I was torn between this and the ASUS ROG HERO VI. For £10 I think I'm going to go with ASUS mainly because of fan expert 3 or 2 i don't remember. Anyway it saves me money on a Fan controller that would be around £30![]()

I'm also surprised that it scored so high in terms of value. It's presumably a motherboard aimed at gaming and yet in the review you pointed out that generally the motherboard makes less of an impact than the cpu and gpu. So from a gaming perspective how does it justify being 50% more expensive than the Gigabyte reviewed while producing almost the exact same results?
MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming = £157.04 from Scan.
GA-Z87-D3HP = £107.84 from Scan.
£157.04 != £107.84
The SATA ports, on-board buttons and killer Ethernet didn't seem to help it in gaming performance, which is surely what a 'Gaming' board is all about?
Also the KillerNIC seems to be more trouble than it's worth. You should get a discount for putting up with it.
That's not exactly true...The SATA ports, on-board buttons and killer Ethernet didn't seem to help it in gaming performance, which is surely what a 'Gaming' board is all about?

I give your comment 5/5 TinyTomThumbs! :lol: (yes, I think we should keep using these, thanks for posting them Feronix xD)No, obviously an ethernet port and buttons aren't going to make a CPU run faster. The buttons are there for convenience and the ethernet port ensures a more solid ethernet connection and reduce lag (granted it works properly). The Sata ports are there so you can add more drives.
No offense mate, but it seems like you just want to bash the board. That, or you just know very little about motherboards (in which case you still shouldn't bash if you don't know what you're talking about).
