When you're the biggest mainboard company in town, it's right that you should spend time ‘shooting for the stars'. At the same time, you also need to think about customers who DO want the latest in Z87 chipset technology – but who don't want to spend the price of a laptop on their mainboard. KitGuru's cameras were invited along to the Asus Regional HQ for some engineer-led unboxing action. Here's the latest: The Asus Z87 Pro mainboard..

A lot of the software that comes bundles with modern boards will be similar. The question of what you can do with it will, largely, come down to the physical components available on the mainboard itself.

Moving from the more entry-level ‘A' and ‘C' models, the Pro does exactly what it says on the tin: It offers some professional class options in terms of physical hardware to enable overclocking the Haswell ‘K' processors. [yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IjGu3rc-rA']
