Final Thoughts and Conclusion
Asus took the arena by storm when the Sandy Bridges and associated chipsets first launched and they quickly rose into the no 1 spot mostly because of their quality and performance.They gave fierce competition to competitors like Gigabyte and MSI for the most liked Motherboards and they held on to the no1 spot in terms of sales.Not saying that Gigabyte and MSI makes real bad boards . Now this board is the direct successor of the erstwhile Z68 top of the line board P8Z68 Deluxe and I must say it is a worthy successor.
Platform wise Z77 is a re-write of Z68 chipset with a few extra like on-board usb 3.0 so in my opinion if you already have good Z68 board like Deluxe or ROG series don’t upgrade for just thinking that u will get a few more points extras.Now if you are looking for new features and options then this board is a gem with apps like Fan Expert 2 and Wifi go. Just for WiFi alone i will pick up one(you guys are welcomed to gift me also).
Jokes aside if someone is looking to upgrade into a high end Sandy bridge or Ivy bridge setup then this board should be on your list. Asus just pulled one more ace from their sleeves and proved why they are no1 still now.
So from the OCFreaks! Team and me , I give this board a 5 star rating.
