http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1821/1/ I have been waiting for a long time for some competition to the Asus ROG Gene series, and with Z77 we finally get it. Except, by the looks of it: - only 4 SATA ports - no dedicated sound codec detectable, despite it saying so on the infocard - no onboard power/reset buttons, despite a claim that the whole range will have them - no mSATA, which should be the Gigabyte gimmick and added value for this series - no Killer NIC, despite the Sniper branding - 4-pin ATX power does not bode well for overclocking I'm not impressed, as it is, it's much closer to a GD45-M than it is to a ROG Gene model. The full ATX Sniper 3 looks good though... 10x SATA, dual LAN, all USB3 on backpanel, mSATA slot, headphone amp, buttons, debugger, quad SLI/fire support... Man I wish the gigabyte CEOs would get it into their skull that we want THOSE features on mATX, not just the fancy sticker.
