Asus Z97-A @ LanOC Reviews
 

With the Z87 launch, Asus made a few big changes with their mainstream motherboard line, the biggest being the change to the gold color scheme. That change came with a mixed response but the high quality and big feature set that Asus includes on all of their boards they were still very popular. With the Z97 launch, they have stuck with the gold theme but they have softened the color slightly to make it a little less polarizing. Today I will be taking a deeper look at the Z97-A, one of Asus's mid ranged mainstream boards. I can't wait to see what they changed for the Z97 launch and to see how the softer gold looks as well.
