Product Information
The ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe motherboard stands as a testament to the economy of space. Measuring just 6.7 by 6.7 inches (Mini-ITX form factor), the P8Z77 Deluxe has features normally spread out over larger Standard ATX boards, such as a full-length x16 PCIe 3.0 slot, dual-band wireless card, and ASUS’s Dual Intelligent Processors. The Intel-ready ASUS’ P8Z77-I works with the Celeron, Celeron Dual-Core, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, Pentium Dual-Core, and XEON series of processors. Those planning on running high-resource software or engaging in visually intense, power-hungry gaming sessions, should go with an Intel Pentium Dual-Core or XEON series CPU. The P8Z77-I comes with an Intel Z77 (Ivy Bridge) chipset. ASUS P8Z77 Deluxe motherboards can handle any Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) you install, from the monstrous NVIDIA Titan X gaming GPU to the relatively modest, yet nonetheless powerful, AMD Radeon R7 360. The case you choose, however, determines which GPU fits. With a Mini-ITX form factor, the P8Z77 Deluxe can reside comfortably in a case the size of a shoebox or a full tower the size of a suitcase. However, those who plan on adding a powerful GPU need a case large enough to accommodate the cooling system needed to prevent the P8Z77 from overheating. The ASUS P8Z77-I motherboard hit performance benchmarks during testing normally reached by ASUS’s full-size Maximus V Formula and Sabertooth Z77 motherboards. The P8Z77 Deluxe has a maximum overclocking speed of 4.6 GHz, scored 7.90 on the Cinebench R11 CPU rendering performance test (pushing a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 gaming GPU), and ran 43.6 frames per second during the X264 v4.0 video-encoding performance test. ASUS WIFI GO! technology links a P8Z77-I Deluxe-powered computer with your smartphone, tablet, and television, allowing you to manage system controls remotely and essentially turning any mobile device into a mouse, keyboard, or gesture-controlled remote (with mobile devices that have a motion sensor). With onboard dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and three modular mini antennas, WIFI GO! allows you to set up an Internet hotspot anywhere in your home. ASUS’ USB 3.0 Boost supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and increases transmission speed between devices by up to 170 percent over the already lightning-quick 5 GB/second USB 3.0 standard. The P8Z77-I motherboard also has LucidLogix Virtu MVP technology, which boosts graphics performance by up to 60 percent and increases video-conversion rate by 300 percent over boards without. When running Windows 8, you can take advantage of ASUS’ Fast Boot software, which decreases boot-up time to around two seconds. The P8Z77-I supports Crystal Sound audio and ASUS Strix sound cards includes four SATA cables and offers Bluetooth 4.0 networking capability.
