what proc are you using and what are your temps like and at what speed? Do you have the max or the regular?
what are your temps at that speed, mine are hovering around 59 c because I am using the stock cooler due to my h100 suddenly crapping out, sent an rma request to corsair I wont hear from them til' at least tomorrow night and I also just bought another to use on my wife's pc once I transfer the parts from my 2500k system.
Around 65c with the noctua nh-d14, I am also using crap compound also.

that's kind of hot man even with the noctua, I am thinking watercooling is a necessity for this processor.

that is not hot on a 4770k. That's actually quite cool considering peoples chips hit like 80c on average when clocking.

well technically you are correct but I am so use to seeing my 2500k hovering around mid 20s idle and mid 30s load
Overall I am impressed with the board.
+Easy to overclock
+Fast POST
+Simple BIOS splash screen
+Bios has lots of tweaking features
+6 rear USB 3.0 Ports
+Lots of fan controllers/Motherboard keeps cool
+Wireless built in
+8 SATA 6 ports
I like the simple boot splash screen, and the bios is pack loaded with features. I would recommend to anyone looking to purchase a Haswell system.

I feel the same about my mpower board as well. It seems to me that mobo makers have stepped their game up so much this round that no matter which brand you buy, you're not really losing out. I did go the MSI route though because of the inclusion of wifi(was going to try out ASROCK oc formula but couldn't wait) and the ASUS boards were too expensive before I started to see any option of wifi. But overall I don't regret my purchase whatsoever, glad I didn't buy the mpower max though as the differences are minimal at best.

z87 pro is very good board so far except for intel raid controller im sure a bios update sooner or later will resolve the issues with the ssd drives.
