Pros & Cons
Pros
Asus sabertooth z87 is a sweet piece and i would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid motherboard for an upgrade or new build. Bought this motherboard as the foundation for a new build desktop. Couldn't be happier.
The mobo comes with 2 optional mini fans that are able to be placed on the board. The little motherboard fans are a bit odd, but they work well and they do seem to keep the system cooler. My old gtx 560i,corsair 750 watts p/s, fit in my corsair spec-0... Read More
Tuff fortifier is something i wish all mobos had. Overclocked just fine for not being advertised as an overclockers preferred choice mobo. The bios/uefi is great and packed full of features and offers extreme features to overclock your cpu.
This board is the best in terms of stability, setup, hardware connectivity and features of any i've dealt with. The best part is the ease of setup and the thought that went into this board. This board has alot of the bells and whistles of other more e... Read More

Highlights
Quality
Feels very sturdy with the materials built in.
Love the metal body that makes me feel a quality product when i am holding it.
Upon mb removal, you could see thermal paste on the socket, on spots on the front side of the board and what looked like finger... Read More
After installation and 6 months of ownership, i cant think of a single bad thing.
Price
This motherboard was a great deal at the time i purchased.
Overall, this is a good value and really, really looks cool to show off if you are in to that sort of thing.
My pc is on 24/7 so it's not a big deal.
Shipping
Jan 21/2014 update:ok, got sent my replacement board from amazon a few days ago, and this time everything was in the box.
To start, the item was out of stock for several days, but i patiently waited since i ordered right after christmas.
Packaging/appearance
Looks:i personally love the dark armor look of my mother board.
This board looks awesome in my lovely corsair 650d!
So i moved the mb from the box and found the manual, so i looked thru what was in the box, and found a crap load of items missing.
So i am going to hazard a guess that this was a unit, sent to someone, who used too much thermal paste, bent his mb pins, kept ... Read More
Competitiveness
This was the easiest mobo to setup.
This board was such an upgrade compared to my old asus motherboard that held my 1st gen i7.
I tried different drives from ssds (ocz and samsung) to hdd (western digital to samsung).
Haswell runs hotter when overclocked compared to sandy bridge and a tiny bit worse than ivy bridge.
