The shipsets are the set of standardised chips on the motherboard. These usually match up nicely to the generation of processor. On 1155, the relevant chipsets are: B75 (business chipset for non-overclocking chips), H77 (same use as previous) is recommended for Asrock H77M or Asrock H77 Pro4-MVP, Z77 (for overclockable ivybridge/sandbridge chips).

∙ 11y agoThe chipset of a motherboard consists of both Northbridge and Southbridge. Northbridge is the faster component, as it handles things such RAM and CPU. Southbridge on the other hand, takes things slow and handles components of the motherboard such as USB, Ports (audio, speaker, mic). The Northbridge and Southbridge must be made by the same manufacturer. For example, you cannot put a Northbridge AMD on a motherboard with Southbridge Intel.
