Z77 ASRock Mobos!?

[yougotjaked]

So I was on the ASRock website updating some drivers for my Z68 Extreme3 Gen3, and I noticed some (by some a mean a lot!) new boards! I'm not sure how long they've been up, but I though I'd alert you guys.

Thanks for the links! Those Gigabyte boards look pretty awesome! Ivy Bridge is getting more and more temping, but I'm trying to keep myself from upgrading until the next socket (isn't it going to be called Haswell or something like that?)

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Yeah Haswell will be next year. The 2600K will still be a strong processor for a few years especially overclocked. I will probably wait for Haswell or Broadwell ( 2014 ) before even thinking about upgrading.

Keep in mind both these MOBO, more than likely, and for sure the Ivy Bridge is delayed now until June/July '12.

Yeah I'm probably going to upgrade when I feel it is worth the money. If the performance isn't that great, then I'll probably wait until the 2600k becomes obsolete

Ivy Bridge is delayed again!? Haha good thing I decided to go Sandy Bridge and not wait for it; I would've been waiting forever!

 

[jaquith]

One of many delay stories -http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Intel-Ivy-Bridge-Delay-Confirmed-cpu-processor,14816.html

I've been waiting for the nVidia GTX 600 series since X79's release...

Keep in mind that some of the Asrock Z77's are having issues with the PCI-e slots not recognizing the cards.

I bought a Z77 Pro4 a few days ago and I can't get the display to work with GPU card in it but, it works fine running off the on-chip GPU in my 3750k?

I have seen a number of post with the same issues but, have yet to see a fix for the problem. I am returning the MB tomorrow. It sucks because I liked the features and price.

I just put together a system with a Pro4 and everything works great, including the graphics card.

Did you try flashing your BIOS with the latest revision from ASRock? I did that first thing after powering it up, so maybe that is why.

The one I replied to was three weeks. It was still on the first page. Hardly thread necromancy.
