Great mobo
Pros: I had no problems with this board. The first thing I did after installing it was update the bios, which took less than a minute (excluding download time) I have never been so happy with a motherboard.
Cons: None
Overall Review: H77 does not support overclocking the cpu, you can change a bunch of values but the multiplier will not go past the default for the cpu. I have successfully overclocked my igpu (Intel HD4000) using the bios in this motherboard.
Eh, it's alright
Pros: Comes with enough grease for a few applications. Keeps my i5 3570k at a decent idle temperature.
Cons: The thermal grease can handle an idling cpu, but when I start gaming, all hell breaks loose and my temps hit 105 degrees Celsius in under 5 minutes. I have a Corsair h60 liquid cooler, so I'd say the thermal grease is the issue.
Overall Review: If you need this for basic everyday computing, great choice, but for cpu intensive gaming or programs just spend a couple more bucks and get something name brand.
Junk
Pros: Many nice features, like pci-e 3.0 (supposedly) Updating the bios was easy.
Cons: My whole system broke. My integrated graphics froze all the time and I had to unplug my pc to shut it off. Destroyed my gtx 660 (thanks to EVGA that's not a problem) Looks like it fried the ram on the gpu. Constant hard drive corruption and bsod. The motherboard may not have caused all of this, but when I replaced it for an asus brand, all of my problems went away and my integrated graphics worked without issue. My processor seems faster too. Bios updates are rare. Maybe I just got a bad board?
Overall Review: There was finally a new bios update. I'm not sure if it was supposed to fix the problems I was having though because after updating, it corrupted my hard drive and I lost years of 3d models. This motherboard caused me nothing but trouble. Btw, the processor I used was an i5 3570k
Short life
Pros: I just bought it for the price and buttons on the side.
Cons: Cheap feel, autofire sucks, stopped working a few months ago.
Overall Review: I think I paid around $12 for the mouse, so I didn't expect much.
