Some people might see me asking a comparison of some boards,but after increase of budget i got 2 options.Asrock OC formula and Deluxe.
Things i like about the deluxe:
Got that plx thinggy (now i only have one graphics card)
Wifi and 2 ethernet( using the wifi only)
Things i like about the asrock:
A bit cheaper
More sata ports for futureproofing
Can watercool and active cool the mosfets thinggy
Looks nice.
I have a crappy case(i always focus on components and ignore case so i just get a random cheapass case)--the flimsy Powerlogic Futura 220.i know it cannot fit the asrock,but the board gives free stands so i can put it on a table and chuck that case into somewhere.that case looks horrible anyways and i already threw away the front panel lolz.
Thanks in advance.

You are probably confusing two different PLX chips. The one on Deluxe splits PCI-E x1 to several. It's not CPU lane splitter like on G1 Sniper 3 that allows 4-way SLI.

OC Formula is overall a more balanced board for its price, and Deluxe hardly worth its money, Other boards to consider are UP4/UD5H/UP5/G1 Sniper 3, and MSI Z77 MPower.

In that case maybe... but P8Z77-V Pro isn't much worse, and probably much cheaper? How much are Gigabyte's UD4H/UD5H/UP4, or UP5?

Only up5th after ud3h which is out of budget.if i can get that i really rather spend a bit more on the P8Z77 WS.

UD3H is a decent board if you can be satisfied with its features.

How much for MSI Mpower?

Otherwise, get OC Formula unless you prefer to pay little more mainly for WiFi.

Edit again the Sabertooth adds into the list at 392$

MSI GD55 and up are decent boards but in your case everything comes down to the price...

Most ASRock Z77 boards have voltage reporting issues but other than that Fatal1ty series are good.

Sabertooth Z77 isn't really worth it.

Since prices for boards that were suggested so far are so similar, pick whichever you like the most, I guess.

Is a maximus v formula at 459$ worth it?thx

And 487$ for maximus iv extreme z.

giggitygoebbels

Discussion Starter · #15 · Feb 27, 2013

Then i guess i will go with the maximus iv extreme-z.any rejections welcome.

What's the goal for this build? No point buying Extreme unless you triple SLI. It's also on the older Z68 chipset, and those boards usually post longer.

If all you need is few SATA ports, good OC and dual-GPU support get something like UD3H, Asus P8Z77-V and similar. Or get the cheapest out of what you've listed so far which seems to be OC Formula.

Don't you experience any BSODs with PCI-E ssd? Last time I've heard of them people had a ton of problems.

In any case all these boards will be equally good for that unless you also plan to SLI.

The maximus v formula is a fantastic board.

I have a graphic card,and a pcie ssd(i forgot the brand, it is 500gb if i am not wrong).i am getting at least 2 in future without upgrading to lga1150.maximus v formula or iv extremez?i dont mind the slowness of z68 if any.however the maximus v formula is cheaper than p8z77-v deluxe in newegg but more expensive in singapore by like 50$ so i dont think i will get it.
