What does "H110S2" mean?
The label "H110S2" on your motherboard suggests a specific chipset configuration. The "H110" typically refers to the chipset, while "S2" might indicate a particular model or revision of that chipset. Based on your search, it seems to be associated with a Gigabyte STX board.
Gigabyte likely offers both retail and OEM models for the board. Many producers keep the details about specifications and labels hidden, making it unclear what each part represents. This seems to be a common situation, especially since the 'S' in the name isn't immediately obvious—perhaps it stands for something like STX?
It would be unusual for them to design their own motherboards; Dell, Asus and HP usually handle that. I think they're likely using an OEM model compared to the Gigabyte or Asus boards.
The motherboard size matches that of an STX model, suggesting it might be an STX unit.
It might relate to the board dimensions. You noticed Gigabyte S1 boards are Micro ATX, suggesting a standard size. S1 could be considered the base reference, while S2 might apply to ATX variants. The number of RAM channels could also play a role in compatibility.
