Background: I recently purchased two rigs-worth of components, and I went with the Asus H110M-D (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H110M-D/) for both PCs, the other option being the H110-K model (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H110M-K/).

I don't seem to find much info endorsing them in forums, though. PCPartPicker doesn't even have prices for the D model.

I understand the chipset isn't a popular one, but in terms of price to performance, how does it actually stack against other chipsets, and should I be looking to upgrade (eventually), where do I look to? General advice I've gotten is the H170 or even a B150 would have been better options if I don't intend on OC, but here in Malaysia the price gap is as such:

My Asus H110M-D = RM329, approximately $82

Cheapest available Asus B150 = RM446, around $111
Cheapest available Asus H170 = RM535, around $134
(There's also Gigabyte and Asrock, though)

So in part there were *some* budget constraints at the point of purchase, and yes the prices are much higher over here.

This is my final personal build if anyone's interested: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Arcanyx/saved/wmjYcf

Thoughts?

The H110 is the cheapest budget line and does not offer many features. If you already have the H110, I probably would not bother "upgrading" to a B150 or H170, or even the Z170. I would spend the extra money to get the better motherboard NEXT time you build.

Thanks for the advice. Perhaps I wouldn't be building a new rig anytime soon, but in the event I do (or just to have a better idea of the potential choices), any suggestions on a brand and/or model you would have recommended for a non-SLI/Crossfire config? I'm neutral on M.2 and overclocking; perhaps they would have been nice to have, perhaps not.




Nice link, thanks. Though I frequently see B150s being called 'Business' chipsets, what's the concept like for those B150 'Gaming' boards versus an entry level H150?

Actually I meant these guys:
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B150-PRO-GAMING/
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B150-PRO-GAMING-AURA/

Both were available at the place I got my parts from, but I was unsure of what to make of them.
