Which Motherboard?

[Exvy]

Should I get the Gigabyte H110M-S2H or the MSI H110M PRO-VH?

Ignoring I/O and other connectors the MSI is the better one.

The VRM is much better and is the one i would get.

The Gigabyte, since it has 2 USB 3.1 headers on the back.

It also has 4 DDR4 RAM slots. Anything else better than the MSI?

 

Edit: It only has 2 slots.

Nvrmind, it was lying. It was a typo on their part, as they mis-wrote 3.1 as 3.

I would still go Gigabyte, as it has more back I/O connectors.

I really don't use 3.0 (I've never seen it in my life) but it's always good to have.

Why?

I kinda like the Gigabyte better because it has more ram slots.

It does not have 4 DIMM slots. http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5607#sp

The site that I will buy the MB says it has but guess they are wrong.

Well the gigabyte one has a 3+1 phase.

The MSI has a 4+2, which is just better

 

There is less heat, because there are more phases available powering the cpu they don't need to work so hard and reduces the risk of VRM overheating, something previous generation cheap gigabyte boards could suffer from.

 

Some things that might people say is irrelevant but a more stable VRM is healthier for your cpu because the power that the cpu gets is more stable so in theory the cpu lives longer.

 

The higher end the cpu is the more important a good VRM becomes.

 

It's like cheaping out on a psu, you can but you really shouldn't.
