Chipset for my new build h87 vs h97

[Stefan Petrovic]

I want to build a system for my brother and i wanna go with an Mini-ITX case so i was looking for mobos and my question is what is the difference betwen h87 and h97....i it can support broadwell but i dont need it...is there any more improvments ?

There isn't much difference between the H97 and H87. The only difference between the two chipsets is M.2 support.

just to point out, and I think you already know it... but H cant be overlocked or SLI. but considering youre going mini itx I don't think you were planning to...

 

[RageGamingZone]

Strong point right there hdmark, he might have to got for the Z series if he wants to use SLI or overclock.

No OC nor SLI/Crosfire....main point is price....i cant seem to find what is the diference other than OC and SLI.......how about h81? is it lacking any crucial features or not?
