Everything Asus wasn't able to deliver on Z97
08/11/2014
This review is from: EVGA Z97 Classified 152-HR-E979-KR LGA 1150 Intel Z97 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
I'm a Asus fan, always been an Asus motherboard user but on Z97 they weren't able to deliver to meet my needs. PLX chip to get most of my graphics cards as I can through PCI-lanes, The PLX chip on this board is cooled by the massive heatsink while Asus PLX chip have no heatsink making the chip goes higher in temperatures. optional 6 and 8 pins connectors to get more power from my power supply for better overclocking. Really solid components used to make the board and get very stable experience, overclocking and performance. I prefered mSATA over M.2 because mSATA don't draw PCI-Express potential from my graphic cards.
Cons:
I prefered the Asus softwares and color scheme.
Overall Review:
I chose this motherboard over Maximus VII Hero and Maximus VII Formula for performance, stability and hardware features.
