Up Close : P8Z77 V Deluxe
Before we dive into the review .. lets take a look at the board it self and its features.
The layout is nice and minimalistic.
The best things I like in the layout are:
- The space between the PCI-E slots.
- The component LED for cpu,ram,gpu and boot devices.
- The LED poster which helps in debugging or troubleshooting)
- on-board Thunderbolt header.
- the overall color theme.
A few more shots of the board and accessories:
We can safely say Asus has gone into overdrive when they designed this board; and they should be .. as this is the flagship board.
The back-panel includes:
- 4 USB 2.0 ports
- 6 USB 3.0 ports
