Abstract: An energy friendly HTPC or a monster gaming gaming PC: with the latest generation of mini ITX motherboards anything is possible in a small form factor case. We tested a total of 15 ITX boards for Intel Haswell processors, in a price range of 50 to 200 p...
Abstract: In our comparison tables, meanwhile you find benchmark values regarding 43 recent Z97 and Z87 motherboards. Furthermore we do not comment the benchmark values. The idea and also the goal is to present to you a market overview which helps you choose the ri...
There's a lot to like here with the Z97i-Plus; it has M.2 - something many of its rivals lack, plus sports 802.11ac WiFi and an antenna in the box. It has plenty of overclocking potential and the removal of the large VRM daughterboard has most likely resu...

Excellent software suite, Full ATX-level performance, Impressive pricing, Miraculous M.2 inclusion, WiFi and Bluetooth combo card
Rear I/O needs better antenna placement, Audio could be improved with ALC 1150, TPM header seems like a waste of space, Heatsinks get quite hot, especially under overclocking,

Abstract: Motherboards don't provide performance themselves, but like their parental namesakes, they enable it by allowing quality components to reach their full potential. That unlocked Intel K-series or AMD Black processor performs exactly the same as its cheaper...
Abstract: Of all the different types of motherboards out there, it's the mini-ITX ones that tend to pique my interest the most. I say this as someone who's never built a proper mini-ITX PC, or even has a need for one. I just find it intriguing to see what vendors c...
When we first looked over the Z97I Plus we felt it had great potential for performance as well as overclocking. Although we did not see the performance levels we had hoped for, we did see some very solid overclocking with the Z97I Plus pushing our 4770k t...
