[SOLVED] H310 chipset bus speed

[technicaltutorials84]

Hello
Intel 8th gen CPUs bus speed is 8gt/dmi3. I want to purchase g5400. What happened if I choose h310 chipset because it's bus speed 5gt/dmi2

If you look at the generic block diagram for the 300 series chips -- https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...sors-and-chipsets/coffee-lake-s/overview.html what is being talked about is the bus from the CPU to the "chipset". Having this slower means there are fewer things that can be connected. So the H310 has fewer USB ports. Fewer SATA ports etc. Scroll down on the link above and you will see a comparison table.

Thanks for reply

I don't need more usb and sata ports.

I only want to understand that with this motherboard my cpu, hard drive or ram speed (Performance) will be less or not. I mean can i have to compromise with any component's speed.

No. A SATA drive will still perform that same. An M.2 SSD might not have the same performance or an M.2 slot may not even be available since there are only 6 PCIe lanes. The graphics card is connected to the CPU not the chipset, same with RAM.
