The new 3770k is clearly very efficient at reference clock speeds, demanding 27 watts less than the same system with the 2700k installed. The AMD FX8150 Black Edition is a power hog, demanding 242 watts.
Great looking motherboard. so many choices though, its slightly overwhelming when it comes to specificing a new system
Good board, I think i prefer the sabretooth however, i love that tuf shield idea.
I dont know, im sold on the ASROCK board you guys reviewed monday, looks better than either ASUS board this week. very nice indeed.
good review though, but im going to try asrock for my next system
The Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe supports Crossfire & SLI
