A little background history about myself, I've worked in a computer company building workstations, file servers, and PCs since 2002, joined the military in 2008, and just within the last year, started working on computers again. Of the last 12 years, I've personally owned many motherboards from Abit, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and DFI. Two of those brands are now defunct, but Asus has always been the board of choice for me. Starting last year, I've built a htpc based around an MSI z87-g43 that was just a get the job done board and my personal PC using an Asus Z87-Plus. The Asus Z87-plus has been an amazing experience. It's AI Suite for setting power management, and fan control is excellent, and after having my i7 4770k overclocked to 4.6Ghz without a single hiccup for the past 7 months reminded me why I love Asus Boards.
This board was purchased for my girlfriend's new pc. I haven't received the cpu yet for it, but I do have the rest of the parts laying around. I pulled the 4770k from my z87 pc and bench-tested this new board just to verify everything's good. Immediately I was surprised.
The new EFI BIOS is extremely well laid out. The first page tells you everything you need to know clearly. It's evolved from prior Asus EFI bios to a much nicer looking, more intuitive interface. The Advanced Mode still gives you all of the good old overclocking settings, but the best part is the refined EZ Tuning Wizard. In a step by step guide it asks you what type of applications you'll use your system for, then it goes to ask if your cooler is a standard hsf, "tower" hsf, or waterblock. After answering those questions, it informs you of a "target" clock and proceeds to tune your system. The waterblock settings provide a 30% overclock attempt to bring a 4770k to 4.

I have used ASUS motherboards for a long time. Each time either it is a Workstation, Premium or Deluxe variant of the given chipset. Since I never required two Ethernet ports, built-in Wifi and too many expansion slots. So this time I decided that let me go with simply Z97 board minus the frills but with 8-phase power for stable system even with overclocking as must.

This Asus z97-A perfectly fits the needs with great value pricing. It has the ASUS famous 5-way optimization and other valued added features that are part of the higher offerings but fewer expansion slots, one Ethernet port and no wifi. Hence the cost benefits.

The specs of my newly built rigs are:

ASUS z97-A motherboard
Intel core i5-4570 processor
Sapphire R9 270X, 2GB DDR5 with OC version
Corsair Vengeance Pro series 1866MHz 16GB kit
Crucial M500 SSD 120GB boot drive (many other HDDs as well)
Thermaltake 750W PS
Corsair mini ATX casing

Windows 8.1 and all my softwares installed with every single patch and updates without any single issue. The system is very responsive and a pleasure to use. I did not OC it so far. The UEFI BIOS seems very nice generally and feature loaded for OC.
I did not used the advertised Crystal Sound as I put my old Audigy 2 X sound card in it.

The motherboard performed as it is advertised and the built quality is top class that always goes with ASUS. I highly recommend this MB to anyone looking not to compromise on performance and quality but like to save some bucks.

My only reason for a four star rating is the MB came with just 3 GATA 6 cables and one header for connecting chassis connectors. May be this is to save cost but how much the company would save on it? Like to take half star out.

Build - Top notch Asus build quality, feels very sturdy, and has a great weight to it. The colors of the heatsinks are very different in the photos, it's a very nice soft gold, and a light silver at different angles.

Overclocking - I've got my 4670k running at 4.6ghz on 1.230v, paired with a Hyper 212 EVO. It tops out at 67c, and is very stable.
(This may vary with your CPU)

It has 3 PCI-E slots, and is capable of three-way SLI/Crossfire, but I wouldn't use the 3rd lane as bottlenecks the bandwith. The Asus quality is just amazing, and the BIOS is the best I've seen. If you are looking into a board that does what it does, but does not have all the blingy features, this would be the perfect board for you. Would buy again!

This product came in exactly as specified, and in the expected condition, which is to say, pristine and untouched. Came with all of the expected components. As for features, this thing has a ton including power management and fan control, which I cannot say I use, but that's because I don't need them right now. I can, however, confirm that they are there. Two PCIe slots, lots of SATA ports for those looking to brag at the speeds with which they transfer data, although it only comes with three SATA cables so if you're looking to connect more than a DVD drive and two hard drives to your motherboard, and they're all SATA interface, you need to buy the cables yourself. My only complaint? Can't figure out where the 'HD Audio' pins are for the front panel of my PC, but the back ports still work as expected, and I'm sure I will figure out that issue eventually.

A warning for potential buyers, however: You may have heard that this series of motherboards comes with a built-in wifi adapter. They do. This specific motherboard, however, does not. I knew this going in, but some people may think that they can get away with not buying a wifi card by purchasing this product. I can tell you right now, writing on the same computer the motherboard is installed in in: You either buy a wifi card, or you plug your router into the LAN port. There is no native wireless capability.
