Gigabyte GA H170-N Wifi vs ASRock H170M-ITX

Gigabyte GA H170-N Wifi vs ASRock H170M-ITX, any difference between the 2 motherboards? Including benchmarks if possible please.

I think the only differences would be the features but just to be sure.

Any slightest comparison, etc.

The ASRock is cheaper than the Gigabyte board in my country at the moment.

Which ITX courtesy of ASRock are we talking about? Since they have;

-H170M-ITX/ac
&
-H170M-ITX/DL

The Gigabyte looks to have an ALL Intel networking load out while also having a better beefier capacitor range for the onboard audio coupled with an ALC1150 codec by Realtek so that's where my suggestion will lie. The ASRock boards look cheap and has the older ALC 892 chip onboard with Realtek NIC and an Intel Wireless card.

* Benchmarks are irrelevant since we don't know your full/intended system's specs. Results will vary from board to board.

Thank you for selecting my post as the Best Answer though did it really answer your question? What did you decide upon on an mitx board purchase? Where do you hail from?

Sorry for the late reply as I was busy with my studies. I've decided to go for the Gigabyte board is it seems to be superior in terms of "features" and quality compared to ASRock. Your opinion was the deciding factor actually.

I'm currently in Malaysia for tertiary education.
