z77 board on sale

ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe has gone on sale in China. I can't link as it may be classed as a competitor.

Hopefully others will quickly follow suit.

I'd be amazed if someone would actually consider buying from China rather than Overclockers to be fair.

Haven't the processors been delayed for a few months anyway?

Hopefully the pro version has a pci slot. Cba to buy a new sound card when this one works perferctly well

It looks like someone sneezed and thought 'hmm that would be a good colour scheme for a motherboard'.

Oooh comes with Wi-fi as well which means I move my current PC and B.T router out to the living room, I'm very tempted.

No Bigfoot Networks Killer card and no Creative X-Fi audio - good! I hope that knocks a good £100 off the price of the motherboard and they have upped the phases for the CPU from 8 to 15 VRMs, nice.

I could be tempted at £200, will see what Gigabytes other Z77 boards are like first before I make a choice.

SATA power connection to give the slots extra power.

or for the mSATA slot ?

EDIT : NAH It's got to be for the PCI-e slots

Pretty sure its for power to the slots, they did it with some of the X79 boards.

Suppose I should ask.

Subliminal Aura · 3 Mar 2012 at 19:21

Edited above... Yeah I like that. Those ugly 4-pin connectors are out

I'm still hoping for a Z77 version of the Gigabyte Z68 UD4, really love the look of black motherboards. If only Asus made one

Z77 Review

I notice it has 6 sata ports will the Gd65 have more maybe 8 sata ports ? Really wish they would stick more sata ports on these new boards.
