Does anyone know of any good z77 mobos that have an all black colour scheme?
I dont mind extremely small accents like the UD4H but that's literally the only one I can find.
 
Was hoping someone didnt list ASRock ones. Had very bad experiences with them.
Found the MSI MPower which only has a tinge of yellow.
I just had a thought of vinyl wrapping accents off of the heatsinks. Would a tiny strip effect heat dissipation? Even more so, will it destroy the vinyl?

Get the MSI MPower and pull off the yellow stickers?
 
Asrock have moved on from a budget manufacturer and produce some fantastic motherboards, just read the reviews.

I have built many computers and have had faulty boards from all different companies.
 
Might have to think about ASrock again, they have the largest range of black motherboards.
Right now ive got the ASRock, MSI MPower and UD4H in my mind.
Wondering if I can get rid of the blue bits on the UD4h though.
 
I recently bought a sabertooth and it was DOA. Wont be buying another one as id rather not have the thermal armour anyway
 
I have the AsRock Extreme4 and it's been working faultlessly since I've had it. i2500K at 4.2GHz with 16GB of RAM at 1866MHz and SLi. It replaced a Gigabyte Z77 which didn't overclock as well and had persistent 'double boot' issues.
Only thing against the AsRock is that the board isn't black - it's dark brown. See the photos of my rig here:

The pics at the top are the Gigabyte (which is black), the later ones AsRock.
 
Wait, the extreme 4 is mini ATX? That actually looks great but obviously, I need a full ATX board.
Owned two ASRock boards, both went to RMA and came back saying they cant RMA it. Was furious.
Might take another plunge with them. Owned GIGABYTE boards ever since and theyve all served me well

EDIT: Oh the 1st pics were of the gigabyte! That looks gorgeous! cant say the same for the ASRock though :P
 
Ah, looks like the MPower is out the window. Only has 6 SATA ports. Adding my HDDs and DVD drive will fill that up, leaving me no ports for my SSD.
Cant get a RAID card because of watercooling.
 
Yeah, knew about the Extreme4 being narrower.
Been looking at photos and the brown board puts me off.
Ill be going with the UD4H and try and put a bit of vinyl over the blue.
 
Dont want to take the risk as the internals will be lit up as well.
Need to get a board fast as its slowing my build (+log) down
