Neah. Minimum choice should be GD65 for overclocking purpose.
Saw Z77A-GD65 being sold in SMC website for 13.5K

Within 10K ASRock Z77 Extreme4 only is decent.....but yeah, for a serious OC experience you shouldn't look at a 10K board I guess.

I dunno anything about extreme4, but extreme6 have very bad llc, very risky in case of overclocking.



Plus tax or in all?

all inclusive.

anyway, who handles RMA for Asrock mobos - Accel or the Distributor Abacus ??

^^ Ok guys, thanks for the info .. at-least they provide RMA service by some 3rd party instead of the distributor unlike Biostar motherboards.

Anyway, Op can get Asus P8Z77-M if he wants a under 10k Asus mobo.

^^ Problem with z77x-ud3h:
Its lan chip, Atheros GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit). Now intel.
So, it is not worth of its price tag of 12K

^^ what's the difference between them and the lan chip ( as per specs on website ) is still Atheros GbE LAN chip.

^^ Intel gigabit LAN is the best & most reliable.
So while buying a motherboard >8K buyer should make sure that the motherboard he is buying have Intel LAN chipset.

sure .. why Intel will use some other lan chip when they can manufacture their own.

BTW, @10.6k Asus P8Z77-V LX is also a good option IMO :
