[SOLVED] Need help picking a motherboard.

mhass24 · Dec 4, 2018

I need an mATX mobo for an i7-6700.

The options I see are z270/b250/h270/q270/c236.

I've only researched the first three, and learned that Z is for overclocking and B is for business? H is for home. My cpu is locked, so should I just get a b250?

I have no idea what I'm doing. Please help, and thank you.

Well basically you should go with an H270 or Z270, forget the others, the thing is, the chipset is the same so no performance differences, but often the Z series are more complete with more usb readers or m2 support and things alike, if you just want the bare minimum to go by and save some bucks, get whats cheapest with either Z or H (prolly H anyways). if you are using an locked cpu odds are that you're not needing much, nor seeking overclocks and performance tweaks, plus, this is already... "sorta" obsolete hardware, next time you swap your CPU you will swap your motherboard as well.

since its not a K version CPU you can save some cash by going for the H series chipset over the Z series. the H version is the basically the same feature and quality wise minus overclocking abilities and SLI. the rest are too underperforming to be used with an i7 CPU

This chart will tell you what you get for each chipset:

Likely, any will do so you can shop by price.
