The nice thing about the Gigabyte Z87X-OC is that Regardless of your CPU quality there are options available to get the most from your CPU, video card and memory.

Small form factor PC’s have been gaining a lot of momentum and favor with hardware enthusiasts and hardcore gamers these past couple of years. Since more features are integrated into the CPU in recent releases, it means more real estate has been made on ITX form factor motherboards for extras that may well have not fit previously. With the release of Intel Haswell CPU’s and Z87 chipset, motherboard vendors are now more than ever able to condense the features of a full size ATX motherboard into the ITX form factor without much (if any) sacrifice. See for yourself, take a look at an average Z68 or Z77 ATX motherboard and you will start to notice just how much space isn’t occupied. In this article Benchmark Reviews takes an in-depth look at the ASRock Z87E-ITX motherboard, reporting back on special features and performance as well as giving a visual commentary on the aesthetics of this tiny beast.

The Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5 is a high-end socket LGA1150 motherboard targeted for the "Haswell" processors (fourth-generation Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 processors). Its main highlights include the presence of a professional grade audio circuit, two Gigabit Ethernet ports (one of them being a high-end Killer E2200 controller chip), Wi-Fi interface, and more.

The ASRock FM2A85X-ITX is a very nice ITX motherboard that can serve as a solid basis for an HTPC or even a home server thanks to the presence of eight SATA ports. The specifications and performance of the board are all in order, and only the idle power usage could be a little lower. Nevertheless, the FM2A85X-ITX remains an excellent motherboard.

ASUS’ newest TUF motherboards are built on Intel’s new Z87 chipset, for the new Haswell-based LGA 1150 CPUs. The TUF line emphasizes reliability and durability rather than a cornucopia of consumer features or the ability to reach heroic overclocking levels. Can an enthusiast love the SABERTOOTH Z87? Benchmark Reviews checks this board out to see what makes it special enough to include in your next rig.

Wahnsinn! So könnte man das brandneue ASRock Z87M OC Formula Mainboard für Intel Haswell CPUs wohl im kürzesten Mainboard Review aller Zeiten mit nur einem Wort beschreiben.
Getreu dem Motto nutze den Platz konnten wir nur staunen, was auf so einem kleinen Z87 Micro-ATX 8-Layer PCB Mainboard untergebracht werden kann und vor allem welche genialen Optionen sich ASRock bei dieser LGA1150 Hauptplatine für Übertakter ausgedacht hat.
Overclock Enthusiasten werden spätestens beim Blick in das UEFI Setup Freudentränen in den Augen haben, insofern verwundert es auch nicht, daß ASRock mit dem Z87M OC Formula unseren Overclocking Dream Award 07/2013 locker verdient hat.
Im folgenden ausführlichen Testbericht schauen wir uns das ASRock Z87M OC Formula genauer an und übertakten damit eine Intel Core-i5 4670K CPU.

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.

As part of the ROG series, the ASUS Maximus V Formula ThunderFX comes absolutely loaded for the most complete gaming and enthusiast experience possible. The ASUS Maximus V Formula leaves no aspect overlooked with the highest quality onboard components seen on a motherboard, and an audiophile class outboard sound card with headphone amp and multiple platform capabilities. At the heart of the Formula is the Z77 chipset, offering two each SATA 6G and 3G and four USB 3.0, with an ASMedia controller adding four additional SATA6G and USB 3.0 headers. The 8-Phase Extreme Digi II+ VRM gets a hybrid heatsink with heatpipe and liquid cooling capabilities to keep the board running cool. To further help this along, the Formula’s extremely rigid PCB is slightly oversized, allowing for better component spacing and heat dissipation. The Formula is 2-way SLI and 3-way CrossfireX ready, with PCIe slots spaced in order to give your multiple cards extra airflow. Should you be using the ThunderFX elsewhere, the Formula’s Supreme FX IV uses hyper-grounding along with audio specific ELNA caps to provide the best onboard audio that we have heard to date. The included mPCIe combo card comes with dual band WiFi/Bluetooth 4.0 preinstalled, and is ready to accept an mSATA component in the second slot. Rounding out the connectivity is an Intel Gigabyte LAN built onboard.
