Will the ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2+ D5 boot out of the box with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D?

Yes. The ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2+ D5 natively supports the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D out of the box with factory firmware.

Can the VRM on ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2+ D5 handle AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D's peak power draw?

Under sustained multi-core heavy load (such as Blender, Cinebench, or unconstrained video rendering), the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D draws up to 125W. The ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2+ D5's VRM is rated for only 95W, which will cause MOSFET temperatures to exceed 105°C and induce thermal clock throttling of 25% to 40%.

What RAM memory type is required for AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2+ D5?

The ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2+ D5 is built exclusively with DDR5 memory slots supporting up to 96GB. You must purchase a DDR5 RAM kit.
