Can MSI h110m pro-vh run well with gtx 970 and i5 6500?

Hello all,

as the title said, is it compatible? (I didn't quite understand bottleneck thing, be glad if someone could explain it)

Can i still play game at high setting such as witcher 3 with those combination?

It's not bottlenecking that I'm concerned about here... It's the fact that the VRMs on the motherboard (part of power delivery for the CPU) have no heatsink. Long gaming sessions may cause them to overheat, causing the CPU to receive unstable power, creating a set of circumstances where I would be surprised if the system didn't crash.

Have parts been ordered yet?

To answer your question about bottlenecking, it's pretty much exactly how it sounds. If you have a garden hose, and you plug most of the end, the water flow is reduced.

Same basic concept. Let's think of the water coming out of the hose as information moving from one component to another inside the computer. If a CPU is not strong enough or is simply too slow, it will not deliver information to the GPU at a fast enough rate to get fps. It is important to note that the total speed of a system is limited by it's slowest component. If the CPU is the slowest, you will likely notice effects while gaming and benchmarking. If the HDD is the slowest, you will likely notice the effects while attempting to launch programs or load game sessions. If the GPU is the slowest, the effects will once again be seen in gaming and benchmarking, but may also be noticeable when watching fullscreen videos.

A bottleneck is a component that is running slower than other components are requesting information from it. Because it is unable to deliver information fast enough, the computer feels slow and sometimes stutters as well.

not yet, dont worry

is there any solution for that? or is the solution will cause more money than buying a better mobo?

what mobo do you recommend with the cheapest price but doesn't have trouble with those combination?

P.S: I choose MSI gtx 970 tiger edition, will not OC, SLI or anything fancy complicated stuff..

Thank you for your response!

Ok I get it. Thank you for the explanation!

Also if you are thinking about the mobo recommendation, I also have a thread about my in progress build here:

You can get little heatsinks like these, but they are difficult to keep them from falling off. That and whether or not they work depends on case airflow.

Compare my recommended boards.

do you have other recommendation?

the asrock is not available in the store, only the B150M Gaming K4 available, 🙁

the gigabyte one is a little bit pricey and I plan to use DDR4 (refer to my on progress build)

the MSI one is not available too for the PC mate , the one available is:
MSI B150M - PRO VH or the VDH one, There is also the B150M BAZOOKA, or B150M Gaming Pro

 

[weberdarren97]

I would recommend the MSI B150M BAZOOKA

Thank you very much!
