MSI Z77A-GD65

MSI launch Z77A-GD65, equipped with 3 slot PCI-Express 2.0 x 16 (x 16 x 8 x 4). When viewed on a manual, this third slot can only be used if you are using the latest Intel processor that is the Ivy Bridge. The extended, SLI and CrossFireX doesn't need a hard requirement.

MSI Z77A-GD65

Another feature that caught my attention is enough availabilities FireWire header. While in the back panel there is no FireWire.
Other facilities offered, MSI provides an additional 2 SATA 6Gbps, debug port, and switch up to clear the CMOS on the back panel. A number of features the MSI was not to Miss highlights paired as OC Genie Button, which simply press this button and the system will automatically overclock and Active Phase Switching that can save power consumption. The drawback is no eSATA.

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H

Gigabyte released one of their flagship motherboard products. This time, Gigabyte offers mSata interfaces to facilitate GA-Z77X-UD5H user utilizing the features of Intel which is Intel Smart Response Technology Intel chipset Z77 Express innate need SSD. If this facility used the effect last 3Gbps SATA ports will be sacrificed to become disabled.

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H

For other feature Gigabytes also provides 3 slot PCI-Express 2.0 x 16 (x 8 x 16 x 4) with SLI and CrossFireX. But just as MSI-GD65, Z77A third slot can be used only when we are using processors with Ivy Bridge technology.
There's also the debug port, but no additional clear CMOS switch on the panel behind it. A typical feature of Gigabyte also included such as the Gigabyte On/Off Charge that can be used for battery charging equipment and gadgets faster, bahakan at a time when the PC is off.
For interface, Gigabyte storage also adds 6Gbps, FireWire eSATA and SATA 6Gbps ports and an additional USB 3.0 with an extra panel in front. The drawback of this additional USB 3.0 enabled by sharing bandwidth.

ASRock Z77 Extreme 6

ASRock Z77 Extreme6 has expansion slot which is a different from the other Express Z77 motherboard. In it there is 1 slot Mini PCI-Express a more efficient place. ASRock want to optimize the rest of the space under the dual slot graphics cards that may be installed if the user who wants an additional graphics card. 

ASRock Z77 Extreme 6

ASRock install 2 slot PCI-Express 2.0 x 16 (x 8, x 16) slot, 1 PCI-Express 2.0 x 16 (x 4) and has already supported SLI and CrossFireX.
ASRock mainstay features like XFast (XFast RAM, XFast USB LAN, XFast) that can optimize the use of each component, were entered.
For other facilities ASRock Z77 Extreme6 has eSATA, FireWire, 6Gbps SATA 6Gbps and no doubt additional USB 3.0 front panel, along with an additional clear CMOS switch at the back panel, and the debug port.

Intel DZ77GA-70K

Intel recently launched its newest desktop processors code-named Ivy Bridge name. At the same time, Intel also launched several new chipsets, one of which is the Intel Z77 Express. Intel Express Z77 is arguably similar to Intel's previous flagship i.e. Z68 Express. Some differences are added 4 USB port version 3.0 Intel Motherboard DZ77GA-70K is one of the Extreme series Intel using this latest chipset. 

Intel DZ77GA-70K

Because it is rated as a top class, he comes with complete facilities. In addition to the SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 from the chipset, there are also eSATA, FireWire, port 6Gbps debug, switch Back to the BIOS that is sort of an extra button to clear CMOS facilities, 2 Channel SATA 6Gbps, 2 gigabit LAN, Bluetooth/WiFi. USB 3.0 is available as a drawback by hub 8 (in other words sharing the bandwidth). For a PCI-Express x 16 slot, Intel provides 2 slot version 3.0 (x 8, x 16) and SLI support as well as CrossFireX.

ECS Z77H2-A3

ECS Z77H2-A3 using the Intel chipset Z77 Express, SATA 6Gbps and also offer a USB 3.0 version. Ivy Bridge, processor motherboard already supports PCI-Express 2.0 x 16. But if you are going to pair the 2 graphics cards PCI-Express x 16 SLI and CrossFireX with features, or need eSATA and FireWire, ECS does not include this feature.

ECS Z77H2-A3

Another deficiency in the absence of indicators of the POST (Power-On self-test), the easy way to clear CMOS by pressing special keys on the keyboard on the conditions specified. PS/2 ports are available also consists of only 1 port, so it had to choose between the keyboard and the mouse. Some typical features such as ECS ECS Smart Fan Utility which serves to set the fan speeds easily through the GUI (Graphical User Interface), are included as well.

WinFast GT 630

WinFast GT 630 has a simple design like the other entry-class graphics card. have a short with a dimension larger coolers mounted on top of it.

Graphics card GeForce GT 630 using core graphics similar to the GeForce GT 440 old based Fermi, GF108 IE. As for the specs the graphics card GeForce GT 630 of this WinFast are slightly different with Nvidia's reference. Accelerators and shadernya the same, but their local memory speeds are lower, i.e. 533 MHz (effective 1066MHz) instead of 900 MHz.

WinFast GT 630

Performance alone still feels somewhat less because it's not for heavy 3D games. To run 3D games with high resolution and detail is still pretty good, but it would be bogged down in some games. When the overclock, the graphics card delivers performance improvements of about 15% in 3DMark Vantage 1.0.2 1920 × 1080 pixels after akseleratornya into a 900 MHz, 1800MHz shaders into their local memory, and be 700MHz.

MSI N630GT-MD1GD3/LP was released with a simple design, unlike other additional graphics card. In the Pack, MSI package also includes additional smaller bracket to be used on a mini chassis. MSI provides a cooling heatsink with a length similar to the cards and 2 additional fan.

MSI N630GT MD1GD3/LP

Graphics card GeForce GT 630 wears the GF108 core Nvidia graphics also used old graphics card GeForce GT 440 's. Local memory is slower than a reference (667 MHz [effective 1333MHz] instead of 900 MHz), but the more appropriate reference. To play 3D games with detail and high resolution graphics card is a bit heavy and hard to keep up, but it was enough to build a computer game with affordable specification. When the Accelerator can rise up to overclock the 900 MHz, 1800MHz shaders into local memory, and be overclocked performance improvements of about 18% in 3DMark Vantage 1.0.2 1920 × 1080 pixels were obtained.

Zotac GT640 2GB 128bit DDR3

Zotac GT640 2GB 128bit DDR3, a graphics card is cheap and affordable. His performance as the graphics card is another simple entry class included with the look of simple and modest cooling. With the cooler almost the same as the other graphics card which is an alumium fan heatsink are equipped a small.

Zotac GT640 2GB 128bit DDR3

This graphics card using Kepler to the entry class is better known as the NVIDIA GK107 code. The speed of the graphics card GeForce GT 640 is appropriate references, as well as the capacity of the memory. Because power consumption is, then your graphics card is not equipped with auxiliary power port. Although including class graphics card entries and affordable, Zotac GT640 2GB 128bit DDR3 has the performance to say nice, even though it has yet to to play 3D games are heavy on detail and high resolution. When overclocked graphics card is capable of enhanced performance is approximately 6.1% in 3DMark Vantage 1.0.2 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels after arranged at the accelerator on a 1000MHz memory as well as locally at 1000MHz (2000MHz effective).
