While we run around with our hair on fire trying to get ready for the Intel Haswell and Z87 product launch this weekend, I wanted to let everyone know about a live stream event we will be holding on Tuesday, June 4th. JJ from ASUS, a crowd favorite for sure, will be joining us LIVE in studio to talk all about the new lineup of ASUS Z87 motherboards. We'll also discuss performance and overclocking capabilities of the new processor and platform.
ASUS Z87 and Haswell Live Stream
10am PT / 1pm ET – June 4th
PC Perspective Live! Page
Be sure you stop by and join in the show! Questions will be answered, prizes will be given out and fun will be had! Who knows, maybe we can break some stuff live as well?? On hand to give away to those of you joining the live stream, we'll have these prizes:
- 2 x ASUS Z87 Motherboards
- 1 x ASUS Graphics card
Methods for winning will be decided closer to the event, but if you are watching live, you'll be included. And we'll ship anywhere in the world!
ASUS and I also want the event to be interactive, so we want your questions. We'll of course being paying attention to the chat room on our live page but you'll have better luck if you submit your questions about the ASUS Z87 products and Haswell processors before hand, in the comments section below. You don't have to register to ask and we'll have the ability to read them beforehand!
I'll update this post with more information after the reviews and stories start to hit, so keep an eye here for more details!!

1. Why the choice to
1. Why the choice to incorporate the TUF color scheme on all the mainstream motherboards , especially the Deluxe, And will there be a return to the original colors in a future update.
2. From Sandy Bridge, Ivy, Socket 2011 and now Haswell, I always wanted to know, Why are Sabertooth mobos listed at rated max 1866 memory clocks when they can clearly perform at higher frequencies.
3. Off Topic: Price and Availability of the new 32 and 39 Inch 4K monitors and when can Ryan get his hands on a review sample.
4. Asus and Nvidia have a great relationship , especially in regards to the tablet business and the use of Tegra Chips, Does Asus have any plans to get into the Console Market and colaborate with the Green Team on a project such as that using desktop grade GPUs.
Ok what advantages are there
Ok what advantages are there to these new chips other then a smaller die and added gpu on chip i really don’t see what the point is? how long before we break these temp/power walls down and get some serious power? Thoughts?
when will you be releasing
when will you be releasing one of your new ROG tower computers for review ??? and what kind of pricing should be expected ???
What is the deal with the new
What is the deal with the new haswell power supply issue?
Do I need a compatable PSU just to use the new sleep states? Will an older PSU still atleast function just without those states?
sorry for my post I thought
sorry for my post I thought this was an ASUS site, that is what I get for not thoroughly reading the post !!!

Just wanted to ask a quick question about the wifi capabilities on the Z87 series (primarily the pro). I was wondering if the wireless dongle/antenna can be used also as some sort of access point or router for other wifi capable devices to access.
Thanks!!
1) How likely is it that this
1) How likely is it that this Z87 chipset will support Broadwell CPUs in the future?
2) Will 1155/1156 CPU coolers work with the 1150 boards?

Do the HDMI connectors on the
Do the HDMI connectors on the Haswell boards support HDMI 1.4b like the new Asus Nvidia 700 series GPU?
Do the new Asus z87 boards
Do the new Asus z87 boards have PCI legacy slots? Some highest-end sound cards still use PCI, like the Xonar ST (which I have). That would be necessary for me to upgrade!
Also, the boards which have 8 SATA slots – do they use 3rd Party Controllers with PCIe x1 interface (only 5Gb/s) or better, newer alternatives?
Thanks for this and I hope they’re answered!
