H310cm-d supports Xeon processors.
No, the H310cm-dvs from ASRock does not support an Xeon E3-1230v5 processor.
No, Haswell Intel halted Xeon compatibility in consumer chipsets.
A motherboard with C236 chipset like the Asus P10S-E/4L but those motherboards are expensive. A brand new i3-12100 + B660 is cheaper and performs a lot better.
And if your scenario requires ECC support, a Ryzen 5 5500 with a B550 board that handles unbuffered ECC is comparable in cost and also delivers strong performance. This reflects the typical battery curve you're seeing—it varies from product to product. In this situation, having more motherboards fail before the CPU does is common; as CPU prices drop, more boards will fail, while the motherboard price tends to rise due to increased failures.
