Isn't the Deluxe/non-Deluxe the Z77H2-A2XAs such, there is a "Deluxe" version of the Z77H2-AX
I was under the impression that the H2-AX was equipped with a PEX8747 bridge chip. The accompanying picture is certainly showing three PCI-E x16 slots -presumeably the third slot is wired for x8 mechanical ( x16 / x16 / NC or x16 / x8/ x8). This is the board in question I take it?...there are also two PCIe x1 slots and a Mini PCIe x1 slot, as well as two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots. ECS doesn't include a third PCIe x4 slot for triple graphics cards.
Does the Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H-WB really have that much less power loss to run 0.3v lower than the Asrock and Intel? if so this will be great for Ivy Bridge as they will run hotter then the Sandy Bridges do.
No Asus board in the review?
I just bought one on Newegg and got it yesterday, and so far, it's an extremely solid board. Can't really see it getting much better.
Power consumption and performance per watt/MHz.Any reason why someone like me should upgrade?
Above you can see that the board insisted on setting the base clock to 1000MHz rather than 100MHz (it was actually set to 100MHz, the board just misreported this).
Am I confused here on the ECS board...
For the BIOS you said.
The picture shows the option as "CPU Frequency (1/100MHz)". Which is set to 10000. 10000/100 is 100MHz not 1000MHz. Or am I missing something?
my thoughts too...Motherboards designed for the mainstream CPUs at $200+?
