Nice motherboard with almost all the features from LGA1155, since it's one of the last version. I'm very satisfied. I recommended it for mid-high computer.

ASUS P8Z68-V Pro GEN3 Z68 LGA1155 ATX 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2 PCI B3 Motherboard
Cons:Can't think of anyMaybe just that the mosfet heatsinks give off a lot of heat

Pros:Solid qualitySo many features
Comment:
I'm coming from a S939 system so was a little worried I'd be lost with the new UEFI bios and such but it was really easy to set up and runs perfectly with 4x4gb ram. OC is very easy, had my 2600k at 4.5ghz without changing a thing.

ASUS P8Z68-V Pro GEN3 Z68 LGA1155 ATX 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2 PCI B3 Motherboard
Cons:- Some heatsinks are a tight fit- Disappointing blue tooth

Pros:- Lots of features- Future-proof
Comment:
A really good mobo. Lots of features like raid, sata III etc. Ready for Ivy Bridge and support for PCIe 3.0 means it will last. Great monitoring, EFI, and OC capabilities.The integrated bluetooth is disappointing, it doesn't turn on/connect to devices until the windows login screen. This means a bluetooth keyboard and mouse can't access any bios settings. My 4-year old Dell could do this so I'm a little bummed.

ASUS P8Z68-V Pro GEN3 Z68 LGA1155 ATX 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2 PCI B3 Motherboard
Cons:-SSD Issue with Marvell SATA 3 controller.

Pros:-Built in Bluetooth-Lots of SATA connections-Heat sinks not in the way of Noctua NH14
Comment:
It was easy to install. everything went smoothly, the only beef I had is the constant BSOD's I had in windows. I found out that the Marvell sata ports where to blame. If you Google MV91xx.sys, you'll find out about it. So I disabled the controller in the bios and connected my OCZ Agility 3 to the Intel SATA 3 connector. No BSOD and works smoothly. I just hope someone works on a fix.

ASUS P8Z68-V Pro GEN3 Z68 LGA1155 ATX 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2 PCI B3 Motherboard
Cons:none

Pros:SLI & a open PCIe 4x slot for a Dedicated Physx card.
Comment:
I like this Motherboard, So much options. Has enough room for one PCIe 1x, SLI video cards & Still a open 4X Full PCIe slot on top. USB 3.0 It makes my USB 2.0 devices faster then before. 2 Thumbs way up! I got that 2600K on it OC to 4.4GHz. It renders 1080p videos at the speed of watching it with the help of my GTX 550 ti OC video Card. Nice Motherboard Asus!

ASUS P8Z68-V Pro GEN3 Z68 LGA1155 ATX 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2 PCI B3 Motherboard
Cons:-no POST speaker or Display

Pros:-Feature rich-Compatibility with future Ivy Bridge Architecture-Easy to overclock with-USB 3.0 Controller and PCIe 3.0 Support-UEFI BIOS
Comment:
This is a very stable motherboard in comparison to my old nforce 750a which had a lot of frustrating moments.This motherboard is very feature rich with support for intel graphics (if you ever kill your Discrete card lol). With USB 3.0 and PCIe 3, you could extend the life of this board a little longer.UEFI is a nice touch that makes setup upon boot attractive. UEFI still retains the BIOS we all know in the "Advance" settings.The only Con i can think of with this card is the fact that it does not come with a POST speaker or display. Not sure if this is a standard omission in newer motherboards.Great Motherboard!

Cons:Price?

Pros:-USB 3.0-PCI-E 3.0-UEFI BIOS-Blutooth-eSATA-Lots of features included from Asus (OC, fan monitoring, etc...)
Comment:
Good motherboard that comes with features that helps to futureproof it. Great automatic overclocking settings, didn't have to put much effort into it. Expensive if you compare it feature-wise to a motherboard with almost similar features for AMD. Overall, excellent motherboard.

ASUS P8Z68-V Pro GEN3 Z68 LGA1155 ATX 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2 PCI B3 Motherboard
Cons:- Can't use PCIx3.0 for 2 cards. Will drop  to x8x8.

Pros:- Great over clocking- Really like new bios- Good diagnostics- Ivy Bridge compatible
Comment:
I really like the new bios and I found it pretty straight forward. OC needs getting used to but works great. Although I found the PCIx3.0 handling a bit disappointing. So if I want to crossfire my 7970 the MB will drop  to PCI 2.0 x16. Other than that it is great.

Cons:Not much of a con, but Im not a fan of asus' blue color scheme. I wish they offered a choice of colors

Pros:Big with plenty of spacing, the PCI slots are well placed for dual slot graphic cards, good to have integrated graphics because you never know when it can come in handy
Comment:
It takes time getting used to the new bios but its easy to OCNice features and rather complete set of connections detailed instructions as per usual

Pros:PerformanceBIOSOverclockingNice Layout and looks
Comment:
My first non ROG motherboard from ASUS in some time, and it doesn't disappoint. Out of the box stability was great, overclocking was very easy. It's nice to have an ample amount of fan headers, something I had noticed I was missing from non ROG boards but this one just had enough. Can't go wrong with this board imo.

Cons:Nothing so far especially if you get the right motherboard

Pros:Great motherboard with a ton of features
Comment:
Had a DOA on the first one I purchased, but that Is expected. NCIX sent me a new one, but was almost two weeks process From getting my board, not a con for the board, just wasn't fun waiting around & dealing again with Purolator delivery Courier The new replacement seems to be working fine I would highly recommend this product To a friend. This is my first ASUS motherboard Build Because I usually use Gigabyte motherboards for my other Build

Cons:Price can be high if you aren't making use of most of the features, or plan to do so in the near future.

Pros:Great motherboard. Plenty of features, provides everything i need.The auto over-clocking works surprisingly well.
Comment:
I'm loving this motherboard. Looks great and performs well. Running an i7-2600k at 4.5Ghz with very little effort. The pci-e 3.0 slots add an arguable amount of future proofing, but for such a small price difference it's well worth it.

Cons:None really.

Pros:Great Looks, awesome quality, like there OC button/software better then one button OC by MSI or Gigabyte. Gen 3 Compatible.
Comment:
This a great motherboard, like the looks and one of the best value motherboard for it performance, and it great for overclocking RAM,PCI slots, CPU, and the SATA port it self. Their TPU is awesome it actually better then the MSI or Gigabyte one button OC. the value of the Motherboard is also a great deal, match with a I5 2500k, I7 2600k or even the new I7 2700k processor you will get unmatched performance at that price point, especially the 2700k.

Pros:Very easy to OCUEFI bios is great
Comment:
Unfortunately UEFI and GPT partitions are not compatible with WHS2011 (my backup solution) Would have been nice to know this before so I could have tried installing using MBR but oh well I really should do a fresh install every so often to keep things fast anyway...Really like the BIOS on this MB very easy to use and friendly.

Pros:I'm a computer total noob, first time building a computer, 99% of the things worked for me
Comment:
My chasis is the Antec dark fleet. The front panel cable was a "ground d- d+ +5V" plug thingy. It melted when I tried to plug into the speaker

All the goodness of the very popular P8Z68-V Pro but with PCI-E 3.0 support, making it even more attractive for future Ivy Bridge use. Running a 2500k at 4.8GHz with very little effort.
