Pros: Price - in this price range there are few boards that offer as much.
Cons: This is a niggling con but it does deserve mentioning. I would have appreciated more fan headers. I have a HAF case and water cooling so my needs were extreme, still I...
Pros: Comes with little buttons on the motherboard for power and resetting so a test boot is easy. There's an interface on the motherboard for temperature of the CPU, which ...
Cons: The CPU fan installation was a little difficult. The motherboard didn't have any notice of which way to install the CPU fan, and I ended up putting it in wrong twice b...
Pros: Two reviews down, I have a 3 star review about the board being DOA. In fact I was so unlucky, the replacement I received was DOA as well! Anyways, thirds times a charm...
Cons: The only con I have with this board is the OC'ing features. Keep in mind, this is my first build and first time overclocking so I'm by no means an expert. I was resear...
Pros: First off, no serious complaints about this motherboard. It's solid, well laid out for the most part, and has a huge array of features, including USB 3.0 support, many...

Summary: Location of headers for audio and case fans is odd - make sure it will work for you or get extension cables (particularly for case fans).
Pros: Easy build with new Ivy Bridge i5 processor for me. Decent balance of price with features, including plenty of rear ports. Good Realtek sound, ethernet. G.Kill sniper ...
Cons: For some reason, this board with i5-3570k struggled to feel any zippier as my previous build with Sandy Bridge i5-2500K with Biostar's Z68-based board.
Pros: Im very happy with my Tz77XE4. The reason im not giving it 5stars is because I havent fully tested the board. If your on a budget you should take a look at this Biosta...
Cons: Just wish Biostar was offering the USB 3.0 front panel when I order my board.
High quality motherboard at a good price, with some issues.
