H770 motherboards
H770 sits between B760 and Z790: memory overclocking and generous chipset lanes, but no CPU multiplier control.

- The thing people get wrong
- It is a rare chipset in retail, so the choice of boards is small and the VRMs are mid-range across the board.
The spread inside H770
Inside this one chipset, the ASUS Prime H770-Plus D4 holds about 372 W of sustained core power and the ASUS TUF Gaming H770-Pro WiFi holds about 669 W. That is a factor of 1.8 between two boards wearing the same badge, and it is the reason a chipset name is a poor proxy for whether your processor will keep its clocks.
The same processors on the best and worst H770 board
