Difference between these 2 motherboards

MSI Z77A-GD65 and MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt. They have the same PCI-E, same I/O don't know whats so different about these boards.

The GD65 has a better VRM, better Vcheck points, onboard buttons, 2 more sata ports, debug LED and a few other features similar to that if I recall correctly.

From what I can see is that on the MSI Z77A-GD65 you get more sata ports and better overclocking functionality. If you look on the top right of the board you will see that the on board power button is of higher quality.

In comparison with the other board, the 65 has better features which makes it much more likable.

The G45 has a realtek lan port and the gd65 has an Intel one.
