USB3 and Windows8 Guide
Because Win 8 has a native USB3 driver, Intel won't release theirs. Which is dumb, since it makes those USB3 ports usable.
I have the P77V -Deluxe or whatever. I'm putting together are revamped rig and I thought, hey, why not try this Windows 8 I got? I've liked it enough on other computers. This is the mistake, but I don't want to buy another Win7 copy...
Now I don't know about you guys, but I have a large external that I copy backups to in case my internal drives fail. It's 3TB and USB3 (I don't know if this part matters), so it gets the three last backups. The Intel ports will not read it. Asus ports are fine and dandy. See with the Intel ports, I get the recognition sound, it pops up in USB and devices, sometimes even in disk management, but never have I been able to access it. It is a large drive, so it isn't exactly instant, but eventually it vanishes from devices because it spins down and turns off.
All my other stuff is USB2, but I think it is purely size related, because the ports work fine for every thing else that I have, all of which is smaller than 1TB. Did I mention that the Intel USB2 ports also won't read the drive? Fun times.

So the Intel driver doesn't work on Windows 8, but without it, my front panel USB3 will become instantly useless.

After much looking and getting mostly results about installing Windows 8 on a 3TB drive, I finally thought to myself, hell, this driver package has INF files. That's basically a universal installer. If I can alter it enough, I should be able to install it. I open the file and thought to myself, I am too tired for this, so instead, I turned to google and found that someone had already done this. Not only that, it is a longer process than I imagined.

Here is a legible guide based on a guide by a legend named ekko.

My 3TB drive is now recognised on all USB3 ports, Intel or Asus! The USB2 ports still don't recognise it, but that's OK.

It's probably some cheap 1T2R adapter. I'll have to look into more. In any case, I'd recommend the Intel NIC.

If you board has more than one USB 3.0 controller, the one I would use is Intel's.

I have the Gene, and just started playing with it a bit last night with my 2500K. Definably has a lot of features and is quite impressive. Can't wait to get an Ivy and some LN2 on this board.
I did have a problem trying to run an 8800 GTX+ on it though, actually tried two cards, two cables, two monitors and the only thing that it would recognize was the on board HDMI. I set it to PCI-E in the BIOS but still nothing. Any thoughts?

Thanks, both of you. I am trying to get used to all the settings while looking stuff up at the same time, so you guys just saved me some work.
Back to tweaking

Board did not come with a jumper for LN2 mode so might want to look for one ahead of time. If you don't have one let me know and I can send you some.
I am on BIOS 881 and seems to be pretty decent so far.

Just got my P8Z77-V Pro installed and everything is working perfectly. Will try to do some overclocking and report back later. I hear these things pretty much OC for you if you don't mind being at ~4.4ghz which is awesome. I would like to hit 4.6-4.8ghz with this 3770k I have in it. Going to be pretty nice coming from my i7 860 @ 3.7ghz!

Whaaaaaaaaat?

^Sorry to hear about that chip. Return it?

I just installed a 3770K on a P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3, but that board was up for sale and just found a buyer the day I got the chip, so now I need a board.

If I want to be back up today it looks like I have to go to Fry's and choose from the Sabertooth, P8Z77-V, or Z77-V Pro (or some MSI boards I've never heard of).

What is the Sabertooth intended for? It's got 8+4(+2) power phases and costs $20 more than the Z77 Pro which is 12+4 phase. I have no use for onboard devices, ports or whatever. I just want OC options. Go with the Pro, or is there more to the Sabertooth that I'm not seeing?

Anyone have any idea how to get stereo upmix when using 4 speakers on these Z77 boards? I saw video of an Asus rep saying it is possible and I can't seem to figure it out for myself and Google is of no help.

For pure Overclocking go with the Gene if they have it, otherwise the Pro should be good.
The Gene has more options then any board ever made. Expecially RAM profiles.

Sabertooth is for people who want extra tough components for longevity. I did some research and as a gamer and OCer the Sabertooth is not a very good board. The Pro has better voltage regulation (better for overclocking) and has better memory support (again better for overclocking). For the regular OCN overclocker it looks like the Asus P8Z77-V Pro board is the best choice and that is why I bough it.
