I am looking to buy a new cheap motherboard for my i5-6600k and DDR-2133 ram. I have narrowed it down to these 3:

https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GA-...sr_1_1?keywords="h110M"&qid=1583429598&sr=8-1

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813128910?Description=h110m&cm_re=h110m-_-13-128-910-_-Product

Both of these motherboards look the same. However, the one from Amazon states the ram is DDR4 2133Mhz DIMM non-ECC un buffered. While the one from Newegg states the ram is DDR4-2133. Is this the same?

The last motherboard:

https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Mothe...d=1583428653&sprefix=skylake+,aps,293&sr=8-31

Either will do quite well, although I would go with the Gigabyte as I use a lot of their boards and rarely have issues. The memory information (non-ECC un buffered) is of no import -- that is what you have already like all consumer DDR4 memory, i.e. no difference between what the two are saying.

Thanks for the information. I was leaning towards the Gigabyte one too.
 
Those first two boards are the exact same model: Gigabyte GA-H110M-H

Both the Gigabyte and ASRock are nearly identical though, the only differences I can see being that the ASRock has an 8-pin CPU connector while the Gigabyte has a 4-pin (both are 12V though), and that the ASRock has two more USB 2.0 connectors on the back I/O panel than the Gigabyte

The ASRock is a bit cheaper but I have heard that Gigabyte is generally a more reliable brand between the two, so I'd probably recommend the Gigabyte through the Amazon link. It's sold directly by the manufacturer and is covered through Prime, so any issues you'd have should be easy to resolve
