Motherboard chipsets

[WesternPeregrine]

After a little more research, I went to the MSI site and put the 3 products in comparison.

Seems the name variation of the motherboards refer to the integrated chipsets that handle the motherboard operations. This are minor components, and any of them should work well, not being fundamental to the selection of the motherboard.

in the comparison, both B85 and H87 handle DDR3 at 1066/1333/1600 MHz memory, while the Z87 can handle up to DDR3 2800 or 3000 (overclocked) MHz memories. None of them have DDR4 ram capability.

Z87 and H87 have 6 Sata III slots for drives and such, while B85 has only 4 Sata III and 2 Sata II.

B85 only has 2 front usb ports, while the other 2 mb have 4. Other ports composition is similar in all mb.

B85 doesn't have RAID system, according to the website.

Other than that, they are completely similar.
