which is better

[avalon096]

I'm going to buy an asus motherboard for my new build I just want to know which is better from these 2 because they both look exactly the same

1- asus z270-k (prime) atx lga1151 motherboard

or this one

2 - ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS Intel H270 LGA1151

H - simple motherboard, no overclocking.
Z - enthusiast level motherboard that is completely unlocked and allows overclocking CPU/RAM, meanwhile H-series MOBO does not.

If you say they look the same and have the same features, then the only difference is the ability to overclock components. Do you need it? it's for you to decide.

if you don't plan to overclock, there is no need for an Z motherboard.
But if you got an intel core ix xxxx"K" CPU, you should get a Z motherboard so you could overclock in the future.

Best regards

ASUS PRIME H270-PLUS Intel H270 doesn't have any overclocking ability, SLI mode for milti NVIDIA GPU setups, and is restricted to 2 speeds of DDR4 ram

Yes they should work together (with z270 chipset motherboard).
