Both of it in the same price range, but which one is the better option??

I don't plan to run multiple GC, so CF is not a concern for me.....

I vote for Asus!!

The Asus P8Z68-V LE dont have Mosfet heatsink oo..U sure u wanna take that? Got extra budget?

I can allocate a little bit extra for motherboard....but what can you recommend?

Go for a full powered P8Z68-V instead.
P8Z68-V ~RM589 << Not sure if still available or replaced by all Gen3 already as not listed in pricelist
P8Z68-V Gen3 RM689

no point going for gen 3 if just because PCIE 3.0....since benchmark showed that there is no different between PCIE 2.0 and PCIE 3.0 in result (if TS going for ivy...then i dunno dy)

what is the differences in between P8Z68-V LE and P8Z68-V/P8Z68-V Gen3????

You need an Ivy Bridge Processor on that board to unlock the Gen3. That's why the first in my list is the original one, but it seems to be no longer listed in Viewnets pricelist

Added on January 17, 2012, 6:19 pmUse the Add to compare list and compare feature on Asus site. Mostly, LE isn't that good for dual Graphics card as the second slot uses 4x.
Also, the power phase on LE is inferior to the non-LE = not so good for overclocking.
LE no bluetooth

If you are just planning light overclocking, you may find the LE sufficient.

Added on January 17, 2012, 7:03 pmnope...gigabyte not recommend..im using Z68Xp-UD3P ,and i get this:
pros:
nice layout desgin on mobo
cheaper price compared to asus & msi

cons:
slow post screen(VERY VERY VERY SLOW!!!)
old BIOS(complex )
need higher Vcore to maintain stability than MSI and Asus
onboard audio chip might have lower quality than MSI and Asus(THX)

so if i can pick again..i wont choose gigabyte

i saw from internet that ASUS bios is quite GUI based...but how good is it then im nt sure edi....

Actually i also want to ask this question between the 2 mobo which is actually favored... Asus P8Z68-V LX Vs GIGABYTE Z68AP-D3-B3

it seem like Asus is the favoured one at this moment....

LX and LE is different leh. I also want to get a mobo around the price region of LX? How much is LE btw? Rarely see anyone selling LE version here

i dont see any LE version in any pricelist lo......now im considering whether to upgrade to Asus P8Z68-V or not........a few hundred different in price....

But ur title is LE leh...make me confuse. So the right mobo u r asking is LX which is around rm400??

....i didnt notice that too.....it should be LX....

yea, both the mobo is around RM400....and the price different is also within RM50....and this couldn't bother me much....

me to voted asus also......................

now im considering getting a better mobo.....just to get a better rig for myself.....

GA-Z68XP-UD3 and P8Z68-V

which is the better option?

P8Z68-V <== best selling

it seem like this model favour alot of ppl....but i think there is P8Z68-V and P8Z68-V/GEN3, which is RM100 difference in price....and i believe i dun need that.....

yes u dont
