It looks like Z77 boards are close to release

[ennogs]

A few manufacturers are showing Z77 boards

MSi http://www.msi.com/product/mb/#/?sk=Socket 1155

Asus http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/Intel_Z77

Gigabyte http://www.gigabyte.com/products/list.aspx?s=42&jid=2&p=2&v=24

Asrock http://www.asrock.com/mb/index.asp?s=1155

A northern based retailer has MSI boards on sale now.

im confused as to why Asus arent showing the maximus V formula on their site?, only the maximus V gene, which I'm not interested in...

 

[mishima]

This is because the Gene will be released first, then Formula and Extreme even later on. ASUS are still finalising their Formula board as per our report from CeBIT:

Asrock aren't yet showing the Extreme9 either

@griff they've all vanished from their site now though, me thinks they might have upset msi jumping the gun.

Just noticed they'd removed all of them from the website.

There are ASRock ones being sold at the moment as well.

 

[Doop!]

I noticed an ASRock Extreme 4 on an online auction site

edit: beaten

 

[thenewoc]

That Extreme4 looked interesting at first but their ad is misleading.
2 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 x16, which is not what Asrock's site states;
2 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots (PCIE2/PCIE3: single at x16 (PCIE2) / x8 (PCIE3) or dual at x8/x8 mode)

 

[Hidden Hippo]

All the boards I've seen (there is another site offering the full MSI Z77 range) seem to say dual PCIe3 x16, but then say it would be x16/x0 or x8/x8. I guess either slot is capable of x16, but only one can do that at a time.

 

[thenewoc]

I'm waiting on confirmation from msi on the GD55 as that could be the same, otherwise the Asrock Extreme9 is looking very interesting.

 

[Hidden Hippo]

Interestingly the boards on the auction site have vanished too - manufacturers cracking down on people selling early I wonder?

Do we know when the official release date actually is?

 

[P3N9U1N]

The msi range of z77 gd55 and z77 gd65 has been on sale at a certain retailer for a few days now...

looks like dual usb3 internal headers will be a premiun

If it's the northern based one mentioned earlier then they're now being listed as discontinued stock and don't have a date for getting more in. Methinks they might have had a slap on the wrist from MSI for jumping the gun a little...

probably because cases with lots of usb 3 ports are at a premium too

I reckon they just sold out of the units they had available...

Already?, I wouldn't be surprised to be honest, with prices like they are, I would have nabbed myself a GD-65.

Although I do think they got told off for releasing them so soon...

edit: Although I'm looking at the retailers page on the GD65 and it doesn't say it's out of stock, and I can still add it to my Cart...
