MSI ZH77A-G43 Detailed
Apart from other Z77 chipset-based models that have been exhaustively covered in the past, MSI is working on a media-oriented ATX LGA1155 motherboard based on the H77 chipset, the ZH77A-G43. Why MSI added a "Z" in the model name beats us. The LGA1155 socket is powered by a simple 5-phase VRM. MSI is kind enough to provide passive cooling for the entire CPU VRM area. The CPU is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots, providing dual-channel DDR3 support.
Expansion slots include one PCI-Express 3.0 x16 (wired to the CPU), one PCI-Express 2.0 x16 (electrical x4, wired to the PCH), two PCI-Express 2.0 x1, and three legacy PCI slots. PCI slots are still in good demand by media-professionals who need them for pro-grade sound production cards. Storage connectivity includes two SATA 6 Gb/s, and four SATA 3 Gb/s. All four USB 3.0 ports on this board (two on the rear-panel, two via header) are provided by the H77 PCH. HDMI, DVI, and D-Sub form the display IO. To top it off, you get 8-channel HD audio with THX TruStudio Pro support, and gigabit Ethernet. Expect a value price-point. http://www.techpowerup.com/img/12-03-05/53a_thm.jpg Source: Lab501.ro |
1 problem, you're either never using Crossfire of SLI. Or you're only using 2 HDDs and SLI/Crossfire.

The second slot is electrical x4 anyway so this isn't a crossfire/SLi board.

Looks ok, i won't recommand this for Overclocking (maybe just a stock voltage overclocking). This series MSI seems to bring a lot more high-end features to lower markets.
