I just got my corsair 1300 today. Took me a while to figure out how to get the surround system working with my realtek 898 and THX Studio Pro, but as soon as i did, wow it is fantastic!!! Batman and BF3 are like different games now. Obviously I cannot compare and say this is better then a...

I think because it is a super popular board and the more who buy it many more users out there, so higher chance of seeing someone post something. Mine has been rock solid stable for 2+ weeks now, no complaints at all.

That might be, I think I installed all the drivers that came with the CD except for the Lucid MVP stuff, did not even bother with it. I don't have any USB 3.0 device though to test. The only USB devices I am using is my standard mouse/keyboard.

Yeah I was doing a comparison and the Realtek 898 comes with Creative X-Fi fidelity M2 software including THX Studio Pro I am just going to go with the Corsair 1300 analog and if it does not sound good then I guess I will add a sound card. Thanks everyone!

I have been running UD5H for about 2 weeks now since Ivy was released along with i5 3570k in it and it has been rock solid stable on BIOS F6, no issues whatsoever, no lockups, freezes or anything. I am extremely happy with this board I would say it is one of the best I have used in a really...

Mostly FPS and MMORPG like BF3 / SWTOR3 and soon to come GW2

To be honest it not the price of the soundcard, I just did not want to worry about another piece of hardware especailly if i already got onboard. I would rather go the USB route if the onboard will not cut it. But I really only use this machine for games, no movies, or music, so really trying...

So I recently upgraded to a Z77 that has Realtek 898 on board and heard the 898 is one of the best onboard audio. I only care about audio for gaming and was looking to get a headset with mic. From what I have been reading if you don't have a dedicated sound card, you should get a USB one...

yeah from what i read on multiple forums ASUS RMA is the worst out of all the mobo manufacutreres. http://www.customerservicescoreboard.com/Asus Take a look at all those negative reviews from RMA. I don't get how they are the Top mobo. I am looking at either Gigabyte or MSI for my next mobo.

probably a combination of this http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/other/display/20120406121534_TSMC_Faces_Shortage_of_28nm_Production_Capacities_Report.html and supply and demand for being a new card

Is this just a an OEM launch or full retail?

Good idea just going to get 1600, I doubt 2133 will make that much of a difference.

I was hoping to find out before..wanted to order cpu / mobo / memory on april 29th if i could. I need an upgrade badly still running e8400

For a Z77 board and going to get Ivy, since memory now supports I think much higher, is it better to get say DR 2133 or is that still a waste?

This is the board I am actually looking to buy! Thanks for posting
