Motherboards running an H470 or Z490 chipset may need a BIOS update in order to boot with a Rocket Lake processor, Intel added. The chipmaker didn't explicitly say why H410 and B460 chipsets ...

It explains that the H410 and B460 chipsets are based on a different, older 22nm process node and a BIOS update isn't enough to add support for the new RKL-S processors.

Intel fell short of detailing the specifics of which boards will gain the ability to overclock, but we would assume that means the 500-series equivalent to Intel's existing B460 chipset.

First the good news: Intel motherboard partners are releasing new BIOS files for their Intel Z490 and H470 chipset-based motherboards to prevent any non-booting issues with the new processors.

Intel just posted a support note indicating that only Z490 and H470 will offer Rocke-Lake Support. We think it has to do with the power distribution of the lower specced chipset motherboards.

As if there are not enough PC hardware shortages already, word on the web is that Intel's B460 and H410 chipsets are in short supply, which could cause an uptick in motherboard pricing next month.

Yesterday, we reported that Intel has effectively blocked customers who bought H410- and B460-based motherboards from upgrading to its upcoming 11 th generation Rocket Lake-S processors.

But if you're interested in one of Intel's Comet Lake chips then you are going to have to look at one of the new Intel 400-series chipset boards, Gigabyte or otherwise, as it's reportedly changing ...

“The Iris Xe discrete add-in card will be paired with 9th-gen (Coffee Lake-S) and 10th gen (Comet Lake-S) Intel Core desktop processors and Intel B460, H410, B365, and H310C chipset-based ...

You will already have a grasp of the bad news from our headline, and it is simply that "Motherboards based on Intel B460 or H410 chipsets are not compatible with upcoming 11th Gen Intel Core ...
