ASRock Extreme4 vs P8Z77 LE Plus

[MediaMind]

Curious between the two. Saw it on the homepage but also on a few other places and I've been curious about it. My usage: I7 3770K with a little overclocking. How is the power delivery between the two? Which is better for performance? I've had the P8Z77-vPro before and it was pretty good. For some reason I couldn't reach 4.0GHz on my last build so Idk if it was the motherboard or the CPU. Thanks

Unsure of the P8Z77 LE Plus, but the ASRock Extreme4/6 will indeed help you reach 4.0Ghz+. Of course not all chips/boards are created equal, but 99% of 3570k/3770k's are able to attain 4.0Ghz.

My vote goes to the ASRock boards

ASRock Z77 Extreme 4, I have a 2500k on mine, with I run 4.5 24/7 I have it stable 2 hours prime at 5.0 and have had it as high as 5.2 on air.

Yep, these SB's/IB's can reach their max 24/7 OC on relatively cheap boards.
Power delivery is not critical, unless you go extreme cooling.

Any board from Gigabyte, Asrock, Asus on the $120/$130 range will serve you well.

Sweet.. ASRock it is than. I liked the quality of my former P8Z77-vPro board, I've never had anything from ASRock but its reviews are great

You will like the ASRock Extreme 4/6/. The boards are not so important like has been said because of the multiplier overclocking with the k CPU's and the ASRock has plenty of extra voltage from the VRM for overclocking.

Well, I actually had 2 of them (z68 Fatality Pro and z77 Fatality pro-m) and loved them

I went on the tech chat a few times to get some info regarding LLC, bios chip... and the techies have always been helpful, professional and knowledgeable.
