    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.

    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?
