MSI Z77A-G45 ATX LGA1155 Z77 DDR3 3PCI-E16 4PCI-E1 SATA3 DVI HDMI VGA DX11 USB3.0 Motherboard
Cons:had to change settings to recognize a 1866 ram, originally recognized it as 1333. The ram was on msi memory support list!MB SATA connectors should be vertical instead of horizontal, had to modify my case in order to access them.
Pros:solid board |

Cons:Not at all sure this is the board's problem -I've got an IvyBridge i5-3570K on the board, 2x4GB Corsair DIMMs, Sapphire 7750 Ultimate, Kingston HyperX3 SDD. Machine sounds like it's POSTing/booting OK, except I get no video out from the DVI or HDMI ports on either 7750 or mobo. Haven't tried the mobo VGA port yet, had to dig for a cable. Not going to dock the rating for that - will post an updated review once I have more concrete data.
Pros:Nice looking board; good packaging, clean arrangement.Handy pin-blocks for front-panel switch/LED connectors. BRILLIANT! Don't know why no one did this before. Eliminates one of those small but inevitable annoyances with installing a new mobo. Comment:
Other word on the web has been quite positive for this board, so I'm hopeful that I just have an odd config combo... will try MSI support later if I can't get things to work by pulling the 7750. |
don't install any of the drivers, utilities from the msi CD,first go to intel website, then go to msi website to download the latest versions.like the BIOS, no more old school simple blue menu.one of the cheapest 1155 socket MB, got even $20 MIR
