Hey Guys,
I currently have the Intel DP67BG motherboard listed in my system specs, however Intel messed up overclocking support when they enabled Ivy Bridge compatibility, and as such it means that I can't overclock my 2500K, as as soon as the processor exceeds a certain level of current, the board resets the CPU to stock.
On top of this, the top PCIe x16 slot doesn't work, so I'm running on the second x16 slot, limited to 8x electrically.
So I wish to upgrade the board.
Now, when I had a 2700k, I had a P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 and quite liked that board, and have in fact found one brand new on Amazon for just under £100, whereas the newer P8Z77-V PRO I'm also interested in is £160, is it worth the extra £60? I realise that Z77 brings native USB3 and that board brings extra features such as onboard WiFi, LucidLogix Virtu MVP, but is it worth it?
Also, I'm open to other suggestions!
