Gigabyte Z77X-D3H @ Guru3D
“Z77 is of course the Intel chipset predominantly released for Ivy Bridge based processors. These motherboards will have a slightly altered feature set and thus support the new Ivy Bridge apples from Intel. Good to know however is that Z77 also supports Sandy Bridge Socket 1155 based processors.”
Ivy Bridge Motherboard Roundup @ TBreak
“The Ivy Bridge processors are launched in conjunction with Intel’s new Z77 chipset; also an improvement over last year’s Z68 chipset. I have discussed about the Z77 chipset in our review of the MSI Z77A-GD55 motherboard. However, let’s have a quick look at some of the new features.”
Z77 Motherboard Roundup @ Legit Reviews
“Today, we are able to retire our Intel Core i7 2600K processor from our motherboard test bench! Intel has officially launched the Intel 22nm ‘Ivy Bridge’ series of processors! Nate will be taking an in-depth look at the Intel Core i7 3770K 22nm processor architecture and performance which you can find here. We will be looking at the performance of four different Intel Z77 motherboards with an Intel Core i7 3770K 22nm ‘Ivy Bridge’ processor…”
ASUS Sabertooth Z77 @ Guru3D
“The changes for Z77 primarily can be found in native USB 3.0 support as well as an upgrade towards PCie gen 3 PCIe x16 slots. This article is a full review of what you may expect from the TUF series Sabertooth Z77, have peek after which we’ll dive right into the photo shoot.”
“Is Ivy Bridge all it’s cracked up to be and well worth the wait? It seems so. With measurable performance improvement in just about every benchmark, it’s hard to make a case for sticking with a Second Generation Core series processor for a new build. With performance improvements anywhere between 3 and 10+%, it’s just simple math when you look at the price point between the $313 Third Generation Core i7 3770K and $339 Second Generation Core i7 2600K.” – Overclockers Club

Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H (Z77) @ eTeknix
“We set this review out to see how the Z77X-UD5H could cope with Ivybridge and if it was able to harness that power from the new range of 3rd gen processors, and while they did offer some noticeable increases, we feel that BIOS revisions and driver updates should unlock more performance as time goes on, and that’s something we’re very keen to see happen in the coming weeks.”
Gigabyte Z77M-D3H @ eTeknix
“Coming forward to only recently, we published a preview into the Z77M-D3H and what is on offer with the new Z77 chipset on this board. Rather than being a full blown review and retracing steps that we’ve already made, this is a concise bite sized version, purely with the facts and figures – the bits that everyone has been keen to get their hands on for a while.”
Sapphire Pure Black X79N @ PureOC
“Recently, Sapphire has raised a few eyebrows with their Pure Platinum and Pure Black Series in both Intel and AMD Platforms. Today, we have our hands on Sapphire’s newest release, the Pure Black X79N. With some exciting added features, we didn’t waste any time to check out this bold new motherboard. But it comes with a very expensive price tag, so can it measure up?”
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H @ PCStats
“There’s nothing finer than a new chipset to kick the summer off and this year it’s the Intel Z77 Express. In this review PCSTATS will put the performance oriented Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H motherboard, which is built on Intel’s shiny new Z77 Express chipset, through its paces with the exceptionally popular 32nm 2nd Gen. Intel Core i3/i5/i7 ‘Sandy Bridge’ processor.”
Intel’s DZ77GA-70K @ TechReport
“DZ77GA-70K doesn’t exactly roll off one’s tongue, but its Gasper codename isn’t much better. Indeed, there is nothing about this board that would cause seasoned PC enthusiasts to gasp. Intel isn’t known for flashy surprises. It has, however, built a very nice Z77 board.”
