Are there any difference between running i7 on H110 Mobo and running i7 on higher level Mobo?

[Centaurus Archerius]

I'm thinking of running i7 on H110 Mobo but some said that it'll not be as good as on other higher level Mobo. Is that right?

[Herman Mcpootis]

you get less features but that's about it.

if it's a locked i7 it won't matter a bit

if it's a K series and you want to OC, you can't OC unless it's a Z board

The only difference will be ports and features found on the motherboard. The processor itself will function and perform identically on any motherboard that supports it.

Yes.  These are the differences:

• PCIe lanes
• Overclocking
• Max USB3.0 ports
• RST via PCIe
• Smart Sound
• Optane

Honestly, overclocking and (to a lesser extent) max USB3.0 ports are the only ones I'd consider significant.

To answer your question, No. There won't be any performance differences.

^^^ Long story here!

Also...

Z series boards will allow you to lock the boost clock of a locked CPU on all threads, where as only some (not ALL) H and B series will offer such option.

Also...memory clockspeed...H and B series will only run the standard clock, can't run XMP profile (faster RAM) all in all...get a Z series board.

Yeah, I understand the differences feature-wise. What I'm not sure is the performance of the CPU.

Thank you all for your comments!
