Pros: The motherboard looks good but it has its own flaws. The wireless function of this mother works great and you don't have to work hard to get it working and the connectivity is excellent.

Cons: The motherboard started giving problems after six months. Since I have read many complaints from several owners of this motherboard, I decided not to worry myself about calling the manufacturer for a replacement. The motherboard right now will not start outright but, on a lucky day, after several restarts It will. At times, it will not work at all and I will have to shut the computer down. After going through the manual I found out that the motherboard was experiencing a hardware failure.

Other Thoughts: I will not recommend this motherboard to any serious installer.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

We appreciate you taking the time to inform us on your ASUS experience. Please accept our sincerest for the inconvenient experience. Have you already tried testing your motherboard outside of your case on a non-conductive surface to check for a possible short in your chassis? Clear CMOS and see if the board will POST. If it will not, pull one memory module and place the other stick in the slot furthest from the CPU and see if that helps. Please make sure to complete the power off cycle before testing hardware to avoid damaging your hardware. I would recommend flashing to the latest UEFI if you can get the board to POST for optimal system stability. If you have any further questions you can contact me directly at cl-nestor@asus.com.

Thank you for choosing ASUS!

Best Regards,

Pros: ASUS Z87-Pro, i7-4770K, 4x8GB G.Skill Sniper F3-1866C9D-16GSR, WIN-7 Ult 64bit
Bought 12/2013. Working perfectly, working fast, never an issue.

Cons: No cons

Pros: ASUS is a reputable company and has been around for a long time.
Several USB ports and supports USB 3.0. BIOS is easy to use and update. Affordable and stable. 4 DIMM slots with dual channel support. ATX design with options and room to add-on extra cards.
Runs Windows 10 64 bit smoothly, no issues with the board since upgrade, and occasional driver or OS issue (W10 bugs) that in a week or so disappear with MS updates.

Cons: At this time this board has been running strong for 6 months without any problems.

Other Thoughts: This is the 2nd build with this board and both systems are running great, so I recommend this board to others.
I would use this board again (or one that may supersede it).
Be sure to update the BIOS.
This board comes with software to over clock it while logged into Windows. I do not OC so I can comment on how it works.

Pros: - Lots of options for various things you might want to use
- A colour scheme that I personally like
- Owned for Over 2 years without a single issue
- Updating the bios is quick and painless
- Lots of settings to play around with

Cons: Quite a bit of bloatware with fairly gimicky features and poorly created software comes on the install cd, but hey you don't have to install much of it if you don't wan't to and you still get 99% of this boards functionality

Other Thoughts: Awesome MOBO that is perfect for my mid sized gaming rig, I've run both 7950's crossfire and 980tis in sli on this thing and while you won't get the most space between the cards it's not really an issue provided you have good airflow in your case. Out of the box I had some random Crossfire/ATI issues but the quick and painless bios updates fixed that no problem.

Pros: It is supposed to be a great motherboard, if it works.

Cons: It died in the middle of OS installation, after running for only about 1 hour. The computer shut off and would never come back on again.

Other Thoughts: RMA with this marketplace seller is taking forever and they aren't communicating well about it.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your helpful feedback. It's unfortunate to hear that your Z87-PRO Motherboard has failed on you after just 1 hour of use. Have you tried disconnecting your PC from the electrical outlet and Re seat your CPU/other components? What are your system specifications? Please email me at cl-nestor@asus.com. I'd like to know more about the issues you are experiencing so we can try to troubleshoot your problem. Please refer to this number N151075611 in regards to your case.

Thank you for choosing ASUS!,

Pros: lots of features, many of which seem to work

Cons: Qty 2 have been nothing but trou

Other Thoughts: First board install - CPU fail LED. Swap PSU, no change. Swap I7 for I5 CPU, no change. Swap for identical mobo, fired right up. All build components used were brand new right out of box.
Second board install - Win 7 seemed to install ok. Installed drivers and ASUS Utility AI Suite 3. LAN worked long enough for Win 7 to do its 200 updates then died. Reinstalled LAN driver several times - LAN still dead, "can't get valid IP"
Next problem - CPU overheat. Reboot keeps often pushes me into BIOS following "CPU overheat" warning. Since I can't figure out what they think I can do in BIOPS to solve, I exit to Windows. Monitor CPU temp and fans Using their AI suite, CPU temp often ramps up and then back down.
Did the first mobo blow the I7 I've got installed?
Do I reinstall the I5 I original used for troubleshooting the first and second Z87 PRO? How's this going to fix the LAN?
LAN seems to be problem one - I'll file a second ASUS support request
Look - I've built 20 computers in the last 10 years. I don't 'tune' them in any way. I just plug the parts in and let them go and never had any problem with any mobo (or uP or mem for that matter) b4. Everybody seems to rave about ASUS mobo's and I may or may not have used them b4. This has been, and remains, a very frustrating experience. Hence I post my first review ever.

Pros: Worked fine for about two months.

Cons: I still have no RMA. I spent about 7-8 hours on the phone with about 6-7 reps on several days with no result. I could not provide the SN since it was cut out from the box for Asus rebate. The reps were giving different info as to where the SN can be found on this MB. But all this was incorrect. When I asked for a supervisor the agents did not transfer me under various pretexts. One said that the supervisor would call me back. But no one called. Twice they just hanged on me without explanation. So far I am left with a bad board, wasted time amd money, no RMA, and the conviction of not going for Asus ever again.

Other Thoughts: As I understand from the reviews customer support seems to be a problem not only with this company. One of the reps said that they have many cases involving unavailable SNs. There are simple resolutions to this problem but apparently they are not moving forward with it.

Pros: I have never had issues with any of ASUS's products.

Cons: Arrived DOA, motherboard pci slots seemed to be half an inch too far to the right of Rosewill Thor case pci slots. Caused the computer to shut off after 2 seconds, then it would turn back on and shut off continuously. After fixing this issue, i5 4690k was locked at 800mhz and even after changing bios settings. Very disappointed with this product as I have never had issues with ASUS products, unfortunately this will be my last purchase from them.

Pros: works

Cons: The SATA port connectors are pointed to the sides instead of up so if you have a mid-tower or a case that would be somewhat tight, it is a pain to plug in the SATA cables. Probably need a full-size giant tower for it to not be a pain.

Default motherboard settings won't recognize a DVD drive or USB for the purpose of booting a Windows install disc/usb-stick. The number indicator on the MB telling me the error number was not helpful in this situation.

Pros: Board has been stable.

Cons: CMOS battery died after about a year. Can't remember the last time this has happened and I've had a lot of boards.

Other Thoughts: Like most Asus boards, this is pricey for what you get. I would have expected better quality from this product. I am going back to Gigabyte. They seem to have solved their boot loop issues for the most part.
