ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional: Although this is a fancy pro gamer-branded board, the price tag doesn’t seem to be inflated by it; considering what you get, $229.99 isn’t a bad deal at all, especially given the somewhat compelling extra Fatal1ty-branded features. The Z77 Pro can handle big-time graphics with quad-SLI/CrossFireX support, and we like the dual-LAN with teaming capability as well. It’s a little light on ports, with just six SATA ports and six USB ports (eight USB if you count the front header), although they’re all next-generation SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0, respectively. The board's also got an excellent UEFI and it was a decent overclocker. If you're looking to build an Intel-based system for gaming, the ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro is a great option.
Anyone got a no-K CPU and a supported mobo to try out?我要买GT-R!;68793089 said:Just to check. With no-k oc, it means that speedstep is disabled and the proc will be running at the oc'd clock speed 24/7 right?
Consider DIY your own mounting by using better backplates cos afaik all the AIO so called 'backplates' are soft plastic pieces prone to rapid wear and tear and does not really make the block mounting rigid enough for proper contact pressure.
Basically, you will need a few items like a solid metal LGA1155-1156 backplate eg. from Noctua/Thermalright, 4 x M3/4 screws & wingnuts +/- tension springs (recommended).
You can re-use the stock metal AIO top mounting bracket like what I did here on my Kuhler 920 test rig.
