Motherboard Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe Review

Classical desktops are gradually giving way to more advanced and compact PC solutions. The times when compact dimensions signified about fewer facilities have gone, and present-day PC market is able to offer all-in-one solutions, as well as, multi-functional, high-end mini-ATX motherboards. Asus is notable for the constant overcoming of stereotypes that allegedly stagger the development of motherboard functionality. Its P8Z77-I Deluxe motherboard proves practically unlimited facilities integrated in products of mini-ATX form factor.

Design and Integration

The availability of an additional board with power components is supposed to be the basic design peculiarity of Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe motherboard. It is located athwart to the main board and takes DIGI+VRM functions. Those functions are called to provide the motherboard with an efficient CPU power supply subsystem that is able to demonstrate good loading facilities. The additional board is developed according to the eight-phase scheme where the solid-state capacitors are unsoldered on DIGI+VRM and main circuit board.

The rear panel of the motherboard accommodates a whole range of sockets for the connection with various video, audio and network devices. Thus, the customer will find a set of video outputs represented by DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI sockets, a couple of eSATA ports, LAN socket, four USB 3.0 and analogous amount of USB 2.0 sockets, three audio slots, and sockets for the connection of wireless network antennas. There is also space for firmware re-zeroing (Clear CMOS) and urgent restoration (USB BIOS Flashback) buttons.

CPU power supply is realized by means of 8-pin EPS12V socket which is located at the board edge. Mini-PCI-e socket is used for wireless network module Bluetooth+WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n. In addition, the motherboard offers two SATA 3 Gb/sec ports and two SATA 6 Gb/sec ports.

The nominal delivery set of Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe consists of a 'must have' kit of components (user guideline, CD with software, SATA cables), and of some additional accessories that include a couple of antennas for efficient Bluetooth+WiFi module operation.

Specifications

Motherboard Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe is compatible with the most efficient and power-saving CPUs from Intel: Pentium, Celeron for LGA 1155 socket, as well as Core i3, i5, i7 of the 2nd and 3rd generations. Those CPU are equipped with memory controllers and PCI-e buses for the support of two-channel DDR3 SDRAM memory type.

To continue, PCI-e interface is represented by PCI-e 3.0 version with the improved encoding scheme which increases the bandwidth twofold, if compared with PCI-e 2.0 version. On such conditions, the total bandwidth of PCI-e 3.0 x16 socket equals to 32 GB/s. This gives the users a chance to enhance the performance of graphics system of their PCs.

Asus has become the first company to offer the employment of two dedicated chips: Turbo Processing Unit (overclocking controller) and Energy Processing Unit (power supply controller). Such technological solution has been codenamed Dual Intelligent Processors. The second generation of this solution is predestined to ensure high accuracy of CPU and GPU power voltage adjustment, and to minimize the loss of efficiency. BIOS settings become available via user-friendly interface intended at the maximal realization of all motherboard potential facilities. The implemented voltage regulator module (VRM) is considered to be the main motherboard component. Its facilities include the control and monitoring over the consumed power, and adjustment of the power supply according to the CPU nominal requirements.

Special Facilities

1. USB 3.0 Boost. With the purpose to speed up USB 3.0 interface the manufacturer enabled the support of UASP protocol. The implementation of such technology promotes for the acceleration of data transfer via USB 3.0 port up to 170%. Moreover, there is no need to constantly adjust the interface, since the most optimal mode is established automatically.
2. USB BIOS Flashback. With the attempt to update BIOS the most convenient and hassle-free way, Asus provides the motherboard with USB BIOS Flashback facility. The user just needs to activate USB flash-drive with BIOS code and click on a dedicated button in order to complete the update. This process might be realized even without the installed memory or CPU.
