£157 is a massive bargain for the features it provides. Lovin' the fact that they provide 8 SATA 6 ports and improved on board audio.

Awesome review as always TTL

Great review Tom, can't wait to see what the MPower brings in comparison. As for the CPU temps, looks like we could see delidding again due to the temps. It's a shame intel haven't addressed that issue

Christ-a-mighty TTL! GTX780, GTX770, Haswell and now a new motherboard review. Have you slept at all in the last few weeks?

Guess you misunderstood me. I was more like in awe that youve put out this many major reviews in such a short period of time and that youve probably worked a whole lot more than youve slept the last few weeks. Basically meant as a compliment.

This is on my shopping list.

nice review (as always- thanks) and nice motherboard

the only comment I'd make ref CPU temps - I completely agree with what you are saying about the fact that games don't raise temps anywhere near the CPU temps that are reaching during OCCT etc - but I do find with my 3770k that if I do any video encoding in a software package that uses AVX- such as Handbrake - my CPU temps get to near that of the worst CPU stress-tests ...

Great review Tom , I really like the looks and features of this board.

Keep up the good work Guv.

Was going to get the ud4 but now I think I will get this instead as its cheaper has the features I want and colour scheme, really enjoyed the review.

I'm still waiting for the Sabertooth Z87 NDA to be lifted..

 

[Roooker]

I would like to see the normal GD65 to be redone with Z87.. The gaming edition boards look horrible imo

 

[.Griff.]

Are there plans for a GD80 version?

 

[bofeming]

Glad to see the price of this mobo and the features... ofc its a must buy.

Thank you TTL for your hard work. ^_^

All boards were the same time as the CPU. We just have not reviewed it for launch. TBH Im in no rush to do it either.

Ive done nd have the boards I like. Asus stuff this time is just the same old stuff, nothing new. All a bit "meh"
