The former problem was crucial for the new board. I called, and I was in demand this ASUS P8Z77-V LX Board recommended the IT professional. Then it was forgotten. When I had the money to do so, I bought my board right in the mail order company for 70. For this I have 50 invested in a proper soundcard.
What hardware is connected to the board:
-Intel i5 quad-core LGA1155 2320 4x3,00GhZ
-Arctic Freezer 13 CPU Cooler
-Asus GTX 650 2GB GDDR5 graphics card
-Creative Sound Blaster Recon 3D sound card
The board I have packed in anti-static bag to get. 2 new S-ATA cables were also there that have been installed directly. Red cable in black and blue Setup simply did not fit. Since this is my first ATX board is, and I had previously only mini-ATX or uATX boards, was the installation somewhat difficult. Built it in a Sharkoon VS3-S chassis that I have somewhat pimped.
Drive and hard drive I've used both via the included S-ATA III cable to the S-ATA III port connected. my 2x2GB RAM I have running in dual channel and built to provide the highest performance, plugged the GTX650 very top of the CPU 16x PCI neighbor port. Unfortunately, the Recon3D sound card requires a PCIe 1x port. Therefore, it is right on the graphics card. At first I was skeptical, because the graphics card could interfere with the sound card, but it was not like that.
The installation of the cooler was also simple. This time the fan was even able to stay on the cooling block, there was enough space between RAM and CPU. There were problems again when the front panel has been connected, but the lies simply googling.
Conclusion: A great board for gaming. All drivers are on a CD case, and the OS (Win7 64-bit) could be without reinstalling simply adopted. After installing the drivers, everything went smoothly. Through the better chipset and the sound card, I also get a lot more FPS graphics card and CPU out. the Z77 chipset is a very good chipset in gaming, so I have decided for this board.
On the whole, a good ATX board, with plenty of power, plenty of space and at a good price. Would buy again!
