Perfect motherboard
05/05/2012
This review is from: ASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
This along with my i5 3570K cpu is a great match. Runs really cool, great amount of USB ports. Comes with USB 3 natively, Currently have my CPU at 4.1Ghz and neither my cpu or my motherboard are getting hot at all during load. Sata 3 now I can finally use my Vertex 4 SSD at full speeds. The motherboard itself has many features you just can't find on any other brands board.
Cons:
Meh. One of the reasons I bought this board was because of the software features that came with the board. Now don't get me wrong they do work exactly as expected and then some. But they do tend to use up a large amount of my memory for them to be active in the background. I currently have 4GB of memory and on boot I'm sitting with 35-40+% always used. Now I had plans to upgrade to 8GB anyway so I can't remove an egg.
Overall Review:
Overall the board itself is great. I bought this at a brick and mortar store that had a sale that if you buy an unlocked cpu you get $50 dollars off any Z77 board. I orignally was going to get just the P8Z77-v but after finding out about this deal I jumped up to the Pro and am loving it!
