what is the difference between h61 and z77 chipset?

[TheOddOne]

so if you are not overclocking then why does people buy the z77 chipset

[TheOddOne]

i am thinking of buying this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221410733762?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

 

i dont think the seller is a scammer because the feedbacks tells me everything and i think this is very cheap

my fear is that i will get smacked in the butt if it is not brand new when the seller is a scammer

50% im taking the risk

this seller sold a graphic card brand new and the buyer left a good feedback so im edging towards buying it

so if you are not overclocking then why does people buy the z77 chipset

h61 is a 6th generation cheap chipset, z77 is a 7th generation overclocking chipset. Because most of the time, z77 boards look prettier, and people are stupid and think you need a z77 when they would be just fine with a h77 chipset.

so should i buy this or can get another better cpu taht the i5 3570k and the z77 d3h motherboard

H61 is cheaper so i am asking you guys whati s the benefits of this motherboard z77 d3h over the h61

so if i dont overclock can i just get the h61 with a 3570k

and i heard the 4670k is 220 same price as the 3570k and much better

 

would a 4670k and h61 motherboard be ok?

You may not overclock your pc the first year or two but you will finally do it.

i had my laptop for 4 years with the option to overclock never done it

im not on the computer alot because i work 2 part times

Yes.

 

Yes.

 

No H61 is LGA1155, not LGA1150.

 

Get a 4670K and a H81 motherboard, I don't think that eBay link is that good of a deal anyway considering CPU was $220 new and board $100 new.

If you are getting a K processor,might as well just get a Z-series motherboard,and vice versa. If you don't plan on overclocking,don't get the K cpu or the Z series motherboard.

 

Here's the comparison of both chipset.

don't get a h61, get h77, h61 is for core i3 and below on sandy bridge. And don't even get a 3570k, get a 3570

 

 

 

4670k uses 1150 socket, h61 is a 1155 socket. get a b85 chipset for the 4670k.
