Z77 boards are out!

[confish21]

Im planning on building a 700ish build with ivy bridge in a few weeks....

Is there really any difference between these 2 boards or is it just marketing bs.

"Supported CPU Technologies
Turbo Boost Technology 2.0" umm, they both support it right?


Still gonna wait for TH review's and Newegg reviews. Just wanted to clear this up.

Thx!

even if you already have a nice sandy bridge processor you might want to get one of these just for the virtu MVP. if you dont know what that is check out anandtech.com they have a good explanation of how it works. but in short its v-sync done right.

Ordered ASUS P8Z77-V Pro LGA1155 Z77 for my new Ivy Bridge build through NCIX.

hmm toms review had to use a sandy bridge cpu... not really sold on z77 really. Hopefully once IB is out something will be mentioned about this. I thought there was something magical with IB and a z77 loool. idk?

z68's are still great boards... the wait continues... sigh.
