Can't go wrong with Asus, MSI or Gigabyte, they are equally as good as each other in my opinion.

EVGA are a bit expensive and don't usually offer the features the others have, Asrock boards are ok but they seem to be a bit a hit and miss with reliability and overclocking, Intel boards aren't know for being good. I haven't read anything about Zotac boards so I don't now whether they are worth recomending or not.

 

[Nemesis379]

I'm pretty sure Zotac will have an micro-itx motherboard coming out sometime soon.

I'll most likely be waiting until Haswell to do a full upgrade, currently saving up for a healthy GPU upgrade

If I will do an upgrade I will go for asus, gigabyte or msi, but my p8p67deluxe is still good motherboard so I think that there is no point for me to change it just becouse z77 been released.

I like the look of sabertooth z77 but it doesnt have all the features that I want from the motherboard.

For me it's asus and i was thinking of going for the maximus v gene as this should help me get started at over clocking, still wondering how useful the mPCIe Combo expansion card is thou.

If I upgrade to any Z77 motherboard it will probably be the Asus Z77 sabertooth and the only reason I would upgrade is because of aesthetics it would look awesome in my rig I like my MSI board but it just doesn't look good with my NH D14

 

[TheOneHalf]

IF I upgrade (which I have no reaosn to really I have a Z68 GEN 3 board with PCIe 3.0 and such there would be only one feature on the mobo that gets added that I dont need because I have an SSD)

then I go with Asus probably their Maximus V board which isnt out yet.

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

I would go with ASUS, but I have a Gen3 Z68, so I have no reason to upgrade.

 

[magicc8ball]

I think I will be going with Asus but we will see.

 

[SieB]

Is it me or has the title of this thread changed from "what Z77 manufacture to go with?" to what it says now?

Just wondering because i'm going mad if it didn't

 

[Nemesis379]

You sir, are going mad

.

 

[SieB]

You sir, are going mad

Lol, I could of sworn it said "which Z77 motherboard manufacturer to go with?" Which is why I made my first post in this thread.

Time for a trip to the doctors

SieB I think that is just you mate

I think I'm turning into an MSI fan, having a TF II HAWK graphics card already and now I have my eyes set on the GD65 - I originally planned for a GD55 but got the £25 cash back so thought why not?

Not really a fan of Gigabyte at the moment, and whilst the special "thermal armour" on the Sabertooth does look fancy, I don't think I need it. Besides, anything looks cooler than my current GA-X58-UD3R.

Well I said I would never use another Gigabyte board, but looking at the spec's for them I think Gigabyte is going to be my only option.

All the board's that I have seen up to now, will only do dual card's at 8x-8x where as the Gigabyte will do dual card's at 16x-16x or triple/quad at 8x-8x-8x/8x.

 

[Calibretto]

I just noticed G1 Sniper 3 is not XL-ATX

That combined with the heatsinks not being gun bits has me convinced

 

[SnW]

I hope Asus makes a "Sabertooth"

then i can swap my p67 one
