ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe Mini-ITX Motherboard Review

news · April 5, 2013

The P8Z77X-I Deluxe is ASUS' high-powered answer to the small form

factor crowd. Through some unique design decisions and an upright

daughter-board, ASUS was able to cram a full 10-phase digital power

delivery system into this board without sacrificing any other

integrated components. It's nice to see a manufacturer step up and

design a mini-ITX board in the same vein as its full-sized

counterpart.

Quote: "There are two features that really make this board stand out

though Â– the USB 3.0 Boost Mode performance and the 8+2 power phase

design built in to the board. USB 3.0 Boost technology enhances

performance of any USB 3.0 hard drive type device, with better

performance seen when using a UASP-enabled device adapter. With the

power phases, ASUS was able to cram a total of 10 power phases (eight

for the CPU and two for the integrated graphics) onto the board

without at all hampering the feature set or space-constraining the

on-board components. They did this by placing all CPU-related power

components on an upright daughter board."

Thanks for a post!
