Which motherboard to choose?

[NocturnaL_1]

Hi guys just wondering which board should I take

ASrock B150m Combo-g
Or
ASrock H110m Combo-g

Here is the build if you it helps your decision make sure to leave your opinoin on it too

CPU - i5 6500 3.2Ghz Quad Core

GPU - Strix 970

PSU - Seasonic S12II 620W

Motherboard - To Be Decided

RAM - 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Veangeance 1600Mhz Memory

P.S I'm using DDR3 Ram cause its lying around and by using it the build will be cheaper

P.P.S I will not consider a RX 480 as they perform slightly worse than the 970 and they are 20-30€ dearer than a 970 for me

P.P.P.S Lol.... I will consider an SSD just not at this time

Why AsRock? There are much better quality boards with better bios and lower % of R.M.A...
Why you don't look at Gigabyte, MSI and ASUS?

Gigabyte - best choise due to the lowest % R.M.A

I would go for the B150m one.

Is your RAM DDR3L? If no, then it is not officially supported by your CPU and may damage it over time.
DDR3L is the same DDR3 RAM, but with lower voltage.

DDR3 - 1.5 volt.
DDR3L - 1.35 volt.

Most of the quality DDR3 RAM sticks have no problem working at the lower voltage.

So you can either ignore this issue and hope that your CPU won't fry up over time.
Or down volt the RAM and be sure that the CPU won't fry up .

I dont really believe if it is going to damage my pc if my mobo and my cpu support it. Reason is because on both websites for CPU and Mobo it specifies no were that DDR3 Ram can damage my CPU overtime and also the reason im choosing between them to motherboards is because they specifically support DDR3/DDR3L/DDR4.. but thanks for your opinion

Well, this is up to you to believe or not. The specs are the facts, which I just tell you.

http://ark.intel.com/products/88184/Intel-Core-i5-6500-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz

Intel Core i5-6500 supports:

- DDR4-1866/2133
- DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.35V

DDR3L is not equal to DDR3 which runs @ 1.5V. So, potentially it can damage your CPU memory controller over time.
