This review is from: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Motherboard (Personal Computers)
The board is great. The price is good and there are many features. The best part is that you can overclock and use integrated graphics. Some newer Z68 boards don't allow you to use integrated because they have no video ports and I think the whole point of Z68 is to be able to use the combined features of a P67 and H67.
The board has no fans on it. This makes my build silent because everything else that I have is quiet. The heat sinks keep the board cool with good temperatures without the need of extra fans.
This board, however, had some small annoying problems. One of the main problems is if you turn on the TPU switch so that the board automatically adjusts your setting for the best stable overclocking, I noticed that the system would shutdown 2 or 3 times before it boots into an operating system. This would happen every time I would turn on the computer. In other words, once you hit the power button, the system would start up and then shut off before it reaches BIOS and then shut off again and then restart and finally boot into windows. I wrote to Asus about this problem and they said it had to do with voltage settings in the BIOS. I turned the feature off and everything was fine once it went through the process of shutting down. I guess the shutting down has to do with the board adjusting itself for overclocking.
Another problem is that you can't boot into windows if you don't have a cpu cooler fan connected to the board. This is a big problem if you are using a cooler that doesn't use a cpu fan such as a water cooler. In my case, I am using a Noctua cooler and if the fans are connected to the cpu fan connectors, they will run at full speed and I can't control the speed of them. If I connect them to the standard 3 pin fan connectors then the system would get an error. I even disabled the BIOS cpu fan warnings and set them to ignore but that didn't help. I wrote to Asus and their information was useless. Basically I said I'd like to be able to have no fans connected because they run at full speed and I want to be able to boot without a cpu fan. Their response was repeating what I already said. The person said that I can connect the cpu fan and it will run at full speed. Eventually I found a solution by myself in order to boot into windows but I still have an error screen showing up for a few seconds.
Aside from these problems, it's a great board. I'm sure that most of the problems could be fixed in the future with a BIOS update.
