ASUS P8Z77-V Intel Z77 Express LGA 1155
Intel Z77 Express Chipset »Introduction

A few weeks ago we took a look at an ASUS ROG product, the ASUS Maximus V Gene, yet the Republic Of Gamers line-up isn't all that ASUS has to offer, so today we take a look at a more affordable option from ASUS, the ASUS P8Z77-V. Built from within the "mainstream" product line, the ASUS P8Z77-V is full of features, including customizable fan controls and WiFi connectivity, as well as power saving features boasting the ability to lower power consumption by half. With more affordable pricing, a different color scheme, and slightly different features, the ASUS P8Z77-V is quite the departure from what is offered by the Republic Of Gamers line-up, but does it really pale in comparison? We find out.
