I7 6700k and 110 series

vishal10 · Dec 21, 2016

I have bought I7 6700K and planning to buy H110 Mobo (Asus H110M-A) due to budget, is it advisable ? P.S-will be buying Z170 in a year

This is a good priced z170 if you have the cash.

The H110 motherboard is alright but only has 2 RAM slots. You can find B150 boards for very little more that have 4 RAM slots. You probably would have been better off with an i7 6700, which includes a heatsink.

If you don't intend to buy an expensive aftermarket cooler and overclock, there's not a lot of reason to move up to a Z170 chipset, so you could stick with a less expensive B150 with no downsides.

Will i face any other issues than Ram slots??

Ecky · Dec 22, 2016

The different chipsets have different features. H110 I believe is limited to a single PCIe 16x slot, while B150 can have two, with a total of 16 lanes to split between them. Z170 ups that to 20, meaning you could have two 16x cards running at 8x, with an M.2 SSD using 4 lanes. B150 and up support firmware-level RAID. Z170 is the only chipset which supports changing CPU multiplier or memory frequency above 2133mhz.

The number of USB, SATA and LAN ports will vary from board to board, as will the particular onboard audio implementation.

However, in terms of stability and performance, H110 will work just as well as Z170 with any CPU that fits in its socket.

This Z170 is on sale at newegg with a 20 rebate bring its total cost down to $69.99. The B150 will also not increase your RAM speed past 2133. If you want higher RAM speeds or overclocking the CPU I suggest the Z170.

I'm wary of rebates. Recently I've gotten them more often than not, but I've usually long forgotten about them when (and if) they finally arrive. It's also a pain to use the pre-loaded debit cards in most locations.
