Ga-z77x-ud5h-wb wifi

[marktd]

Will the wifi and bluetooth on this board work? I was thinking of using this and an Intel I5 3570. Would I be better of with the version without wifi? If so which 3rd party wifi and bluetooth boards work. I appreciate any help as I hope to move soon to replace my failed.Macbook.

As far as I know, the wireless won't work. See:

I think the bluetooth may work according to the above post.

I hate recommending parts that I haven't tested yet myself, but I've read that the TP-Link WDN4800 450Mbps wireless card works with ML. see:

Hope that helps somewhat.

I will get the udh5 mobo and a card. I can live without bt, but not wifi.

Forget the Wifi model, just get the TP-LINK WDN4800, I can confirm it works 100% native

Also, the regular UD5H is a recommended build so go for it.

GA-Z77X-UD5H + TP-Link WDN4800 is the best combo for you
