platform from Intel the z77 chipset supporting not only second generation that is sandybridge core I3 Core i5 and core i7 processors but also third generation processor so that is code named ivybridge so these are all these 77 boards have the following traits in common actually I'm going to stick with what all ausi 77 boards have because not all of them have things like the Dual intelligent processors that is for Energy Efficiency or for performance as well as their smart Digi plus which is their eighth generation of digital vrm so they are all PCIe 3.0 ready they all have support for Crossfire X and then the certified boards have support for NVIDIA SLI okay second 22/32 NM processor support so that is uh second and third generation processors virtue MVP this is really cool virtue MVP actually has a number of need effects so one is it can actually boost your performance two is it can reduce tearing in scenarios where your frame rate goes above the actual refresh rate of the Monitor and finally it no longer requires you to plug the cable into a specific Outlet in order to switch between D mode and IM mode so you can make use of that quicksync technology on the CPU which allows you to quickly code video without sacrificing gaming performance okay moving on down we've got Intel smart response technology which allows you to use an SSD as a cache to uh boost up the performance of your boot drive as well as moving over here aha this is awesome USB BIOS flashback easy BIOS flashback this is a killer feature because basically it allows you to no matter what you do to your motherboard recover it quickly and easily just by loading a iOS file onto a USB drive throwing it in the back of the board and pressing you know what I'm just going to show you guys pressing the where'd it go yeah I found it guys normally it's here so I was expecting to show you guys the button that you press but uh actually on this particular board it's down here doesn't make much of a difference it's not something you'll be using very often knock on wood but it's there and it's super handy because you don't even have to have a CPU or memory installed in order to recover your BIOS thumbs up because it could save you an RMA which can be up to a week of downtime without your system moving on we have their Network eye control which the coolest feature in the network eye control is actually the ability to prioritize various applications it's pretty easy to set up in the AI Suite so all you do is take any network using applications you bump them up into the sort of the the managed applications cue and then you just click on the priority in order to set them to high medium or low so that's really neat as well uh usb3 boost so true uasp support now this is kind of tricky because the z77 chipset natively supports Intel usb3 Port so this guy oh hold on one of these two front ones is going to be an Intel usb3 Port uh set of ports and then two of these rear ones are going to be are okay hold on one header for the front will be Intel two ports for the back will be Intel one header for the front is going to be as media and then two ports for the back are going to be as media so the Intel ports are going to over time have the advantage probably of you know more General wider compatibility due to it being Intel and they validate everything to death but as media has the advantage of supporting uasp so with an compatible device you can get dramatically better performance out of the as media ports so seus gives you the option use this and this or use this and this whatever you decide you will get the best possible balance uh precise power control so as I mentioned before this is their eighth generation uh this is a fully digitally powered board now what's cool about what asusa has done with their z77 boards is they're actually moving away from using different types of pwm designs throughout their lineup so this is a pro level board this is a fairly High tier board but even on their low boards they are still going to be using digit digital power for the CPU the memory as well as the integrated GPU So Gone are the days when you have to buy a Deluxe level board or a sabertooth or an Rog board to get digital power control for your integrated GPU which you are in all likelihood not using no ASUS has moved those features down with a trickle down effect to the boards that really need it finally Wi-Fi go so this particular one comes with a Wi-Fi module which can actually be used not only to access your wireless network but also to stream media to supported DLNA devices as well as use your motherboard as an AP so as an access point for networking so DLNA media hub got that covered Wi-Fi connectivity everywhere yep so you can stream to your iPad to your phone other DLNA devices very cool um you know what if you guys are curious about TPU you should probably check out my my Roundup of preann over clocking utilities so you can either use the TPU button to get an automatic overclock although I wouldn't recommend that because the uh the aggressive mode in their AI Suite the most extreme mode allows it to tune itself find the sweet spot for your CPU and really Max it out in a way that uh these these one button utilities cannot do let me just see if I've missed anything else on the back here fan expert 2 is really cool so you can set user definable sorry about that you can set user definable curves so that uh you basically tell it what temperatures you want it to run at what RPMs also provides an RPM fixed mode as well as an automatic fan speed detection mode which allows you to basically just more intelligently figure out what exactly you want to do as far as balancing your fan speed and your cooling goes here we go so we got support for HDMI 1.4 which means 3D very cool SATA mode notice are configured to ahci mode by default thank you ASUS it is about time more motherboard manufacturers started moving to HCI mode by default because so many users are like oh my new SSD it doesn't perform very good it's like well you're running an IDE mode what can we do for you and once