ASUS P8Z68-V LX Z68 LGA1155 ATX 2PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 DDR3 SATA3 USB3.0 Audio Video CrossFire Motherboard
Cons:Could use maybe 2 more USB slots for people like me.Power delivery can be a little off
Pros:Extremely cheap alternative for gamingNo BS. Enough interface for a most people, no extras. Comment:
This basically does the job, but I've had trouble with my overclock. Maybe that's just me, some functions are missing from the BIOS, and it (seems) to have some issues with high voltages. This isn't a big deal though because it's by no means an "enthusiast" board, but oh well. Overall a great product. It makes me think I should perhaps spend less on my motherboard when options like this are on the market. |

ASUS P8Z68-V LX Z68 LGA1155 ATX 2PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 DDR3 SATA3 USB3.0 Audio Video CrossFire Motherboard
Cons:Bought 3 of these for identical machines, one of them did not have a working pci-e 16 lane.Cannot be used to overclock too high.
Pros:Cheap, good enough if you arent over clocking. Comment:
Good enough for a cheap mobo.The bios has issues where you cannot set a voltage, instead its automatic and you can increase or decrease this by increments.This issue made high overclocks nearly impossible without insane temperatures. I got 67 degrees on prime 95 at 4.2ghz on antec 620.Voltage was auto regulated to 1.4v which is way over kill. Setting a decrement on voltage made BSODs when the processor was not operating because it went below 0.9v required for the CPU to idle.The motherboard also likes to squeak at low usage(chokes), had to disable speedstep so it doesnt throttle down and use chokes. This happened on 2/3 of the mobos. |
Only SATA cables/backplate are included in the box, 2 sata3 ports and no floppy or USB3 headers for newer cases. A viable option for an inexpensive upgrade to an existing case or a newer budget pc. Might want to spend a little bit more on a higher end board if you're sinking money into a completely new pc though.
