Intel has confirmed that the entry-level H410 and B460 motherboards won't support 11th Gen Intel Core processors. The remaining Intel 400-series motherboards will support these processors when using an updated BIOS.

This information came from Intel itself, on a support page to help people that may not be able to boot the system when using a Z490 or H470 motherboard paired with an upcoming 11th Gen Core processor. On this page, there's a note stating that “motherboards based on Intel B460 or H410 chipsets are not compatible with upcoming 11th Gen Intel Core processors.”

In the case of Intel Z490 and H470 chipset-based motherboard, a BIOS update will be required to support 11th Gen CPUs.

Intel 11th Gen Core processors are expected to launch next month, right after Intel Z590 motherboards.

KitGuru says: Do you own an H410 or B460 chipset-based motherboard? Were you hoping to upgrade your CPU to one of the upcoming Intel Rocket Lake-S processors?

MSI is introducing a new feature accessible through the BIOS of most of its B460 and H410 motherboards. The new feature, called CPU Cooler Tuning, allows you to select your type of cooling to unlock “the full potential of the processors”, increasing the power and current limits.

By selecting one of the three types of cooler – boxed, tower air, or water – you can increase the power limit 1 and 2, and current limit, improving the performance of your processor. Taking an Intel Core i5-10600 as an example, the current limit of this processor is set at 140A, while the PL1 and PL2 are 65W and 134W, respectively. These are the recommended power settings if you're using Intel stock cooler, but with a better cooling solution, you can maximise performance by increasing the power and current limits.

By choosing either Tower Air Cooler or Water Cooler, you can increase the PL1 and PL2 up to 255W, and the current limit up to 210A, depending on your motherboard. The following table details the expected all-core clock frequencies of the Core i9-10900, Core i7-10700, and Core i5-10600 on compatible motherboards.

As aftermarket coolers have started to become a standard in PC building due to their “better noise and cooling performance”, MSI CPU Cooler Tuning feature aims to get the most benefit of your investment.

KitGuru says: Do you own any of the compatible H410 and B460 motherboards? What type of CPU cooler do you own? Will you try MSI's CPU Cooler Tuning?

Galax, the company that is best known for its range of PC graphics cards has announced a new range of Intel LGA1200 and AMD AM4 motherboards this week, with the whole line up having an entry-level look to them.

The new series of Intel LGA1200 and AMD AM4 motherboards announced by Galax this week all seem to be entry-level models. They all feature a very similar appearance with no sign of any passive or active VRM cooling, so expect these motherboards to be aimed at the lower end of the market for those users who want cheap and cheerful without the need for advanced overclocking features.

New Galax Intel LGA 1200 motherboards are based on entry-level mainstream chipsets, consisting of models using the H410 and B460 platforms. There are at least two H410 motherboards in the new Galaxy LGA1200 line-up, both sporting a micro-ATX form factor as well as a B460 micro-ATX board too. All three boards are equipped with a single PCIe x16 slot and just two DIMM slots.

The company has also added to its AM4 motherboard range too, with a new board based on the recently released AMD AM4 B550 platform. Galax already has other AM4 motherboards based on the AMD X570 and B450 platform, but this is the first to be utilising B550, and just like the new Intel LGA1200 boards, the B550M is also micro-ATX form factor.

Although Galax has not officially announced the cost of these motherboards, we expect them to come with an affordable price tag, possibly under £100 if they reach the UK market. According to Galax, the motherboards are launching for the North American market initially, whether the boards will make their way across the pond remains to be seen.
