If you are a system builder who will do some overclocking and gaming, would you consider this feature necessary? 

I plan to build a new system this summer and I am now looking for a Z87 motherboard. Most boards seem to have them,

but some, such as the Asus Sabertooth, don't. I don't know if this is a feature I should consider a requirement or not.

This feature would be great since you don't have to go searching up on the internet finding what the beep code means. You can just look at your manual and find the code that corresponds to the motherboard's manual and be able to diagnose and fix the problem easily and quickly.

Not essential but it's so convenient. After getting used to it on my Gene V I can't imagine buying a board without one.

I think the LED feature on any of the TUF series boards would ruin the aesthetic.

Ok ;). I would like it since I am a sucker for lights lol. But also for the convenience.
