Which mATX board for G4560

[swiftz]

I have bought a used Pentium G4560 on eBay for my HTPC but which B250 board should I go for?

 

• Gigabyte B250M-DS3H
• Gigabyte B250M-D3H
• Asus Prime B250M-Plus
• Asus Prime B250M-K
• MSI B250M Gaming Pro

None, buy a motherboard that has heatsinks over both VRMs just to be safe

 

otherwise it really isn't going to matter most likely.

Either of the gygabyte ones will do fine.

The Gigabyte B250M-D3H has heatsinks over the VRMs I believe (correct me if I'm wrong).

They are all the same price, the Gigabyte ones are better than the Asus and MSI?

Asus is just overpriced and for a G4560 it doesn't really matter.

It's missing a heatsink on the top VRM, not that it really matters as much for that one

 

if those are you only choices probably just buy that

The Gigabyte B250M-D3H is the best one out of them choices?

Should be fine, no idea why it has an 8 pin CPU header, probably just the same across the line, you only need a 4 pin power connector for it most likely.
