Some one wrote that if you use the software bundle that comes with the mb (extreme 4) it will install zynga games, if you uninstall it, it will install next time it auto updates

Any experince with that?

erocker · Aug 31, 2013

No, that didn't happen with my Extreme 4.

How do i know if i need a socket 1155 gen 1 to update bios?

How important is minimum 10 phase power and 8 pin atx for the cpu?

I would go for 4.0 ghz if it's possible

Maybe give Asus a chance?
Asus P8Z77-V £128.32
Asus P8Z77-V LK £105

my price limit in £ is 95 (i want to stay under 100£ , not just 99£)

I am also considering this http://www.amazon.co_uk/dp/B007R21KBC/?tag=tec053-21

Even when the price is 116£ with out delivery on amazon it's 92£ in demark with delivery, but it's only got 4 pin atx for the cpu and dosn't it need another heatsink for the.... i think it's the mosfeet, next to the 4 pin atx and the blue heatsink if i am gonna oc or does it matter since i can't go past 4.0 ghz since it's not a k cpu (that shouldn't be a problem since it's already fast at stock speed)

Is it only on z68 mb that you might need a sandy bridge cpu (which i don't have) to update bios so you could use a ivy bridge cpu?

gasolin · Sep 1, 2013

Impressive a Asrock Z77 extreme costs 93£ with delivery in denmark, on amazon nowhere i can get it with delivery for under 100£

Do i need a sandy bridge cpu to upgrade bios to support ivy bridge cpu if i buy a Asrock Z77 extreme 3 or a Gigabyte Z77X-D3H?