you once you've installed the OS onto an ID mode drive it's a bit of a bear to get it changed around to ahci mode here's the Wi-Fi go-kart user guide including various things such as access point mode the Wi-Fi engine Wi-Fi go the movable omnidirectional antenna all right we've got the user guide as well as the drivers and utilities disc which you should ignore and download the latest off the exus website we've got an SLI cable we've got the Q connectors so these are to more easily plug in your front ports including front USB 2 as well as your front panel connectors such as your power and whatnot uh we have okay a Wi-Fi module here which unfortunately I was traveling recently and I forgot to uh put my knife back on my keychain I don't know how I'm going to get this open guys never mind we're good slick was going to turn off the camera for me mercifully but I didn't end up needing it so there's the module and presumably there's an antenna that I missed yep okay more accessories sorry about that guys uh so then there's a movable and this is cool because it has magnets on the bottom of it so you can actually position it wherever you want uh it looks like he's moved the one that was on my test bench before but I had it just like bolted to the side of the power supply actually here oh that didn't work oh that's too bad because okay just the wires here but yeah you can stick it to anything metal IO Shield rear uh a rear e SATA as well as USB 2 just if you want some extra ports back there two SATA 36 GB per second cables two SATA 2 3 GB per second cables these are all straight to right angle and finally the board itself so we've covered most of the features so we're going to go pretty quickly on the overview ASUS has actually got a really cool heat snc design I'm always sort of you know I'm always interested to see what they have my favorite is still the uh I think I called it Fortress of Solitude design that they had on their p-55 boards I really liked that but this one's pretty good too it's very new age and digital like it kind of looks like a city sort of thing I think it looks kind of neat and then this one is matching down here so that's your uh your chipset heat sink I mean mostly these heat sinks are for decoration these CPUs on this platform aren't going to pull a 10 of power I shouldn't say they're for decoration we do still need to cool the vrm but we're not talking you know an x79 platform where you got a six core CPU or anything like that this will be a four core CPU platform here is our digital power delivery as well as our LGA 1155 socket so be careful when you're installing it and don't try and install an 1156 CPU I remember when all of them came with warnings about that and right support out of the box for second generation and third generation CPUs dual Channel DDR3 is over here this is another cool thing about z77 boards is they support the DDR3 1600 MHz jde specification so that means if you have jde modules that is like bone stock modules that run at 1600 MHz they'll work completely zero configuration in these boards here's the uh the memo K button so that allows you to post pretty much no matter what kind of memory you gotten there um you've also got a 24 pin power connector and the 8 Pin power connector and their ideal locations along the right hand Edge in the top left front USB 3.0 Port we kind of already harped on that included SATA 2 3 GB per second ports included SATA 36 GB per second ports as well as two other SATA 36 GB per second ports so two of these are running off of the Intel chipset for these ports ASUS is using an as media controller which while it doesn't support their SSD caching that we've seen on previous generation products it is slightly faster than the controller that does support the caching we got our epu as well as our TPU buttons remember this is for Energy Efficiency this is for Extreme Performance front panel connectors four front USB 2.0 uh headers front uh front panel USB 3 uh front panel audio as well as moving along here ah yes ports let's talk ports so we have two PCIe 1X slots three PCI e6x slots although this guy is really only good for PCI e4x and this guy is really only good for PCI E 8X although bear in mind PCIe 3.0 8X is the same bandwidth as PCIe 2.0 16x so even if you're running two high-end graphics cards in here you're going to have plenty of bandwidth two Legacy PCI ports round out the seven slots that are available uh oh yes fan headers so you can use ASUS's software in order to control these fan headers we have 1 2 3 four five should be six where's the last one six uh four pin pwm fan headers and we can set all kinds of cool curves I believe it's uh fan headers 1 to four that you can actually use to um use the autot tuning software for on the back we find a PS2 Port that's for keyboard or Mouse I still like to see these we've got uh four USB 3.0 ports two USB 2.0 ports optical audio out HDMI DisplayPort VGA and DVI are all included Intel Ethernet that's how they're able to have that uh that packet sorting included on all of their z77 boards as well as 7.1 audio out on the back of the board we find a little bit of extra cooling for the vrm that's definitely Ely not for decoration as well as little quality touches like installing the chipset heat sink using screws rather than push pins so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the p8 z77 V Pro don't forget to subscribe to lius techtips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos and last but not least USB charger plus allows you to quickly charge your devices plugged into the USB 3 or the USB ports on this motherboard even when the system is powered off and one of thing I pretty much forgot is the Thunderbolt header so ASUS is going to have available for their full line of z77 boards with the exception of I believe the Ws board a PCIe 4X Riser card that you can install in here and then run a little cable over to the TB header so you can add Thunderbolt compatibility to your board for a very reasonable charge if you have a Thunderbolt ready device that you want to use"}
