Asus Z87-K Motherboard Review – £100 budget friendly

After a delayed release from late 2012 to March 2013, the game received much anticipation and hype. Tomb Raider received much acclaim from critics, who praised the graphics, the gameplay and Camilla Luddington’s performance as Lara with many critics agreeing that the game is a solid and much needed reboot of the franchise. Much criticism went to the addition of the multiplayer which many felt was unnecessary. Tomb Raider went on to sell one million copies in forty-eight hours of its release, and has sold 3.4 million copies worldwide so far.

The system performs well in this game, averaging 47 frames per second and holding above 30 frames per second at all times.

  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!
