The last few series of Mobos have far to many models, its crazy.

Very true and there's still a few yet to be released in the Z97 range. Asus alone have at least another two in the formula and extreme on the way.

The high end Rogs will not be here till June/July going by past years.

Yep, i bought the formula on release, though the hero etc had been out for a month or so. Unsure wether to go to Z97 or not at present.

Devils canyon is calling you mate. If you do go Z97 I would not spend as much on the mobo as you did with the formula, the hero or even the ranger will clock just as well as the bling boards.

Heres hoping devils canyon will work on Z87 as im extremely happy with the current mobo, cpu is a bit poor though.

Gigabyte's Sniper is red now? Yawn. And there is no mATX version? Sadness.

They will be out around Computex. Launching at the event.

There is a crazy range of motherboard's from some companies. I am waiting to see reviews as there is a rather large price difference between the Gene and other 'gaming' mATX boards.

Want to buy a Gene today haha, but I am talking myself out of it. Especially as I won't have CPU for it until DC launches.

Betcha Asus mess up the Flagships again like current Z87's, the Z68 and Z77 were nicer.

EVGA looks good for a change E-ATX (can use top GPU slot with big heatsinks unlike ATX) and Heatpipes for Cooling in Chipset.

I should not have bought this set up so late on (Jan 2014) as I had a 2700k+Z68 Rog.

ASUS did not mess up this generations flagship boards where do you get this info from. My M6E has lasted the full generation. The same board has won several OC Competitions. Only two weeks ago I qualified for the finals of the GSKILL competition using M6E.

This was my favourite high end Z87 board with the Gigabyte OC being my favourite mid range.

many many many times, until I was blue in the face. I think they got fed up of listening too.

In the exact same boat, I knew it was going to be around the £160 mark. But I thought the other boards would be of similar price not the neck end of £40 cheaper. This being my first decent board, I normally spend £40 on a whole board lol.
