Basically the ASUS Gryphon Z87's Layout has been very well thought. Once more practical are the angled SATA connectors as well as the power- and reset-buttons. There is also a debug display which is very useful in case you should have issues with a component in your system or the board itself. Especially overclockers will enjoy the voltage read-out points. Regarding the PCI-Express x16 slots there we have nothing to complain about. A closer look at the area around the CPU socket shows, that there is plenty of space to install big aircoolers without running into any issues. What we also liked is where the power and reset buttons are. Especially when you overclock memory using liquid nitrogen, then it makes sense to not have them next to the DIMM slots, since they will free quite quickly. Another great addition is the mPCIe-Slot, which in this case is compatible with M.2 (NGFF) SSDs. Unfortunately this slot has only been wired to one PCI Express 2.0 x1 lane, which means, that maximum transfer speeds won't surpass 500 Megabyte per second. |

| Let's first have closer look at overall 3D performance. Calcualting the average of all 3D benchmarks we ran, we see that this board comes in on an excellent 2nd spot. Concerning the average of all 2D performance, this board came in 5th to bottom, which is a bit disappointing. Furthermore, when we dig deeper into the individual results, we see that this board is either somewhere in the top rankings or somewhere in the bottom third. Nevertheless we hope that future BIOS updates will level performance a bit. On another note we had a look at power consumption and in this case we see that this board is a little bit below average. | -

| Le BIOS reste inchangé depuis le P67 et c'est une bonne chose car nous aimons le BIOS ASUS. C'est notre préféré avec celui de Gigabyte. Il est simple, intuitif et efficace bien que la version ROG possède plus d'options techniques/spéciales plus ou moins inutiles, on s'y retrouve facilement et le paramètre par défaut fonctionne généralement très bien dans le cas où vous n'oseriez le changer. | - Simple et intuitif - Beaucoup d'options | ||
| Recommandation | + | - | |
| Should you be looking for an ASUS ROG mATX motherboard, which comes at a very decent price point, then there is no way around the Gryphon Z87. It's an overall very good board and it offers everything you need to squeeze even the last bit of performance out of your system and even for gamers it offers a decent features mix. | -
