As part of our extensive series of in-depth videos around the top Asus mainboards that are being produced for Intel's 4th Generation Core processor, we take a look at the Asus Z87-A with an engineer from regional HQ. What does this board offer?

As you move from mainboard to mainboard, within any company's range, there will be a corresponding increase in performance around – say – the power control system.

Will that actually impact your ability to use the board?  In a lot of cases, the answer is no. Sure, if you want to engage in serious overclocking, then you will need to play with voltages – but a lot of people will not overclock at all – or only apply the kind of overclock you can get by tweaking the bus speed etc.

Have a look inside the highly affordable Asus 87-A with KitGuru:-

KitGuru says: While the ‘C' model provides an even lower cost model, there is no support for SLi. If you're an nVidia fan on a budget, then Asus has aimed the Z87-A squarely at you.

When you're the biggest mainboard company in town, it's right that you should spend time ‘shooting for the stars'. At the same time, you also need to think about customers who DO want the latest in Z87 chipset technology – but who don't want to spend the price of a laptop on their mainboard. KitGuru's cameras were invited along to the Asus Regional HQ for some engineer-led unboxing action. Here's the latest: The Asus Z87 Pro mainboard..

A lot of the software that comes bundles with modern boards will be similar. The question of what you can do with it will, largely, come down to the physical components available on the mainboard itself.

Moving from the more entry-level ‘A' and ‘C' models, the Pro does exactly what it says on the tin: It offers some professional class options in terms of physical hardware to enable overclocking the Haswell ‘K' processors.

KitGuru says: If you're looking for higher clocks with increased stability – without breaking the bank – then this product is aimed at you.

As the vast array of mainboards arrive in the market, one thing is for sure: There will be no shortage of choice with Intel's Haswell technology. A while back, KitGuru cameras were invited into the heart of Asus' HQ to find out more about the world's number one mainboard manufacturer's upcoming designs. We're starting at the top with the Asus Maximus VI – Extreme version.

While the videos we have for you on the Sabertooth, Pro, A and C variants on the Z87 mainboard are interesting, we decided to kick off with the all singing, all dancing Maximus VI.

As the name suggests, this is the 6th board to carry the name and it certainly aims to be a lot more advanced than its predecessors.

Enough with the intro, here's the mainboard itself – presented by an Asus engineer- in detail:-

[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP68-cqFe8M'] .

KitGuru says: It's an impressive box with plenty to get excited about. From the early reviews on KitGuru and elsewhere, it's clear that getting the best from Haswell needs a level of fine tuning that is degrees above what was needed with Sandy Bridge etc. With it's Maximus VI Extreme, Asus is taking no chances or prisoners.
