ASUS Z87-A Motherboard
Conclusions
Contents
The ASUS Z87-A is a motherboard targeted to the average user who is building a mid-range computer using one of the new “Haswell” CPUs (fourth-generation Core i3, Core i5, or Core i7 processors).
The highlights of this motherboard include the presence of six USB 3.0 ports, six SATA-600 ports, two PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, a good voltage regulator circuit, and more. The audio codec used is more than adequate for the average user.
There is, however, one drawback with this motherboard, but it shouldn’t affect most users. It is regarding the PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, which works at x2 speed and you can’t use it with SLI and CrossFireX configurations, rendering it pretty much useless.
