Premium “Gaming” Motherboards – Are They Worth it? ATX vs ITX Z87 Test

Expensive overclocking and gaming motherboards. What do they really bring to the table? We took what we feel is possibly the best Z87 motherboard on the market (all bells and whistles included) and put it head to head in a real-world scenario (H100 cooling, no LN2) against the most barebones Z87 we could get our hands on. These results may shock you.
