By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also che...

Abstract: I've taken a look at two mini-ITX Z97 motherboards over the past month from ASUS and MSI which helped proved that “small” doesn't have to mean “lackluster”, and now, I'm going to take a look at a model that resides on the opposite end of the spectrum. It'...
4-Way GPU Support (SLI FTW!), Voltage test points, Matte Black Finish, SATA Express, Power IR Digital PWM, Killer Networks E2201, Awesome Onboard Audio (Best!), Gold Everywhere
Onboard power required to activate PCI Express slots, Heatsinks could benefit from active cooling, New UEFI is painfully slow

Combination Air or Liquid Cooled VRM Heatsink, Colors, WiFi/Bluetooth, SATA Express, 4Way SLI/Crossfire, Audio Up, Dual BIOS, 7 Fan Headers, Dual LAN
Sometimes Unresponsive BIOS, WiFi Module is Useless when using 4Way, Power/Reset Button and Debug on Top Right Corner of Board, Lack of Room at Top Left Corner of VRM Heatsink to Screw in Heatsink/Fan Combo
I started doing this a couple reviews ago and had a lot of positive feedback on it. So I think I will continue. I will first go over my dislikes about the Gigabyte Z9X Gaming G1 WiFi Black Edition and then proceed to the likes, just because it has alway...
AMP-UP Audio design for customized Hi-Fi sound, Support for up to four VGAs in SLI or CrossfireX, Both KillerNic and Intel LAN controllers included – get the best of both worlds, Built-in MOSFET watercooling support – just add the fittings of your choice,
High, but justified price close to $400, WiFi support not possible if you use four VGAs, Power consumption a bit elevated, Too perfect: This board deserves to be framed and displayed like a trophy, not to be used in your PC
The Gigabyte Z97X-GAMING G1 WIFI-BK is available for around $370 - $390 at various online retailers. AMP-UP Audio design for customized Hi-Fi sound Support for up to four VGAs in SLI or CrossfireX Both KillerNic and Intel LAN controllers included – get th...
