Z77 mini itx mobo thread

Ok guys, after my build im looking for all mobos z77

Lets start :D

ASUS:
P8Z77-I - Here pics with Noctua and GTX680


(there is deluxe and WS)




ASROCK:
Z77E-ITX





EVGA:
Z77 Stinger
There is here our preview.




MSI:
Z77IA-E53





GIGABYTE:
Z77N-WiFi





ZOTAC:
Z77-ITX WiFi [Z77ITX-A-E]





Then?
Only asus and evga have some distance between socket and pci-ex..so AIO or watercooling for sure, maybe a top-down cooler?
I will use H80 o H100, so for me isnt a big problem :)

I explained to Luca that I don't like the where the CPU socket has been placed. With the MSI board it's too close to the PCI-Express slot, which means that when you're going to install a big cooler then it will collide with a graphics card. Except of course you use something like an H80 :)

Yeah, silent, perfomance like a top cooler and fit easy.

Maybe MSI will be not the top in overclock ;), but for daily use imho isnt a big problem :D

Anyway I wait some review, im so curious :D

Looks like we have to ask MSI for a sample. So far I can tell you that overclocking with the P8Z77-I Deluxe from ASUS is piece of cake. My system is running at 4.5 GHz with a 2600K.
