Z77 Pro3 vs. Z77-DS3H Easy Choice
Win Win Win Win Win Win Win Win Win Win Win Win Win Win Spec. Comparison
Poor PWM Design • Z77 Pro3 • 4+1+1 Power Phase • Digi Power • Higher Current spec. Choke • MOSFET Heatsink • Z77-DS3H • 3+1+1 Power Phase • Analog Power • Lower Current spec. Choke • NOHeatsink
Poor PWM Design • Bigger Choke • Higher Currency spec. • Smaller Choke • Lower Currency spec. Z77 Pro3 Z77-DS3H • 4+1+1 Phase • Cooler • More Stable • No power waste • 3+1+1 Phase • Hotter • Needs more MOSFET • More power waste • Digi Power • Greater power efficiency • More power options to adjust • Analog Power • Cheap • Not user friendly • Heatsink • Cooler • Better looking • No heatsink • Hotter • Ugly
Poor Memory Support • Z77 Pro3 • Supports 4 × DDR3 2800+MHz • Z77-DS3H • Supports 4 × DDR3 2400+MHz Only • The pictures above is copied from official websites on Oct. 17th 2012
Poor Poor LAN Chip Comparison • Z77 Pro3 • Realtek RTL 8111E Gigabit LAN • Z77-DS3H • Atheros AR8151 Gigabit LAN Netperf Benchmark
SATA2 Comparison • Z77 Pro3 • 4 × SATA2 ports, reasonable and useful • Z77-DS3H • 3 × SATA2 ports + 1 × mSATA2 connector Useless Crucial M4 128GB 2.5” $109.99 & • mSATA is not a standard on MBs. It’s hard to find another MB with mSATA when upgrading . • More cost to buy an mSATA SSD?? Crucial M4 128GB mSATA $124.99
Poor VGA Software Comparison • Z77 Pro3 • Supports Lucid Virtu MVP which features 2 exciting technologies With MVP 70% Performance Boost • HyperFormance™ : • Integrated + discrete graphics • = Improves gaming frame rate 30-70%! • Virtual Vsync : • Brings GPU performance from 60 FPS Vsync limit back to its maximum without tearing. BEFORE Virtual Vsync: TEARING ARTIFACT OR FPS LIMIT Virtual Vsync - NO TEARING • Z77-DS3H • Does NOT support Lucid Virtu MVP

Lousy Acceleration Software Z77 Pro3 • Z77-DS3H • Real-time Traffic Shaping • Plentiful options to optimize your internet traffic • Easy, friendly UI • Simple and crude UI • Less options • No Real-time monitor
Poor OC Software Comparison Z77 Pro3 • Z77-DS3H To overclock a Non K-series CPU.. • No-K OC can unleash No-K CPU’s power by boosting its frequency with just one click. 10% Boost To overclock a K-series CPU.. • 3 Easy OC options in the UEFI Only Manual OC
Lousy OC Software Comparison Z77 Pro3 Z77-DS3H AXTU 3D Power + EasyTune6 REALLY SLOW, it takes 4 secs to change one page with i7-3770K. All-in-one, easy to use 4 secs..zzz NOT all-in one software, inconvenient Clean, fast, functional
Poor Online UEFI Update Z77 Pro3 • Z77-DS3H Under the OS, you can download the latest BIOS from ASRock’s website. Under the OS, you can download the latest BIOS from Gigabyte’s website. Under the UEFI, there’s no way to update the BIOS online Under the UEFI, you can use Internet flash. • Internet Flash • Updates the latest BIOS from the internet in the UEFI • No need for a HDD or USB disk No Similar Software
Lousy UEFI Comparison Z77 Pro3 • Z77-DS3H You can do OC in the OC Tweaker page, no need to waste time changing pages to adjust each option. You have to constantly switch pages to OC, a waste of time and waste of life. Useful OC options all in one page, easy to use
3D?? UEFI Comparison Z77 Pro3 Z77-DS3H Real MB photo, easy to understand Monochrome, just a picture, not 3D No information of devices Information about devices, such as CPU, VGA, memory module
Humidity Protection All OK! • Z77 Pro3 • ASRock Dehumidifier • The computer will power on automatically to dehumidify the system after entering S4/S5 state. • Z77-DS3H • Humidity protection Only for PCB • No protection for other components
