Most Favorable Review

Very nice motherboard on a budget

ASRock Z87 PRO3 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Inexpensive; plentiful features; PCIE 3.0 x16 slot; flexible overclocking support and fan control.

Cons: Relatively minor -- mounting screws have spines that can chew ground etching on the motherboard (don't over-torque!); USB 3.0 connector was a bit flimsy.

Overall Review: I bought this motherboard as initial foray into the world of overclocking on a budget. The board is well labeled so the build was straightforward without any problems. The UEFI provided was quite flexible and allowed a lot of tweaks, some of which I used. A great buy for the money. It's been in operation for a few months and I have no complaints. Build: ASRock Z87 PRO3 Intel i7-4770K @ 4.4 GHz, 1.25v G.SKILL Ripjaws 2 x 8GB SDRAM DDR3 2400 EVGA GeForce GTX 770 CORSAIR HX750 750W (Note: this board only has one PCIE 3.0 x16 slot, so if you're thinking about SLI or similar, keep looking.)
