After 2 weeks of intense testing I had to admit - this board is really a nice piece of hardware
Summary:
The Z77X is a very good OC-motherboard with a load of features and all important tweaking options. The buttons on the board come in very handy in many situations.
The equipment in the box contains everything you need, even for allday use you will get everything you need:
10x SATA, 10x USB 3.0, 2x Gbit LAN, 4x PCI-E with big PLX, all outputs for internal GPU, "ok" onboard sound, WiFi / BlueTooth, cables and interesting software suite - nothing you would miss, or? (did I hear a "firewire" - srsly...whaz this )
Several 7 GHZ shots and records from the HQ show the potential of the board, even though we know a huge part comes from the CPUs themselves.
The bios (UEFI, never will get used to the term) is quickly prepared for the first runs. The mem-overclocking past DDR3-2700 was a bit difficult (maybe harder subtimings compared to last time tested G1 Sniper 3 which did 2720 easy).
But the board is very good handling wrong settings and will mostly reboot fine after turning of a couple of times.
You get bios updates and special OC bios so there will always be something to test with this board...
In direct comparison to the G1 Sniper 3 it has a little advantage most of the time and seemed somehow brutally fast in 32m.

5 GHZ easy air
LN2 and blowing sh1t up - sooooon...
