ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
This is one of the best Motherboards I have ever purchased or used. I have been a home PC builder enthusiast for 20 years and I have always found ASUS products to be some of the best. I tried a Gigabyte mother board for this project and returned it to Amazon because of hardware compatibility issues. This board worked right out of the box. I do recommend updating the bios immediately for Windows 8 compatibility. The software suite that comes with this board is wide and deep. The Wi-Fi works flawlessly but be sure to mount it on the motherboard before mounting the ATX motherboard in your case. Amazon is also my go to for great prices and support.
This motherboard is the best thing I could ask for. It's got USB 3.0 and will have a thunderbolt connector once they give us an adapter. It's pretty sweet, even has a fast charging for one night when my iPad charger was lost and needed it for work, it was there to finish charging it that night. Already been a life saver once, and still has plenty of ability to do more with sli, and more ram.
I recently built a new computer and wanted to use an AMD processor. My son recommend ASUS , so I called the support department to find out which board I should use and was able to talk with a tech right away that provided all of the information I needed. The mother board comes with a program CD that makes it easy to update the bios without any problems or affect on any of the installed programs. I downloaded the BIOS from the ASUS web site. I recommend the board and company that make it. I also got the board for a good price along with a rebate.
Bought this mobo a couple weeks ago and it has worked great. I chose the "v" version over the "pro" version and saved $30 (the pro version has 4 usb 3.0 ports, the v version has 2). The simple overclocking feature is well worth the price of this board. Enabling the TPU switch on the mobo overclocked my 3770k from 3.5 to 4.2. All with one flip of a switch on stock cooling. Nice! I highly recommend this mobo.
I have several of these boards and I couldnt be happier. I have 3 computers with the board running at full CPU load 24 hours a day (Seti@Home) and rarely have resets/problems. I use them with the Intel 2600k processor. I dont have time to mess with fidling around with voltages and tweaking for max overclock anymore so I really liked the AI Auto Tuning feature. Litteraly one click and it figured out a decent overclock.. 3.5mhz to 4.5mhz. no bloat ware so im happy about that too. Remember your motherboard is only as good as the power you supply it. Dont skimp on the powersupply. I recommend the Corsair PSU's with this board
I know its confusing what brand to buy and what product of the brand to choose. i did a lot of research before buying this one. Many will consider ASRock for the price difference. However, i narrowed down the brands to Gigabyte, Asrock, MSI and asus.
After comparing all together, Asus was the best choice from Quality, OC capabilities, price and Software. im not gonna go into details because the [...] has a gr8 article about these four mainboards so you can read it and compare yourself then choose whats best for you.
Now the hard question was, should i buy this one, Deluxe or pro?
i did a simple trick and went to newegg and compared the three products, all of them are the same except one has more USB 3.0 ports, bluetooth, more SATA 3 ports, more PCIe 1x slot.
the price varies around 100$ between this one and the deluxe just for more USB 3.0 , Sata 3 and bluetooth. However, i dont need these extra stuff and i dont think they should cost that much, so i went with this one, saved 100$ and get other stuff with it.
However, about the product itself, this is the best mainboard -whether this, deluxe or pro- among all of others, very solid, stable. ASUS software bundle is gr8 as well.
If you are thinking of upgrading your PC, this is the best choice to get, good deal on a gr8 mainboard.
