Pros and Cons of installing G4560 into H110 mobo

[ymbulk]

What are the pros and cons of installing Pentium G4560 into a H110 mobo instead of installing it into a B250 mobo?

The pros that I know of will be H110 mobo is cheaper to get.

Is the Asus H110M-K a good pair for G4560?

The con is, it wont work if BIOS 3016 isnt on it now. This is the latest BIOS

Look at the sticker on the mobo if the last 4 numbers arent 3016, you'll have to flash the BIOS with a CPU, that the BIOS that's on it supports then put this CPU in it. To use it

Pentium G4560 (3.5GHz, 2C, L3:3M, 54W, rev.B0) ALL 3016

You would have to do the same thing with a B250 and maybe a Z170 mobo. You would have to buy a Z270 so it'll support it

Noted, I will flash it to 3016 with a Skylake processor.

Is the other con that H110 mobo lacks Optane memory support? Is this technology important?

Anyone knows of other cons of installing G4560 into a H110 mobo?

Someone in here, was going to install an Intel Optane ssd a few days ago

Then read a review about it. It's too slow. Forget about buying one

I dont think the H110 supports NVME anyway. It would have to if you used a Optane ssd

If you want a H110 price level board you'll have to wait for H210 motherboards (Unlikely to actually release, idk why) to release first otherwise it won't work out of the box (Needs BIOS update using a Skylake CPU like others suggested).

Yeah, a very strange situation we have at the moment. 4560 is intended for cheap gaming builds, yet there are no cheap gaming motherboards for it, at least not out of the box - requires a BIOS flash first. A bitter pill to swallow if you buy the combo without taking care of the BIOS beforehand.

One more vote for H210 mobos, would love to see them.
