MSI Z77 GD65 Ivy Preview

[ThatBattlefieldGuy]

The MSI Z77A-GD65 is a sharp looking board. I wouldn't base a purchase on the look, but the blue and black color combination is sharp. The all black look is overdone lately, and while red and black looks good. The blue and black color combination is much more subtle and less contrasting, but still looks great. The overall layout of the MSI Z77A-GD65 is quite good. The Easy Button 3 onboard buttons are out in the open and easy to access even inside a PC case, the SATA ports and SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports all come out parallel to the PCB so it will make cable management a breeze.

Loving the black and blue that's exactly what I'm looking for in my next build. Will have to see how it performs next month!

That's a super tidy looking board, i really like it. Hopefully it'll be a performer too.

If this board was orange instead of blue...

Looks nice, decent PCI-E layout too, something I hated on the MSI P67 boards.

Dutch PC hardware retailers are already selling these. Delivery within 24 hours, or you can just pick one up at your local shop.

Same goes for the GD45 and GD55 by the way. The Asrock Z77 extreme-4 is also in stock already. I guess there's no official launch date for these? ;p

Rumour is Z77 motherboards will be released April 8th, which was the the release date of Ivy Bridge CPU's aswell, untill they (most likely, nobody knows 100% sure) got delayed.

It depends on where you are, though. In the Netherlands, you can get one of these with 24-hour shipping at most retailers.

I heard Ivy cpu's will be out 28th of April.

I vote green, but heck I don't need a new mobo yet !

I can't wait for these new boards to get in the UK, saw a sneak peak on Aria when they were updating the site and they look really nice, I like the black and blue, would look slick in a nzxt phantom white and some blue vengance ram.
