There is no issues with cooling at all! Im saying its a motherboard desgined for top of the range gamers who over clock, over clocking increases the heat in te computer and this motherboard has a thermal cover with fans, seen in the below link

If you not overclocking eveything its not worth the money, go for a cheaper Asus mother board such as the below which is cheaper and you can spend more money on a GPU

ASUS Z87-PLUS Mainboard

Case dimension : 9.1 x 20.2 x 20.5 inch. Form Factor : Micro-ATX, ATX

GIGABYTE SNIPER : E-ATX Form Factor; 30.5cm x 26.4cm

So the MB wont fit in your Case.

ASUS will fit : 12 inch x 9.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm ) ATX Form Factor.

So I would suggest you Sabertooth Z87

Ok. Regardless of chassis, which MB is recommended. Price range of Asus Extreme - IV and Gigabyte Sniper are almost same.

Asus sabertooth Z87 is an amazing motherboard for serious rigs, it should come with a cover to help with cooling and it has everything you need plus more, its only worth the money if you getting top of the range everything and you going to be over clocking everything. If not i would stick with asus and go for a cheaper gaming motherboard.

Thanks for your guidance. One more Q. There is a marginal price difference between Z87-Expert and Z87-Sabertooth but expert has thunderbolt port, more overclock options in memory than saber. Which one is recommended then pl.

If you getting the 2400MHz ram you need the expert as the sabertooth only supports DDR3 1866/1600/1333 MHz. The Sabertooth is a great motherboard but if you gettign 2400MHz and overclockign it go for the expert as it supports up to 3000MHz OC.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your help. IT expert here has recommended sabertooth with recommendation of using supported RAM. But my question of why sabertoth is preferable over expert could not be answered by him. What features of sabertooth make it preferable over expert regardless of overclocking pl.

Honestly i dont know, the only benifit the sabertooth has is the thermal cooling, the expert is better and you can compare both models on the ASUS website
http://www.asus.com/Compare/

Expert has bluetooth wireless, more expanssions, etc

See what you require and get it.
