P8Z77-I ITX Tested with 3570K

Thanks for sharing the link. When I looked up the specs, I thought I'd finally found a worthy upgrade for my Mini-ITX server. Then I looked into pricing, and realised that it's almost on par with decent full ATX boards. Still, if somebody wants a powerful gaming machine in a small footprint, it seems this board will be ideal for them.
 
Yes about £150 but Asus are not cheap and although it will be a popular board for ITX the market is still smaller and there will have been a lot of specific engineering such as the VRM.

There ought to be a non-deluxe version at some point. You can save about £35 by going for the Asrock and the non-deluxe Asus H77 may be as little as half.

With H77 you wont be able to benefit from the unlocked multipler on K even if overclocking IB in an ITX case were a good idea, but the 3570K is one of the few i5s with HD4000 gfx.
