Asus Z97-Deluxe motherboard review: Feature-rich and Broadwell-ready, but wait before you buy this

With Computex 2014 just around the corner, one would have expected Intel's latest Z97 boards to be announced then. But Intel launched its Z97 chipset based boards a month earlier. A lot of motherboard makers are already out with their offerings.

The ASUS Z97-Deluxe board comes at a Rs 21,675 which is premium pricing for a premium board. In terms of feature set, ASUS has barely missed out on anything. The board checks off all the right boxes – great build quality, excellent software support...

Z97-Deluxe Refurb

Won't buy ASUS again because of their customer service

Board did as advertised

Board shipped without ASUS "Q" shield (backpanel) ASUS will not replace shorted items. Their answer is return it to your retailer. Finally figured out the P/N for the shield and ordered it from e-bay. Like the board from a performance standpoint but...

Don't beleive the negative reviews

This board also looks amazing. I love the new color scheme ASUS went with. I will be upgrading to Z170 and getting another Deluxe Board. I am formally a TUF series only kinda guy and I'm never looking back. I had a lot of issues with the Z77 Sabertooth...

Features. I LOVE THIS MOTHERBOARD!!! ROG gold Chokes. Both NIC cards are intel controllers. Sound card is grounded through seperate PCB channels. Supports 4-way SLI. Tons of expansion slots. XMP and TPU switches are actually working. Regular BIOS...

No reset CMOS switch on the outside of the motherboard. (On the back panel.) Supports 4 way SLI but only 3 way Crossfire X. I am running 2-way SLI on the board but still I would consider that a con. There is a reset switch on the actual board itself so...

Dat mobo tho...

Best motherboard I've ever had! Just about everything one could ever need

USB 3.0 slots didn't work until I installed the driver software (expected I guess). Also had an issue with drives randomly disappearing. I think I induced this and it only happened once or twice after plugging in an external hard drive while under...

Nice Board!

All boards have their issues and I spent a long time researching what I wanted out of my board. Fan control was a huge must for me and Asus pretty much owns the best fan control I have ever used. My 4790K runs great at 4.8ghz using a Phanteks cooler....

16 phase power ; M.2 support ; Great looking board ; Lots of SATA ; Sata Express ; Solid overclocker ; The best part about this board... Amazing Fan control .. True PWM on ALL fan headers

Auto overclock not even close to stable. set my 4790K @ 4.9ghz 1.375V... Found true stability manually.. 4.8ghz @ 1.31V. Not a true con but the board has a ton of features which can make bios settings a little cumbersome. Then again.. it's nice to have...

Good motherboard

easily installed. It was nice that zip ties were included and the different screws were in separate bags ; Easy getting into BIOS and inserting an i7 processor and memory

I wouldn't use the SATA cables that are included. They are very stiff to use
