Good motherboard 09/19/2012
This review is from: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
USB 3.0 header, error code module, power/reset button, ASRock instant boot feature, nice looking bios. Too many features to list all.
Cons:
About 1 inch narrower than standard ATX size so the edge of the motherboard just hangs like a springboard for the PSU plug.
Overall Review:
Since it's narrower than standard ATX, be careful when inserting ram or especially the PSU plug on the right edge of the board. If you are not supporting it from the back it might break.
I set up my PC and everything works great. I recommend this board over more expensive brand name boards.
P.S. z77 vs h77.
Cannot overclock on h77 but you can on z77.
Cannot use dual GPU's on h77 but you can on z77.
This is why h77 is cheaper.
