Hi-Fi Z87X 3D Software

Fast And Cheap? Five Sub-£140 Z87 Motherboards For Enthusiasts
By

Biostar’s TOverclocker utility changes slightly from our previous description in response to the Z87 platform’s alterations.

We were able to verify CPU core voltage, multiplier, and base clock functions. Other settings appeared to work, but were difficult to verify.

Besides showing system status, the H/W Monitor menu also contains a CPU fan speed override from firmware-based control.

Biostar Smart Ear 3D controls the motherboard’s 3D audio virtualization.

Bio-Remote 2 allows users to control their PC from a smart phone, and use that same device as a mouse or PowerPoint presenter.

Other Biostar programs such as its BIOS Update and Green Power utilities remain unchanged from our previous round-up.

    I just bought Asrock z87 Extreme4 mainly because it has all connectors i want and XfastRAM utility. But i was very surprised and disappointed with fan regulation.
    Despite of 6 connectors i had trouble to connect only 4 3-pin case fans because only 2 connectors can control fan speed. 3rd connector has 4 constant levels. Another 2 are PWM connectors and there is no option in UEFI to make them control 3-pin fans. Last connector can supply 12V only.
    So i used Y cable to control 2 identical fans, and set constant speed on hdd cage.
