ASRock Z87 OC Formula Motherboard Review

Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third instalment and a reboot of the True Crime series.
As a result of the game’s high development budget and delays, it was cancelled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

Sleeping Dogs allows the Z87 OC Formula to show more of the same strong gaming performance. The ASRock board takes another top place by virtue of alphabetical order.

  1. wow that is awesome, looks stunning too!

  2. This board looks great – good price point too, which I always like with ASROCK. plenty of detail luke, thanks for review

  3. I just ordered one, hard to find here though, they need to work on their distribution

    They are always well priced, they dont seem any worse than MSI, GB or ASUS either in my own tests, but it all depends on what board you get I guess.

  5. Not the Formula I am looking forward to but I might go with this after trying out Asrock’s Fatal1ty Z77 and loving it. Not to mention that 9.5 rating.

    That fan though >.<

    It's forcing me to wait for the other Formula (VI) before I can decide.

    Thanks for the review ^^

  6. Got the ac version of this from Overclockers abour four weeks ago. Just waiting on my custom cable extensions to arrive from Pexon to get my build started. If it is half as good as my X79Extreme11 in my main rig it will be epic

  7. Hi Luke,… was wondering. Is the PLX8605 embedded on the Z87 OC Formula AC driven from the CPU? or is it driven from the extra PCIe lanes provided by the Z87 Chipset? (I’m guessing from the lane configurations that it is the Z87? which would mean you could operate 2-way SLI without any latency?……) Thanks for any help you can provide.
