Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe First Review

I've phoned a few of the more reliable suppliers I deal with today.
The availability dates they have on their systems all landed between the 3rd and the 8th May.

That's for the Asus board.

I expect the situation is similar for the Asrock.

IB sounds like a great platform for HTPCs especially with the new integrated graphics performance.

You're missing the point as are others as to what this board is really about.

Asus is partly to blame for giving it those monkeys to review instead of a proper enthusiasts site who would have gone into more detail about it's overclocking abilities rather than a few lines in the conclusion of the article.

This "could" the first mITX board that's worth spending money on since the legendary Gigabyte H55N-USB3.
Every mITX board since (2 years now) has been a steaming pile of **** from an overclockers perspective.

We still need to see a proper review of this board, and the anticipation for a lot of us interested in an overclocked mITX little beast is very frustrating indeed.

The interesting part in that conclusion is he took a 3570k to 4.6ghz which bodes well.

How durable it will be in the long run remains to be seen.

The Asrock board has no PLL voltage adjustment.

I was simply commenting on IB as a HTPC platform with Intel HD4000.

Ivybridge still has the 24fps issue that's plagued Intels IGP since they introduced it in Clarkdale (the first i3's if you like)
It hasn't been fixed.

Llano and the upcoming Trinity family of APU's are still a better choice for HTPC use, unless you want to shell out more for a discrete card when you become tired of the frame skipping during 24p content playback on any Intel IGP.

This is irrelevant ofc if you don't plan on watching any 24p content.
