H110 vs B150 for core i5 6500?

[BL00DL1N3]

Also, do they have difference in gaming? I only focus on the gaming performance.

Please don't say go for the h170 or higher. H110 and B150 fits my budget.

There are 2 types of LGA 1151 mobos: the Z170 ones and the rest. Well, I guess there are the Xeon mobos as well, but ignore that.

 

All you need to know is that there's not much difference between H110, H170 and B150. If the mobo you are looking at has all the features you want, go for it.

B150 has two more chipset pcie lanes for things drives and add on cards, also the chipset lanes on b150 run at gen 3.0 speeds, where the h110 run at gen 2.0 speeds.  Gen 3.0 is twice as fast, so gen 3.0 8x= gen 2.0 16x.  Also, b150 has 12 usb 3.0 ports vs 10 on h110.

in other words, b150 is better imo. 

 

Oh, and h110 only supports 2 dimms of ram, vs 4 on the b150 as well.  I've seen h110 mostly (only?) on m-atx boards.

Also, there's a B150 Hyper from Asrock that looks like you will be able to overclock... yea overclock! They use the BLCK chip which is nothing more than a special PLL that will control the clocks separately, so you can by pass intel lock.
