Thanks Surveyor, must have been how I saw the picture.

Asus. Simply because their UEFI bios is **** hot.
Going to grab a P8z77 pro as soon as it comes to market or thereabout
Although, I'm now tempted by the deluxe
More USB & esata ports. Also BT included.Also thinking of paring it with this ram:

Any indication of default supported ram speed? Asus seems to have missed it off on the specs

I was looking to upgrade from my gigabyte p67 was going to go z68, but i have noticed MSI Z77s of all flavours for sale and in stock somewhere inj the uk. Not read a review as yet, but is it worth going to Z77 in the early days without any real reviews etc or get a possibly more stable Z68?

They are basically the same chipset, it's just that z77 is tweaked & includes a few extra things such as USB3 & PCIe3
this is what influences my buying decision the most

I have MSI at the moment and fined it easy to get around, maybe it lacks a few Oc options, i suppose i'll go for the best combination of price and features, but do like the look of the MSI boards good layout and good looks to boot

If it was for myself then probably ASUS or Gigabyte if it was for a customer and was a work machine with no overclocking then Intel 10000%...

Me too.
April 29th is the release date according to the link >> http://www.custompcreview.com/2012/03/09/intel-ivy-bridge-launch-date-confirmed/
Going for the Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H this time around, totally decided.

Gigabyte, going by the praise they get on here.
Had an asus but it got damaged and am now on an asrock but i think it will depend on features and price and then lastly looks. I have had a few gigabyte boards with no issues and 1 asus that was damaged but still unsure exactely how. Asus were not easy to deal with.
It can't be long now folks, OcUK added a new section: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=5&subid=2261
A few articles are saying Monday April 9th for the Z77 chipset motherboards.
Ivybridge CPU's wont be scheduled for release at the same time, a Biostar Rep also confirmed this in a video on Hexus.

I'm still feeling a Gigabyte solution for me.
Between Gigabyte and Asus. I like the Sabertooth, however I don't like the way Asus drop the ball once they've got your money.
Gigabyte purely based on the good stuff being said about them here, but I'll need to know more about fan controls to see if it'd cut the mustard.

ASRock, as they seem to have decent overclocking with it's simplicity, plus the all black look on mATX, i'm wanting a change from Asus.
