    Asus P8Z68-V Gen3 or ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 (LGA 1155 Intel Z68)

    I am using the computer especially for the video editing and I am planning to get the I7 2600K but no real gaming. I asked the same to some of my friends and they are telling me to get the video card. Will this defeat the purchase for the Z68 chipset. And also tell me that if getting the Intel P67 will be better choice for me. If you have any suggestion that can be helpful for me then please let me know that. I will be thankful for all the replies for this. Other than this, please some extra information about these board so that I can make a perfect decision for myself.

    I would like to tell you that both of them are almost the same and the only difference betweenthese two is the I/O. If you go for the pro then you will get a couple of additional SATA and the audio feature as compared to the other one. If you are going to use the computer for the video transcoding then it will be better for you to use higher RAM. This is the only difference between these two and if we forget these difference then there will not be any difference in that and they will become identical. So now choice is upto you that which one is beneficial for you. There are also many other options available for you but these two are from the best and you must go anyone of these two only.

    The performance of ASUS P8Z68 Gen3 Pro-V looks fine as far as I observed it. However, there are 2 things that stand out. First, the audio quality seems less than equivalent boards. Especially Gigabyte performs better at this. This board uses the cheaper Realtek ALC 892 controller. The second thing that strikes the poor performance of the Marvell SATA III ports that is present on the motherboard. This is a known problem where other motherboards are facing. The accompanying SATA III ports from Intel make it well. I get read speeds of 510MB / s (AS SSD) with my Crucial M4 128GB. The board is supplied including a very clear manual SLI bridge and a metal plate containing 2 USB3.0 ports which you can slot in your PCI stabbing.

    The ASUS motherboard PRO/GEN3 P8Z68-V is a product that has the advantage of having the best of H67 Chipset including video outputs and overclocking capabilities that enable the P67 chipset to the K series processors from Intel. All this are together in the Z68 chipset which is the heart of this product. Among the technologies highlighted in this motherboard are: energy saving EPU, TPU for easy overclocking, Virtu to use the integrated graphics and discrete GPU together, and PCI-Express 3.0 that takes advantage of the HD Radeon cards as 7950.
