Which Z77 motherboard?

[blackened23]

They're not that great, in all honesty.

The ASUS board that had comparable features to mine costed something like $200, and the color scheme wasn't nearly as good.

No way dude, asus has the best color scheme D:

vs.

Yeah... I don't think so, LOL. Blue looks horrible IMO. D:

The gold caps + dark brown PCB is unbeatable.

You take that back!

Deluxe has 20 power phases and wifi, thunderolt, esata, 4 way sli/cf, and better color to boot

Asus mobos look awesome

Depends on what you're used to....I miss DFI Lan Party boards!

I went with the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H and a 2600K. Be sure to get the current BIOS (F6)

I'm having a horrible time overclocking my 2500K on this board. The F6 notes show "better sandy bridge overclocking" with this update, so I'm hoping like hell this bios helps!

Blue Asrock board FTW.

I'm looking at the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H. I'd really feel more comfortable with something from Intel, but according to the Newegg reviews, the Intel Ivy Bridge boards aren't that great.

 

[MPiland]

I went with the Asus P8Z77-V Pro board and love it. Plus, I like the blue and black look. I even got blue G.Skill Ram . The only thing I don't like about the board as of right now is that the BIOS is a pain to update if you don't happen to have a USB drive handy lol

 

[gizbug]

you can't go wrong with ASUS. Have had many of their boards, and all have been great.

Things have changed here over the years..they used to talk infinium about the capacitors, and chips-sets and all the mobo choices, abit,supermicro,dfi on and on..todays gen members are more into colors.

I'm looking to get an ASRock z77 Extreme 4 for either an i5-3570k or i7-3770k... but sold out at MC...:'(

 

[xAlias]

I got the the Asrock z77 extreme(last one at my local MC) along with the i5 3570k. Seems like the Asrock z77s are OOS in most MCs coz of the bundling offer.

I was thinking the same thing, so sad, since the thread was about something else???

Would that be the Extreme4 or Extreme6, these boards seem to be well priced and I would like to know how your liking it so far.

 

[DigDog]

Extreme 4 is cheaper and there's many reviews of people positively impressed by it.
(also nice colour scheme)

I concur, I'd also like to know how people are liking their Extreme 4 & 6's. Looking to upgrade in the near future and those two are at the top of my short list of Z77 motherboards.

+1, another reason i got asus this time

I've got mine on the way now, should be arriving on Wednesday. Whenever I manage to get my system fully setup I'll try to remember to come back to this thread and post some impressions.
