UzumakiNaruto · Oct 31, 2013

Which one to get, I was planning to get H87 Pro4 but didnt find reviews from users about it to convince me

Anas Bashar · Oct 31, 2013

what CPU do you have? plan on SLi or Xfire?

UzumakiNaruto · Oct 31, 2013

Rest of build are
Intel Core i5-4570 Haswell 3.2GHz 6M LGA 1150 Processor
Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 1.65v
Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 1.65v
Western Digital (WD) Caviar BLUE WD10EZEX 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache HDD
Cooler Master K380 Mid Tower Desktop Case
SeaSonic S12II Bronze 520W 80 PLUS Certified PSU
ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost OC 2GB GDDR5

So i don't plan to overclock so i don't Z87 boards so H87 my best option right ?

for your current build, both the mobos you mentioned are ok.
but i would recommend a Z87 chipset mobo. Z87 can do SLi on the PCI-e3 slots, H87 cannot.
in addition, with the Z87 can OC a CPU you might get later on, and it have more I/O ports in general.
this Mobe is great, it is only $10 more http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157372

good luck

But as Brand Asus or Asrock & there are H87 board support SLI ?

that fatal1ty mobo from Asrock has support for OC K series procesors ( the ingeniers use a found bug to unlock that feature)
fatal1ty series from Asrock always has good features(even on nonZ chipset)

H87 chipsets does not support splitting the 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes, that is why these mobos have one PCIe 3.0 X16 slot.

interesting, sounds cool, i haven't heard about such thing though, thanks

Anas Bashar :

it also has 2 PCIex16 slots ,support for crossfire too, but the second one working at 4x electricaly, so droping performance, but still interesting

true, i didn't mention the xfire support on the second PCI X4 since he already have an Nvidia card.
