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...

High-end motherboards of any platform should come under strict scrutiny. The problem arises when one platform's ‘high-end' is the mainstream's ‘lower-mid-range'. What is a premium on this cheaper platform is par for the course on the mainstream, which is...
Great Aesthetics, PCIe 3.0 Support, Stable CPU Overclocking, Dual Graphics Support
Lacks GPU Overclocking, Legacy PCI Slots

Lots of Heat Dissipation, 3 PCIE x16 ports, Visually Appealing, Lots of onboard tuning (TPU, EPU, DirectKey, MemOK!), AI Suite III – Great Tuning Software
