty of ram and storage for not much over $330 !

To custom order an M2 Mac mini with a 1TB NVMe SSD and 24GB of ram, you're looking at $1400 ! Almost $1100 more. The integrated graphics in the Asus H510M hackintosh can be upgraded for $200 with an RX 6600. So a total of about $532 vs. $1399 or $867 less than a well specced Mac mini. Which would you pick ? If you edit video in FCP all day long, the Mac mini might be a better choice. If not, save the money and build one of these.

M2 Pro mini specced up to 1TB/32GB adds another $500 to the total. Why doesn't Apple know that the prices of Ram and SSD storage have dropped recently ????

The means for such a combination to work has been available since October 2022. I have an embedded video running on a 510 chipset board on an i3 10100 processor. Moreover, I have exactly the 510 chipset. And not just the name of the motherboard. Here it is - Asus H510M-R. You have to use EDID and Device Properties.

Good to know. Make a detailed post about how to do this. Many people could benefit.
That is a very low cost motherboard, good for ultra low budget builds (with no dGPU) for those in the UK.

The -R version isn't available in the USA. The -E is available and has a DP & HDMI output.
