H77 vs z77

[skullwarrior]

Hi all what is the difference between h77 and z77? I was reading that z77 is meant for overclocking which I will not be doing so should I just go for h77?

Basically the difference is that a Z77 motherboard allows overclocking and Crossfire/SLI while a H77 does not. H77 is also, obviously, cheaper. So the choice is very eary

If your not overclocking or using dual video cards a H77 will have everything you need.

I recommend this one:

H77 is still good for gaming because you can overclock GPU with H77 also.
Speed Boost has somewhat made CPU overclock pointless, and RAM overclock was never that big of a factor. Most people in reality don't really need Z77.
