Asus Z87-K Motherboard Review – £100 budget friendly

CINEBENCH R11.5 64 Bit is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.

CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

The Core i7 4770k is a powerful processor, especially when overclocked. At 4.5ghz the 4770k scores 9.75 points which is not that far behind the 6/12 core Xeon E5 2660 at default clock speeds.

  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!
