This review is from: ASUS Z97-K/CSM LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: This board does exactly what its supposed to. Its a workhorse meant to take everything you throw at it, and do it efficiently.
Despite most people claiming it comes in DOA, the one i recieved was in absolutely perfect condition, the box was flawless, and the board was clearly undamaged. I plugged her in, and it worked right out of the box without any sort of issue.
Cons: As far as cons go, theres very few. The board itself has less features than most of its counterparts (Which is to be expected). Other than that, its perfect!
Other Thoughts: Like I mentioned above, the board came in and worked right out of the box. It was probably my most hassle free installation as far as motherboards go to be completely honest. Don't trust the bad review on this board!
This review is from: ASUS Z97-K/CSM LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: None at the moment as it is DEAD.
Cons: Been running this board in my Wife's gaming PC and it was great while it worked! Purchsed 08/07/2013 and yesterday it stopped posting. It wont even give a beep as to tell me what any error is!

This review is from: ASUS Z97-K/CSM LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Fits all components rather nicely, way better spaced than my last motherboard
Cons: Was DOA, although I doubt that was the mobo's fault
Other Thoughts: From what I saw, the motherboard looks awesome. Only problem is that when it arrived, the bottom left hand side of the box was completely smashed. After hooking it up to a PSU and a button for power, it wouldn't even recognize the power source. Looks like a nice motherboard, I just wish someone at the processing plant or at UPS hadn't tried to play Frisbee with it.

This review is from: ASUS Z97-K/CSM LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: This board looks like the perfect board for a low budget Socket 1150 build when looking on various websites.
Cons: This board was dead on arrival, Board would not recognize any power from the power supply, and would not boot up at all. Tested all other components on another motherboard, to find out this board was a dud.
Other Thoughts: I am currently going through the RMA process to return this board as defective, hopefully Newegg will process that in a timely fassion.

This review is from: ASUS Z97-K/CSM LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Good board on paper, Easy to install all components.
Cons: Wouldn't Post! Troubleshot it to death and could not get any video to come up or any post beeps. All other components worked on another rig, motherboard was the culprit.
Other Thoughts: Wish this wasn't DoA

This review is from: ASUS Z97-K/CSM LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: As an A+ certified tech (and field service tech for several major PC brands) I can say this board is laid out pretty decently and fired right up, even recognized my 1600Mhz Mushkin memory I had laying around I threw in it. A heatsink on the VRM and the primary SATA ports next to each other is a great idea. Price is not too high either.
Cons: The AMDA00 interface software from the Asus site fails to install. Best to install from the included CD.
Needs more PWM fan connectors. Only two seems cheap.
No mini PCI-E for a Wifi/BT card.
Other Thoughts: Good starter / no-frills Z97 offering.
A DOA board is a highly improbable circumstance, but it does happen. Don't knock a product just because you have one bad unit out of many.

This review is from: ASUS Z97-K/CSM LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Amazing and stable board. Don't let the previous review fool you. Having a DOA board come to you is a fluke and says nothing about the quality of the working product. This board is rock solid for just about anyone. It is geared toward the corporate business OR the user who still needs classic outputs, like VGA. The UEFI bios is amazing with a plethora of great options. Easy to overclock and easy to setup and tweak. UEFI allows super fine grain performance tweaking for maximum awesomeness. Again this board is geared for Corporate/users with classic needs, it's not meant to be a deluxe board and should not be reviewed as such. Get this board if you are a person who likes using single powerful video cards instead of dual setups. The quality and features of this board cannot be beat for the great price. By far the best bang for the buck!
Cons: None. This board excels at everything it is supposed to and provides what you need for a normal computer setup. Research your options before you buy, if you need SATA Express or some other fancy feature, choose a different board.

This review is from: ASUS Z97-K/CSM LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: This board has a list of nice features and the Z97 chipset. The physical layout works well, and the manual was decent to read.
Cons: The board was dead on arrival with no video. Swapped out all the parts into a replacement Gigabyte board and everything is working.
Manufacturer Response:
Greetings,
Thank you for leaving your review.
I am sorry that the motherboard was having issues displaying video. When you had the unit, did you make sure to update the BIOS of the motherboard? More than likely, this should have resolved the video issue that you were having. That said, if you have any questions about updating the BIOS of the motherboard or why the system would not boot, please respond back through email. Thank you. 3738709.
