H110 V H170

[charvey2000]

So i'm looking to build a mid range gaming pc with a GTX 1060 and an I5 6500 and i want to know what are the main differences between H110 and H170 in terms of performance, I/O and other motherboard connections.

[charvey2000]

would this affect performance?

No performance difference. H170 offers more memory slots, USB3.0 ports, PCIe lanes etc.

not much of a difference honestly

The top row of that chart is wrong, shifted to the left one position (so where it says H170 it should have said Z170 etc).

Only miss fucntions like OCing and SLI support etc. And it has cheaper solutions for like LAN, audio chip, that sort of things. But no real difference in performance overall, since any standard CPU should be able to function on it..
