Asus Z87-K Motherboard Review – £100 budget friendly

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


Grid 2 is the sequel to the racing video game Race Driver: Grid.  It was developed and published by Codemasters. The game includes numerous real world locations such as Paris, numerous United States locations, and many more, and also includes motor vehicles spanning four decades. In addition, it includes a new handling system that developer Codemasters has dubbed ‘TrueFeel’, which aims to hit a sweet spot between realism and accessibility.

    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!
