Massive B-Grade Motherboard Price drops!

Wow, you couldn't write it. As well as my wanted thread, ive been been refreshing latest deals, B-grade, MM, eBay literally every 15 mins for a week or so looking for a cheapish z77 sli mobo. I bought a 3770k for BF4 a week ago and didn't want to flash my z68 MSI mobo bios to support ivybridge as its irreversible and screws up sandy bridge support. Anyway it seemed it was never going to happen so I flashed my mobo last night. Gutted. :( Nice prices though.
 
I got an MSI board without any accessories at all, not even i/o shield. Then cost money to ship back. Puts me right off going for one of these again until we can get details on whats included. I dont mind missing box or missing sata cables and stuff. But no i/o plate is just silly imo.

Click to expand...

I've had 3 board from B-Grade and they've all come with the I/O shield and some accessories
 
I had one without io shield. But my main z77 giga ud5h was complete. The one without io was cheap h61 board.
 
Do they let you call and find out prior to buying one?

The last board i got had no i/o shield in but i posted in the CS section and ocuk sent me one out :)
 
YOUR BASKET
1 x **B Grade** ASRock Z77 Extreme9 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £140
Total : £150.80 (includes shipping : £9.00).




my asus maxius iv extreme board died and the refurbished one is not great. (low over clock head room)

is this a better replacement?

2600K + OC is still great for gaming nothing worth upgrade yet i don't think

edit i run 3 6950s (oc and ul etc) want to upgrade those but the mrs has other plans :-(

The boards are selling very quickly!! As for the Extreme9, its the closest you will get to the MivE.

Play around with dirrent BIO reviosions on your board first, some clock better than others :)
 
Very tempted to get the Asus P8Z77-M PRO (my gaming rig is micro-ATX size)... The only thing puttig me off is the lack of a PCI slot for my Asus Xonar! If i buy a PCI-E Xonar then my GPU will most likely be knocked down to x8 PCI-E lanes :(.

Also, what kind of warranty do you get with grade b boards? Is there any visible damage/marks or repairs done to them? Cheers :).

You could always contact the manufacturers, Im sure they'd be able to supply a replacement IO shield for a small cost :)
