Not the cheapest Z87 motherboard by a long chalk. But when it comes to components, like most things in life, you get what you pay for. & the As Rock Z87 Extreme 4 motherboard is definitely worth paying for. What You Get Fast performance, quality components & packed with features. That’s the Z87 Extreme 4. Remote Wake The Z87 supports Home Cloud allowing remote access. No matter where you are in the world you are able to connect with your home computer. Control your PC from another computer or smartphone. So, if you’re at work & want to finish watching that video you downloaded last night…no problem. Unless the boss sees it of course. Purity Sound Make your audio pop with As Rock’s Purity Sound™ technology. Booming bass, less distortion & crisp sound. Perfect for music & games. Intel Z87 The Intel Z87 Chipset, in Intel’s words, ‘delivers superior responsiveness.’ Yes, it’s fast & is ideal for overclockers looking to boost the performance of unlocked fourth generation processors. The Z87 Extreme 4 supports 4th Generation Intel Core™ i 7 / i 5 / i 3 / Xeon / Pentium / Celeron in LGA1150 Package. Connect With HDMI-In One of the coolest features of the As Rock Z87 motherboard. Connect your monitor to the motherboard & your console / tablet / smartphone to the HDMI-In port. You can then easily switch between your computer screen & your device. Seriously Cool It’s easy to control your fans with the tuning function. The easy graphical interface means that you can monitor & adjust cooling. As well as heat humidity can be a serious problem. It is easy for humidity to build up & that can cause damp. Which is a serious problem as it can cause short circuits. But the Z87 Extreme 4 has got it covered. The high density glass fabric PCB design reduces the gap between the layers of printed circuit boards to increase the protection against short circuits. Add, to add to your systems defence against damp, As Rock’s dehumidifier can also be enabled. All That Glitters There’s nothing like gold. & the Z87 Extreme 4 uses premium gold caps. Made in Japan the solid capacitors with the gold coating are extremely durable & will ensure long-lasting & reliable performance.
