No. I'm talking about the Asus Z87-Pro --- ATX motherboard.
I don't "need" wifi either, but sure is a nice thing to have anyway.

Ok, but it doesn't have wifi ,

Edit: forget above comment, I didn't see Z87 pro , was on second page

Anyway I agree with you on feature, I would probably go hero if I was buying for 1150 .

Awesome review Dave.. had a tech wood until i seen the $399 price tag. out of my price range.Any chance in some of the new AMD AM3+ boards? maybe one of them is in my price range.

I ordered the Hero. In an unbelievable gesture, god made the Hero a LOT cheaper than even the Pro, here in an online store, and I grabbed the opportunity...

Question for anyone . What does memory training mean .
I see it mentioned on many ROG Z77/Z87 MB . I know it has to do with MB optimizing timing during boot but how does that affect when you manually enter timings .

I Googled it but didn't really find answer .
Is it something that happens on all memory settings (auto, manual, XMP ) and what timings is it adjusting .

From what I can gather, and based on my own personal experience, it seems to affect round-trip latency and IO latency which can have a major impact on performance and stability.

On a somewhat related note, I got the Formula and am finding it much easier to clock CFR-based memory on past 2800MHz than the Extreme, in fact it's my favorite Z87 board now since it seems to strike a good balance between ease of high memory clocks from the Gigabyte OC with the efficiency and tuning of the Asrock OC Formula.
