When you compare the ASRock 990FX Extreme9 to previously tested AMD 990FX boards, you can see that the new ASRock board is one of the most comprehensive boards on the market. Whether you will actually use eight USB 3.0 and eight Serial ATA 600 on an AMD board is another question, but if you're in need of high-end Socket AM3+ board, this 990FX Extreme9 is a great option.
Situated towards the entry-level end of Gigabyte’s Ultra Durable series of Z87 motherboards, the Z87-D3HP aims to provide a cheap-and-cheerful way for budget-conscious users to make the switch to Haswell.
Mini-ITX ist im Kommen. Wir testen vier „Haswell“-Mainboards von ASRock, Asus, Gigabyte und MSI auf ihre Alltagstauglichkeit mit Fokus auf Layout und Kompatibilität.
With Intel's 7-series chipset a little over a year old, the latest 8-series offers only a few minor improvements. There's some power savings to be had, along with more built-in ports for USB 3.0 and 6Gb/s SATA. Other than that, there's not much to distinguish from the previous 1155 socket generation. The motherboard we have for review today comes to us from Gigabyte in the form of their Z87X-D3H. They offer no less than fifteen different Z87 based chipset motherboards, everything from mini-ITX boards with onboard Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, to their top-of-the-line G1 Sniper gaming motherboards, and the D3H falls somewhere in the middle.
The MSI Z87M Gaming Motherboard, is equipped with many features. The Z87M Gaming Motherboard comes equipped with a Killer NIC E2200 LAN and Audio Boost which includes Creative Sound Blaster Cinema and MSI’s OC Genie 4 for those of you who don’t have time to spend overclocking. Unlike some other manufacturers mATX motherboards the MSI Z87M Gaming is both SLI and Crossfire capable while including 2 HDMI and 1 Display Port outputs for easy multiple monitor connectivity when using onboard graphics.
ASUS has been at the forefront of the high performance mini-ITX revolution since it became popularised by small form factor mini-ITX cases like Bitfenix’s Prodigy. Today we have one of those innovative mini-ITX solutions of which ASUS now have numerous for the Intel Haswell LGA 1150 socket. ASUS’ mini-ITX solutions include the Maximus VI Impact for Z87, the Q87T for Q87, the H81I-PLUS for H81, the H87I-PLUS for H87, the Z87I-DELUXE for Z87 and the Z87I-PRO for Z87 which we have with us today. In terms of the product segmentation both the Z87I-DELUXE and Maximus VI Impact are “better” motherboards than the Z87I-PRO that we have, but the Z87I-PRO is a more cost effective solution.
You’d think that smaller size means less features but it certainly does not as ASUS have done a great job to cram in as much as possible to the Z87I-PRO. Other than the inevitable loss of 2 DIMM lanes and all PCI connectivity except the main PCIe X16 lane ASUS have managed to preserve pretty much everything. You’ve got the full 6 SATA III ports from the Z87 PCH, 8 USB 3.0 ports and 6 USB 2.0 ports. They’ve even managed to cram in a 12 phase VRM with a vertically placed VRM daughter-board at the top. Below you can see more detailed specifications:
The MAXIMUS VI EXTREME is the most high-end motherboard from ASUS for socket LGA1150 processors. It is based on the Z87 chipset and brings 10 SATA-600 ports, eight USB 3.0 ports, a Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac interface, and a Bluetooth 4.0 antenna. But the highlight of this motherboard is the overclock control panel, which can be used to monitor and control overclocking parameters.
The GS70 STEALTH is a slim gaming laptop from MSI, with a 17” Full HD screen, fourth-generation Core i7 CPU, a GeForce GTX 765M video card, two SSDs in RAID configuration, Killer network controller, and much more.
Typically, Intel keeps their chipset launches timed with new CPUs but todays (official) launch of the Z997 chipset does not come with shiny new silicon from Intel. There are rumors of launch days for a Haswell refresh but as of now, there isn’t anything official. Even without new CPUs we can still take a look at the latest in motherboards. To start things off, today I will be taking a look at MSI’s Z97 Gaming 5. With their new naming scheme we can tell right away that this is a gaming motherboard (of course) and the 5 is their entry level full ATX board with a 7 and a 9 that will round out the line. I’m excited to see what has changed and what remained the same!
Continuing our recent focus on gaming motherboards, we have the Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 in for review. Hitting retail with an aggressive sub-£140 price tag, Gigabyte is aiming to lure in potential buyers with the Gaming 7 motherboard’s gaming-orientated features, striking colour scheme, and four-year warranty.
