Biostar Z87X 3D Motherboard Review @ Bjorn3D

I do hate it when sites send in their "news" and litter the email with tracking codes.  Thunderbird claims it is a scam since none of the links go where they are supposed to. 

But, I digress.   It would appear that Bjorn3D has posted a review of the Biostar Z87X 3D.  The review is basically 2 pages but contains about 10 pages of text and a bunch of box shots.

Biostar is one of those names you hear about but not as common as the “bigger” players in the component game but regardless of this they have a decent share in the more cost conscious market which is actually a very large segment to live in. Also on previous mainstream enthusiasts boards I have been rather impressed with the performance/price ratio the Biostar boards are able to pull in comparison to some of the higher priced competitors.
 
Today we have Biostar’s top Z87 model which integrates their HiFi audio solution for a great audio experience should you use this for a multimedia or gaming board this one should be up for the task.
 
The one thing that did surprise me is the lack of SLI support which means your talking single Nvidia card or crossfire depending upon your needs, but from what i have seen many users utilize a single card setup anyways especially budget builds so this may be a great low cost solution for a low cost gamer.

Considering that SLI certification costs money I'm not suprised, it also makes building the board cheaper since they won't need to worry about lane allocation.
