Intel DZ87KLT-75K Pro Reviews

Intel’s Desktop Board DZ87KLT-75K isn’t really missing anything essential, unless you were planning on connecting a trio of monitors using the on-chip graphics. It’s also a nice-looking board to our eyes, with the black of the PCB contrasting nicely with the metallic-blue heatsinks. The color scheme here may not be as original as the gold accents of Asus’ Z87-Deluxe. But to our eyes, at least, the Intel board looks more aesthetically pleasing.For those with legacy devices that require a PCI slot or a FireWire port, the DZ87KLT-75K will also hold extra appeal. But we think those folks are probably a small minority at this point. At least from the point of view of PCI, if you’re willing to shell out for a premium motherboard and a Haswell chip, at this point we suspect you’re willing to dish out for a newer, PCI Express-enabled solution to replace whatever PCI relic you’re hanging on to.

Throw in both Bluetooth and N-spec WLAN, and you've got yourself a nice package and one of the better Intel boards in recent memory, but not one we'd want to buy. We won't exactly be dancing on Intel's grave, but nor will we be shedding too many tears.
