[SOLVED] Should I go with an H570 motherboard rather than a B560?

[CapCap]

I'm planning on building this system, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KTMHy4. The plan is to use intel's integrate graphics until gpu prices go down. I heard that B560s motherboard are having some speed issues, although I'm not really sure. Is this true? And if yes, should I choose an H570 instead of a B560? Specifically, should I go with an "Asrock B560M Pro4 Motherboard Micro ATX" or an "Asrock H570M Pro4 Motherboard Micro ATX"?

Since your chipset, regardless of H570 or B560, won't allow you to go past DDR4-2666MHz, it's best if you downgrade the ram's frequency to DDR4-2666MHz. As for the chipsets, both are the same.

Are you sure it doesn't support that? I thought that it does according to this site (https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B560M Pro4/index.asp#Specification) and another site that's in greek so there's no point in me sharing the link.

Sigh...you might want to read through the memory section of the specs page for that motherboard.

B560 and H570 chipsets allow memory overclocking.

I stand corrected, forgot about Intel enabling overclocking on the lower tier boards for higher speed rams;

Well, it is shocking to see Intel put any kind of overclocking capability on non-Z chipsets Looks like AMD doing good job.

Thank you all for your time.
