[thanossapiens]

Hi, i am deciding between botherboards and i have neared my choises to:
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
and
MSI Z77A-GD55
The prices are nearly the same.Which one would be the best to be paired with an i5-3570k,CM HAF 932, CM HYPER 212 EVO?
Thanks!!

They are all pretty good boards. However, lately with the quality and builds of the ASRock mobo's, I'd probably stick with them personally. Either way; I doubt you can go wrong with any of the three.

yeah, im leaning towards ASRock as well
i have heard that they are smaller than the normal size...is this likely to cause any problems??

+1^ the Asrock board should be the one you go for. As for size don't worry about it....

 

[steddora]

Yeah, no worries about that. It actually gives you a little more room to work around it. I love my P67 Extreme 6 and from my last ASRock board from 2002-2004 era; it's LEAPS and BOUNDS better. I would say this is probably one of the highest quality boards I've ever worked with next to Intel server platforms.

Are you aiming for overclocking?

Are you aiming for overclocking?

yes...i am thinking about 4.3-4.4ghz with this cooler

That ASROCK extreme 4 will def handle your OC goal and then some. Heck my ASROCK Z77 Pro3 handles 4.5Ghz on my i5-3570k on a H60 in push/pull.
