Asus Z87-K Motherboard Review – £100 budget friendly

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell July 4, 2013 Featured Announcement, Motherboard

The Asus Z87-K ships in a very nondescript box focusing on the ‘5x protection'. For those interested this is

stable power control.
overcurrent protection.
ESD Guards.
High Quality Solid Caps.
Stainless Steel Back I/O.

This is a very spartan bundle, as we would expect at the tight price point. Asus bundle a user manual, software disc, I/O plate and a couple of SATA 6 Gbps cables.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!
