ASUS Z87-PLUS

Hi,

 

Any of you guys/gals own this mother board? If so, how is the on-board sound? Also, what's your overall impressions of the board?

 

Thank you!

I have the Z87 Pro which is either one or two above the PLUS and it fits my need perfectly. Has great overclocking potential (4.6 with my 4670k no problem) and all the features I care for.

 

I'm using a USB headset so I can't comment on the sound, but I bet everyone will tell you to get a soundcard, even if it's not expensive as it will be better than the onboard sound. If you want better onboard sound, I'd look into the ROG boards.

Yes, I'll probably be using headphones or my pair of ear buds for the sound.

 

Thanks, man!

i had this board for a couple of weeks. sold it because i was not satisfied with the overclocking capability.  sold it on ebay for $80.00 US including shipping.

i never did try the onboard sound.

 

if you really want asus i would suggest the Z87 pro or better as your cheapest solution, better yet get an MSI GD-65 or better.

Hi ProKoN,

 

I do not plan on over-clocking. I am only interested in the Z87 board for it supposedly having a better NIC (Intel) and audio. I dunno. I am still looking around at boards and certainly don't plan on spending too much on one. However, that pro version does has some nicer features. 

 

Thanks!

Anyone else?

 

I'm seriously considering this board (and about 15 others  :wacko: ).
