Asus Z87-K Motherboard Review – £100 budget friendly

3DMark is an essential tool used by millions of gamers, hundreds of hardware review sites and many of the world’s leading manufacturers to measure PC gaming performance.

Futuremark say “Use it to test your PC’s limits and measure the impact of overclocking and tweaking your system. Search our massive results database and see how your PC compares or just admire the graphics and wonder why all PC games don’t look this good.

To get more out of your PC, put 3DMark in your PC.”

The KFA2 GTX760 EX OC graphics card is very capable and the overall Direct X 11 performance in this benchmark is very strong indeed.

  1. The gold has always surprised me, it really is ugly on a board. Gigabyte nailed it this generation.

    That said, its a minor point when the product is t his good. one to not miss IMO. I know a lot of UK system builders are using them recently and it seems with good reason.

  2. Excellent – was wondering if this was any good or not.

    I can live with the gold colours, even if it is fugly

  3. Id like to see a review side by side of the gigabyte £100 board too.

  4. Nice, but I think id get the 4670k right now as the price is much lower, 4770k is very costly.

  5. I note none of these reviews seem to cover the included software the 87-k along with a lot of asus other boards have a problem and random crashing in win8.1 with aisuite 3 installed. asus seem to either dont know or wont answer the problem. This board is currently being rma’d to be replaced by a gigabyte z87 board

  6. I picked up one of these last year, I’m very happy with it. The price of this no-frills mobo meant I could spend more where I needed it most: i5-4670K, 32GB, GTX 760, runs sweet on a 3-monitor setup. And why is everyone obsessed with the colour? It doesnt matter if you have a green mobo with yellow spots, purple RAM cards, and a GPU with red and blue stripes – once the sides are on the case you can’t see it anyway!
