Today we are going to take a look at one of Corsair’s latest solid state drives, the Force LX 512 GB. This is targeted at the mainstream enthusiast audience, seeking to deliver a good balance between cost and performance.

With the price of NAND having come down significantly over the past few years, solid state drives are starting to reach prices which are affordable to the masses. This makes it the perfect time for Corsair to launch the Force LX range of mainstream drives alongside their more established performance ranges.

It’s worth noting, before we start looking at the Corsair Force LX 512 GB in more detail, that this drive is available in 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB flavours and that the claimed write performance of each capacity is different.

Corsair claim that all of the drives offer sequential read speed up to 560 MB/s, and the claimed sequential read speeds for the 512 GB, 256 GB and 128 GB models are 450 MB/s, 300 MB/s and 150 MB/s respectively.

Asus produce a comprehensive range of motherboards which spans the performance and budget friendly ends of the market.  We have already looked at some of their high performance Z77 motherboards including the Sabertooth Z77 and Republic of Gamers Maximus V Z77  Gene which are designed for users who want the ultimate performance.  So we thought it was about time we got hold of one of their more cost effective motherboards to see how it fares.

Today we are going to look at the Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard which is designed for users who are looking to build a powerful Z77 without breaking the bank.  Even though the specification list isn't peppered with overclocking features, we are going to see how far we can push the Intel i7-3770K processor.

We are going to compare it to the much better featured, more expensive ASRock Z77 Extreme6 motherboard in our tests to give us a clearer idea of where Asus have potentially compromised to achieve such an affordable price point.

Key Features

  • DIGI+ VRM Digital Power Design.
  • USB3.0 Boost – Faster USB3.0 Transmission with UASP (170%).
  • Network iControl.
  • LucidLogix Virtu Universal MVP.
  • GPU Boost.
