| At a first glance ASUS leaves a very good impression with its P8Z77-I Deluxe. There even is plenty of space around the CPU socket to install large coolers. Furthermore we liked that ASUS equipped this board with an eight phase power design, which will be able to power an overclocked rig for sure. Generally very nice to look at is the design. The colors the deluxe boards ship with are very well chosen. | - Design | ||

Generally the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe's Layout has been very well thought. In case of the SATA connectors you find four straight ones right above the PCI Express x16 connector, close to the DIMM slots. Unique these days is the VRM design, which has been place on an additional raiser card. Like this ASUS has been able to get some more space to make this little board ready for overclocking. Furthermore it should even be possible to install big CPU coolers. In this case we would recommend to make use of a down draft cooler which will provide the onboard components with fresh air too. |
