Posted April 6, 2017 Hey guys, I have been looking to buy a new mobo. I'll also be buying a new g4560. I am very confused between three chipsets - h170 , z170 , b250 So, which chipset should I opt for. I am in no mood to overclock my cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 6, 2017 You can't overclock a Pentium G4560 unfortunately. So try to grab a cheap H110 motherboard, and make sure its BIOS supports the Pentium. Alternatively you could wait about a month for cheap AMD CPUs to come out, those will be overclockable but might cost a bit more depending on what they are. We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones) You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here Computer having a hard time powering on? Troubleshoot it with this guide.

Sorry, I skipped the word 'no' in phrase 'I am in mood'. So, now it sounds like this 'I am in mood to overclock my cpu'. In case if i do not wish to buy ryzen 3 due to its price, so would h110, just with an BIOS update, would be good enough as compared to h170 or z170 or b250 ?

If you don't want to overclock, a G4560 and a H110 motherboard (but make sure they will work together because some won't without a BIOS update). Those will do a good job for a gaming and office computer. And should be pretty cheap. We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now.

Posted April 7, 2017 H110 is a good suggestion, but since it's technically a last-generation chipset it can be difficult to be sure yours will come with the BIOS version needed for Kaby Lake CPU support. If you aren't sure, B250 is a good alternative. It's a bit more expensive, but peace of mind can be worth it sometimes. B250 does have additional PCIe, USB, and SATA connectivity over H110, though most low-end PCs won't need it.
