We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the Asus Z87-Deluxe/Quad motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.5GHz and memory speed was 2133MHz.
As a performance comparison, we have included the overclocked results from five other Z87 motherboards. The maximum overclocked configuration achieved with each board was a 4500MHz (45 x 100MHz) processor frequency and 2133MHz CL9 memory speed.
Overclocking the 4770K processor to 4.5GHz allows Asus's Z87-Deluxe/Quad to take a narrow performance lead in the 3DMark 11 benchmark.
Cinebench also shows a healthy response to the increased core frequency.
Modern games are typically GPU-limited, hence why Metro: Last Light shows little improvement, despite the 600MHz increase in CPU frequency.
They make great motherboards, but I never liked this gold colour scheme, its difficult to match up with other components in a windowed case. I prefer their traditional red ROG schemes.
I was going to buy this board as I have a few lightning drives which I also use on my macbook pro. its not a bad price considering the feature set.

In your Excellent review, you typed, “…A pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports is provided by a combination of Intel’s I217V chipset, as well as the RTL8111G from Realtek. Asus should make it easier for users to understand which Ethernet connection is fed by each controller..” I found a Great answer!
I just received my ASUS Z87-Deluxe/Quad motherboard, and it has an “Intel” sticker that covers the top of the ethernet output port (the one closest to the BIOS feedback button), that states in three lines ” Intel Ethernet, Great Capability, GBit LAN”. Then by default, the Ethernet port next to the Analog port is the Realtek port !
