This is an awesome motherboard for you guys that are waiting for the Ivy Bridge chipset. I am buying one, and putting my 2700K in it until the chips for the Ivy Bridge are released, I am going to use an H-80 Corsair Cooler, and a Silverstone Midtower Case.

Great review by the way Jim. Let me know how you fare if you put it in a case, I think you use a test bed dont you?

I was going to get a Danger Den Torture Rack but I have to use up all the cases I have, I dont even like some of them. The only cases I really like are the Corsair Cases and this one mid tower from Silverstone. Amazon.com: SilverStone FT01B Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Uni-Body Computer Case - Retail (Black): Electronics This is the one I will use for the Z77 build.

That case is kind of UGLY, you should check out some of the new cases from BitFenix

I happen to like it, if everyone liked the same cases we wouldnt have a forum. But I will check out BitFennix just for you Stan. Thanks for the recommendation.

Good review Jim. That board looks good to me. You only get PCI-E 3.0 with Gen-3 CPU's that are not out yet?

As I understand. Ivybridge is released today or tommorrow. Not if full force but they will be more readily available near June. Intel held off due to OEM and retail overstocks on older gen processors.
