We recently published a round-up of 32 motherboards with the Intel Z77 chipset. If you're not planning on overclocking and won't be using more than one graphics card, then there is a more affordable version available of the Ivy Bridge chipset called Intel H77. The chipset itself costs less, and motherboard manufacturers are also making less comprehensive boards. That means that you can buy a motherboard for your Ivy Bridge processor for around £70 already.
Ivy Bridge is now available for the consumer market and people are starting to consider upgrading their processors, and with that they need to upgrade their motherboard model also. However, there are still the vast majority that can’t afford to upgrade their CPU, or perhaps they just like there I7-2600K and don’t wish to part with it just yet. Well today, we will be taking a look at the Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H motherboard with the 2nd generation I7-2600K CPU. This review is useful for many of you who are not looking to buy Ivy Bridge just yet.
The Z77X-UP5 TH is a socket 1155 motherboard from Gigabyte targeted to the "Ivy Bridge" processors (third-generation Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 processors) loaded with a lot of extras, such as two Thunderbolt ports, one mSATA slot, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and more. Let's see what the Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH has to offer.
With the new FM2 socket upon us, we take a quick look at the latest FM2-A85XA-G65 board from MSI
ASRock have been aggressively targeting the overclocking audience in the last year and we have reviewed many of their motherboards for the Intel Z77 and X79 platform. Today we are focusing on a rather special design, created by overclocking guru Nick Shih specifically for the hardcore Z77 enthusiast audience. Make no mistake, ASRock are now a major force in the motherboard sector and today we overclock the Z77 Formula to the limits, and pair it up with an overclocked GTX680 and 16Gb of 2,666mhz rated memory.
The ASUS P8Z77I-Deluxe is perhaps the most comprehensive mini-ITX board that we've seen. Features include PCI-Express x16, 2x DDR3, 2x SATA600, 2x SATA300, 2x eSATA, Intel-based Gigabit LAN and a Realtek ALC898 audio codec. The mini-PCIe slot is filled with a combined 802.11n WLAN and Bluetooth adapter. What's different about this board is that ASUS put the CPU power supply on a separate PCB, which made room for eight phases and improves overclockability and energy-efficiency.
The Trinity line of APU's from AMD have shown us that it is possible to have respectable CPU and GPU performance all in one chip. Along with that you get low power consumption and a low price to boot. But as we have shown in our recent ECS FM2 motherboard review, these Trinity chips also have a little something for the enthusiast as well.
More and more companies are jumping on the mITX bandwagon with the Z77 platform, but the majority of these miniature boards lack the type of features found in their larger counterparts. The latest mITX board on the market, the EVGA Z77 Stinger, however is an entirely different beast, as it is a pint sized motherboard with enthusiast grade features such as native PCIe 3.0, SATA 6G and USB 3.0.
ASUS has P8Z77-V Pro / Thunderbolt is packed with features. You find everything from
Thunderbolt and SLi/CrossFire to WiFi GO and much more!
We have awarded the motherboard with out Great Product award. But how is the stability
and performance, and is it a overclockers choice?
Today we are going to take a look at the Biostar Hi-Fi A85W motherboard which features the same A85X chipset as the Gigabyte F2A85XM-D3H that we reviewed recently. Consequently, it features AMD’s FM2 socket which supports the latest ‘Trinity’ APUs.
