Oh that's just 3 actually, doh!
I would like to see some benchmarks of these z87 matx motherboards. Time will tell i suppose
I'm now looking at going matx for the first time. I just can't see what benefit a full form factor board gives for what I need now. There are some nice Z87 boards out now. The Asrock Z87 OC Formula looks like a nice board.

Yeah, it looks fantastic, however it is also expensive and not available.
I like the new look and colour scheme of the ASUS boards, but I'm curious as to what the Gryphon is about? You have the M-Plus, the Gene VI, so what is the Gryphon aiming to achieve?
Looking forward to some mass testing soon...
Yeah, I'm in between choosing the Gryphon and z87m Extreme 4 at the moment for my next build, leaning towards the Gryphon at the moment for the things like fan control and quality assurance. Though logically the Extreme 4 has more I/O and better sound for less. It'll probably be a last minute decision now.![]()
Z77 Extreme4-m? I did find the stage-PWM controll a bit tedious but not that bad.
The percentage based controll from MSI I must say is a lot better.
I got good experience with both MSI and AsRock. Can't imagine them to screw up a Z87 MoBo.
Asus Gryphon or Asus Maximus VI Gene. I'd go for the Gene if I was you, pretty good board, even better colour scheme... red and black![]()
I have currently been using the Asus Gryphon for around 2 months now. Awesome little board!
My Gigabyte board is also proving to be a wonderful bit of kit:
