ASRock Z77E-ITX Motherboard Review

Henry Butt July 19, 2012 Featured Announcement, Motherboard

Rating: 9.5.

We have tested a number of products from ASRock over the past couple of years and none of them have failed to impress.  It's clear that they are gunning for the longer established brands such as Asus and Gigabyte and they now produce a full range of motherboards targeted at a wide range of audiences including budget focused users and keen overclockers.

Today we are going to look at the ASRock Z77E-ITX motherboard, which is designed for those looking to build a powerful but compact system. It boasts an impressive specification which includes premium gold capacitors and an built in wireless card.  We look forward to seeing how it fares in our tests.

We will be using an Intel Core  i7-3770K for our tests today.

KitGuru Games: Ubisoft Has No Vision And Its Games Lack Identity

Known for their middle-of-the-road output, Ubisoft has shown a commitment to making sweeping changes to its games post-launch. Unfortunately, the publisher appears to have neither the vision – nor the identity – in order to elevate its titles beyond just being “another Ubisoft game.”

    I used one of these boards recently. well not the same board, but an asrock Z77 board and the fact they put in all those automatic overclocking features is better than anyone elses. I dont think ASUS do that do they? you are expected to have good knowledge of the hardware to get good boosts.

    ASROCK are in many ways leading the path IMO.
