MSI Z77A-GD80 with Thunderbolt @ PC Perspective
“Today we are taking a look at MSI’s flagship Z77 motherboard, the Z77A-GD80. Beyond being the GD80 SKU, which for several generations now has been given MSI’s premiere options, this GD80 in particular is an innovative board. This is due to the Z77A-GD80 being the first Windows motherboard that was certified for Intel’s Thunderbolt technology.”

“So first off the FM2-A85XA-G65 is built using MSI’s famous Military Class III standard capacitors and chokes, which apart from longevity also ensures system stability while overclocking the APU. These work in tandem with the digital PWM controller which helps maintain system voltage control to various components, especially the APU itself.”
ASUS Maximus V Extreme @ Bjorn3D
“ASUS has some amazing Z77 offerings especially in the ROG lineup. We have already looked at the Maximus V Gene and the Maximus V Formula, both of which were amazing overclockers with loads of features. Today we have the Extreme variant which is the very top model for the ASUS ROG lineup. It carries many features such as the OCKey and VGA Hotwire.”
