To test this board, we are able to run all of our tests at stock speeds using a pre-defined set-up of hardware. We will also be overclocking the processor to its limits on this board to see how it compares against the stock speed.
Test system:
- Asus P8Z77-V
- Intel i7-3770k
- Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz 16GB
- AMD Radeon HD 7970
- Corsair H80
- Corsair HX1050
- Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD
- Patriot Wildfire 120GB SSD
- Lian Li T60
- AOC E2795VH
We would like to thank AOC, Asus, Corsair, Kingston and Lian Li for supplying us with our test system components.
Many different software applications are also used to gain the broadest spectrum of results, which allows for the fairest testing possible.
Software used:
- 3DMark 11
- AIDA64
- Cinebench R11.5
- CPU-Z
- PCMark 7
- Super PI
Mainstream boards are the manufacturers bread & butter. I like this board. While the ROG boards only cater to the minority of people this kind of board makes the most sense to me personally. Although I’ve had a number of ROG boards pass under my nose which I’ve played with & tested, my personal rig which is very mainstream. I like the fact that this one has a legacy PCI slot as I still use an Asus Xonar sound card which is PCI. I have no intention of replacing it anytime soon. It’s sound is far better quality than the integrated sound bundled with most (if not all) high end boards & it’s overclocking capabilities are more than enough for most people. I owned (if I can call ‘owning’ parts I’ve managed to con from the suppliers) this particular model of board for a while and I was more than happy with it, in fact I’d still be using it if I hadn’t managed to snaffle a newer mainstream board from Gigabyte which is just as good.
I have it , its very good board , and ASUS is always the best and my favourite when its coming to motherboards
From what I have been reading Asus makes good boards but the RMA process is amount to: Just throw out the mobo and buy a new one. It is that bad.
