Hey guys - I've got a question. I'm comparing two H77 boards - this ASUS one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131841

and this ASRock:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157311

The ASUS is ten more dollars, but I'm not sure what features it has. I notice that the ASUS board has Virtu MVP and the ASrock one does not. Is that worth ten bucks? And when will that Zotac H77 ITX board be coming to the US?

Thanks guys,

If you want to use quicksync and the onboard with the discrete, then yes the 10$ is worth it.

Personally,

I have not yet installed Virtu, even though my computer supports it.

I'm wondering - if I have a CPU that doesn't support overclocking (an i5-3450) is getting a Z77 ITX MB worth the extra cost? This board is for a mini-ITX gaming build.

I personally don't think so. The whole point of the awesomeness of the Z77-I Deluxe is the Digi+ VRM, which quickly becomes pointless if you're using a locked chip. The board has other good features, but there's probably a cheaper board that has WiFi, such as a Zotac.

If it is anything like their Z68 ITX then I wouldn't touch the Zotac Z77 with a 10m ugly pole, go for a cheaper H77 variant if there is no OCing involved.

Do you not like the way it looks or is it a bad board?

I wouldn't say it's a bad board as such, but it's not really that good either. Zotac is terrible with BIOS updates too, with their Z68 mITX board (I think), people's boards were bricked by a BIOS update. I'd take the ASRock/ASUS Z77/H77 mITX boards over Zotac's boards any day of the week.

Ah okay, that's lucky, because I nearly went with the Zotac over my ECS. I was hesitant to buy an ECS board but I'm actually really happy with it biggrin.gif
