Z87 Motherboards

Wow, I like!

[Willzzz]

Hmm, and this BitFenix case appears to make toast!

[Willzzz]

But I still prefer the Prodigy mATX!

Its all about the prodigy matx now. I need to find out when the release date will be. Atleast it opens a few more doors to which matx motherboard to buy.

But I still prefer the Prodigy mATX!

Upon looking further, that fan setup with the GPU looks as though it will cause some issues :/

Aye, the thing looks like a 'toaster' right enough, neat though.

The ASUS Maximus VI Hero looks like a steal considering the usual price of ROG gear. I'd love to wait for the VI Formula with its massive aluminium heatspreader but who am I kidding, it'll probably be +£240.

Edit:

Whoops, steel not aluminium.

can anyone tell me the diff between the gd65 and g45 by MSI, I'm going with the g45 atm but if it's worth the £30 more, I might upgrade.

Mainly stuff to make tweaking the BIOS easier, oh and a mSATA port.
Couple of extra SATA cables.

1 x mSATA port
1 x Multi BIOS Switch
1 x GO2BIOS button
1 x Power button
1 x OC Genie button
1 x Reset button
1 x 2-Digit Debug Code LED

MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming is the one to buy.

that is a sweet looking board. it's been catching my eye lately too.

Also a better VRM on the gd65, altold the Z87-G45 looks like a good board

Hmm is that worth the extra £30-40 though if you're not looking to do a lot of BIOS tweaking or are only looking for a modest overclock? The G45 seems a much better deal unless I'm missing something.

That Bit Fenix mATX case sure has tempted me away from the Corsair 350D. I'm liking the look of the new Asus M-Plus. Would go for the ROG line of stuff, but I really don't use any of the aditional features so pointless spending the additional £50.
