Z77 MPower now at OcUK and ready to PRE-ORDER!!

[Clairvoyant]

Due this week, but when. For Delivery this week or not.

Very tempted to hit buy.

 

[Sneblot]

Should I get this or go for the MSI Z77 GD65 with 8Gb of ram?

 

[-Mike-]

It 'only' has six sata ports No good for me. Gutted.

 

[Roverno]

Tis a shame that i already have my asrock board and all my kit water-cooled. If i was was buying now, this would be top of the list for sure.

*Waits for someone to build this with a 7970 Lightning and some Mayhems yellow fluid.*

 

[SFFNoob]

Stonking price!

 

[scwba06]

How does this Conpare to the giga up4-th?

Was thinking the same wish more boards had more than 6 sata connections.

 

[Cods-Nostril]

would be on my list for sure... maybe in a month or 2

 

[Defy Belief]

Corr, that with a lightning gpu would look the nuts.

 

[Clairvoyant]

Hmm this or a Asus Z77 Sabertooth (can get one for the same price).

Well I have an Asus Z77 Sabertooth, but If I was going to buy today for the same price, I think I would get this new one, the thermal shield on the sabertooth looks nice, but the MSI have Wifi, bluetooth and I think the sound is better too.

You can see how the board would look with a lightning card in it at 7 mins.

The board would match my watercooling perfectly but i'm saving up at the minute unfortunately.

Yippee, they are now in stock. My MSI Z77 MPower has shipped! I guess I'll have it on Monday.

I've made a thread in the motherboard section for driver's, bios updates etc >> **Official MSI Z77 MPOWER Discussion Thread**

I think it looks good, so much better than that dodgey gun barrel heatsink. Still no PCI slot which imo should have 1 instead of so many small PCI-E that no one would use anyway on this kind of board.

How does this Conpare to the giga up4-th?

• It look's different.
• It has no thunderbolt ports or PCI slot, the UP4 has PCI and also 2 thunderbolt.
• It has more gimmicks than the radio.
• Probably overclocks like a beast, but the UP4TH overclocks well too.
• UP4TH chokes run at 60 degrees full load, not sure about this boards temps.
• It's cheaper!

These are selling mega fast! An absolutely awesome board!

 

[HammyUK]

Nice Price

 

[chippy08]

would have been interesting to try but not many sata ports less than what i have now.

 

[Nelly]

None been in stock since the initial batch? We need more people with these boards to play with!
