No one would have believed you if you had claimed a few years back that ASRock would release a £320 motherboard. Ever since the former ASUS budget-brand claimed its independence, every year the manufacturer keeps raising the bar with its deluxe high-end boards. It was that time again recently, when it launched the Socket 1155 motherboard Z77 Extreme11. This Ivy Bridge motherboard comes complete with workstation-like features.

Pünktlich zur Weihnachtszeit möchten wir Euch eine Reihe an AMD Sockel FM2 Platinen präsentieren. Den Beginn macht das Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-UP4 Mainboard, das auf dem AMD A85X Chipsatz basiert. Die Platine ist reichhaltig ausgestattet und stammt aus der Ultra Durable 5 Serie.
Diese hat Gigabyte auf der Computex 2012 vorgestellt und umfasst besonders hochwertige Komponenten. Vor allem im Bereich der CPU VRMs möchte Gigabyte so punkten und setzt anstelle von gewöhnlichen MOSFETs auf IR3550 PowIRstage ICs. Hinzu kommen hochwertige Spulen mit Eisenkernen. Jede Phase soll nach Angaben von Gigabyte mit 60 Ampere belastbar sein, was hohe Taktraten ermöglichen soll. Zusätzlich soll sich auch die Effizienz deutlich verbessern.

Haswell and the Z87 chipset may be on the horizon, but the drive to have motherboards at all price points in the market for Z77 is as fierce as ever. A large number of users are seeking the budget options, both on the grounds of backwards compatibility and also their rich set of features for their competitively low price point. Not too long ago I took a look at two of Asus' entry level boards - the P8Z77-V and the P8Z77V- LK - both of which impressed me with their performance for a mainstream board and at a really affordable price. This doesn't stop Asus from making things even more affordable though. Whilst the more expensive -V model had a very rich set of features that covered all grounds for someone that was upgrading their motherboard, both on compatibility and future proofing, the slightly lower spec board does (as expected) drop a few features - including HDMI.
The drop of HDMI is something that one would expect on an entry level board, but with the number of user looking for budget options rising and also the number of monitors that support HDMI rising at all levels, its a wonder why its not a standard feature these days. Fear not though as Asus have thought exactly the same and so this leads us towards the new board that we are looking at today. The Z77-A is an ~£80 board that not only offers up HDMI support out of the box, it also offers gamers features that they would expect on higher level boards with support for two way CrossFireX and SLI.

Oggi analizzeremo una scheda madre che si preannuncia allettante per i gamer in cerca di una scheda madre da urlo, ma con un occhio di riguardo per il portafogli. Vedremo nel corso della recensione come MSI abbia personalizzato questa scheda madre al fine di incontrare le esigenze di questo target di utenza.
