Asus P8Z77-V LX2 Motherboard Review

To test the Asus P8Z77-V LX2 motherboard, we paired it with an Intel Core i5 3570K processor and 8GB of 2133MHz memory from Patriot. We will be outlining the Asus P8Z77-V LX2 motherboard's performance with the Core i5 3570K CPU at its stock frequency of 3.4GHz (3.8GHz due to Asus' aggressive ‘Turbo' settings which are continuously active) and when overclocked to 4.7GHz.

We are also including the performance of lower- and upper- mid-range Z77 motherboards in the Asus P8Z77-V LK and Asus P8Z77-V. Benchmark data from an ASRock 990FX Extreme9 and FX8350-based AMD system is also included to highlight the performance of competing platforms.

All systems are kept as identical as possible to eliminate variables. All Z77 test systems are completely identical, with the exception of each motherboard that is used for testing. The only differences between the Z77 test systems and the AMD version are the CPU and motherboard.

  1. good deal but I like the gigabyte UD3, same price, sliglthy better looking IMO

  2. These are great boards for a cheap, powerful system, but I wonder about the reliability due to the power design on the PCB

  3. Great & cheap mobo… Im a lucky owner 🙂

    Theres a bad information on page 3 in Motherboard slots and connectors:

    1 x 8-pin ATX 12V Power connector(s) – on mobo is only a 4-pin connector…
