H61 vs B75 vs H77 vs Z77

What are the differences?

Z and H chipsets are consumer chipsets, while the B chipset is geared towards companies. Z is your enthusiast chipset, with more features for overclocking and pushing performance limits. The H series chipset is your consumer grade chipset, made for people who don't need the additional features for overclocking and tweaking settings. If you tell me what you're planning to do I can give you a basic idea at which one you should look at.

I need a IvB mini-itx board that will allow me to up the turboboost multiplier by 4 on a non-k series processor.

While I am not sure if you can up the turboboost without a K series processor, the Z series chipset is the one you will want to look at purchasing, it would have the overclocking tools for changing the TB multiplier.

However, Intel has tried to remove most of the overclocking work-arounds in the non K series CPus, because those "are targeted at business and mainstream consumer users who shouldn't be fiddling around with multipliers in the first place".
