Hi,

I am looking for a motherboard for a 7th series Intel i5 (NOT planning to overclock), let's say i5-7600. Something mid-range - 8 GB DDR4, GTX 1050, PCI-E WiFi adapter.

So it's going to be the B250 or H270 chipset, and I find that some motherboards are equivalent with only difference in the chipset. For example, two options are:

Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H (83€)
Gigabyte GA-H270M-D3H (106€)

Which is the difference between these two chipsets? And between these motherboards? Anything related to build/materials quality that makes it worth the extra money? The only difference I see is the USB Type C (not important to me).

Thaks for your time!

I had already read that thread.

I'm more interested in the difference between the two motherboards. If the only difference is the capabilities of each chipset and the rest of the motherboard is identical, I'm afraid the H270 isn't worth the extra money for me. Is that right?

Which are the implications of having a "Business" or a "Consumer" chipset?

Thanks.

Do you mean it could be enough with a B250, that provides intel optane and an m2 slot?

For that Gigabyte model:

Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H (83€)
Gigabyte GA-H270M-D3H (106€)
Gigabyte GA-Z270M-D3H (129€)

If there are no more significant differences between the B250 and H270, I don't see the point of H270 mobo for the price.

Even the B250 mobo has an M.2 slot and optane support. OP isn't overclocking, so I don't see why they'd need a Z270.

@angel11 just get the B250 mobo.

I see. That was the kind of differences I was looking for.

Thanks!
