Test: Intel DZ87KLT-75K

Konklusion

Mit helhedsindtryk af dette bundkort er lidt blandet. Af et OEM bundkort at være synes jeg, det er fantastisk, og der er mere fokus på overclocking end jeg havde regnet med, men hvis der skal ekstrem overclockes, vil jeg ikke mene, dette er bundkortet at gøre det på.

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Der er lidt mere innovation end, jeg havde regnet med. Især mPCIe porten synes jeg, er rigtig godt og giver en OEM bygger flere muligheder. Start og reset knapperne gør det også nemt at teste om, systemet faktisk virker inden, det bliver monteret i et kabinet.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Her ved jeg ikke helt hvad jeg skal synes. Pakken giver en OEM bygger mulighed for at bygge et ret så voldsomt system med to grafikkort, og den medfølgende WiFi/Bluetooth enhed er rigtig god at have med, men en driver CD ville nu være skøn at have med i farten - især til forbrugeren, hvis styresystemet skal geninstalleres.

Design/Layout - 5
Jeg synes generelt ikke, der er noget i vejen med layoutet af bundkortet. PCIe layout er som, det skal være, kortet har fået masser af SATA porte og start/reset knapperne er dejlige at have. Og lad os ikke glemme, at bundkortet sikkert ikke ser tosset ud i et kabinet med vindue, og især med Intel's egen vandkøler, der har en blæser med blå lys i.

Software/BIOS - 3
Generelt synes jeg både software og BIOS er forvirrende. I starten brugte jeg længere tid end forventet bare for at kunne slå XMP profilen til i BIOS for, at RAM ville køre den hastighed, de er lavet til, og ved overclock skulle der også meget tilvending til, før jeg kunne finde rundt. Jeg kan desuden ikke lide, at spænding kun kan ændres ned til to decimaler.

Ydelse - 4
Generelt ser vi en ydelse mellem de sammenlignede bundkort, hvilket jeg synes er ganske fint. Der var lige det, at bundkortet ikke ville overclocke ret langt, men det kan have noget at gøre med, at jeg denne gang har brugt en anden chip end den, jeg plejer, jeg kunne dog starte Windows op ved 4.9GHz og køre Cinebench, men det ser ud til, at selv ved 4.5Ghz er der problemer i 3Dmark11.

Pris - 2
Som altid ser vi disse OEM bundkort fra Intel være alt for dyre i forhold til de andre producenter, det er nok en anden pris OEM byggerne får, men jeg synes slet ikke, det kan betale sig for en almindelig forbruger at købe bundkortet til denne pris.

UK summary

My overall opinion about this motherboard is hard to explain. For being an OEM motherboard, this is amazing - there is a lot more focus on overclocking than I expected, but if you want to do extreme overclocking, I wouldn't really recommend this board.
 

Innovation/Technology - 4
We get a little more innovation on this motherboard that I expected. Especially the mPCIe connection gives the OEM builder great opportunites and also the "Start" and "Reset" buttons give you the option of testet the system before installing in the case.

Bundle/Accessories - 3
I don't really know what to say here. The packages gives the OEM builder an option of a super powerful dual video card system and the Wifi/Bluetooth module is amazing as well, but then there is no driver CD, which would help a lot for the consumer if he ever needs to reinstall 

Design/Layout - 5
In general I do like the layout of this motherboard. The PCIe layout is made exactly how I want it to be and we get a lot of SATA connections and the Start and Reset buttons wellplaced on the motherboard. And I'm pretty sure that this Skull flavored motherboard will look good in a case with a window side - especially if you also use Intel's liquid cooler with the blue LED.

Software/BIOS - 3
Both the software and BIOS are a little confusing for me. In the beginning I spent way more time than expected just to find the XMP profiles, so I could get my memory to run the right speed. Furthermore going into overclocking, it took a while as well to get use to the way Intel does it here. And sadly enough I could only work with 2 degits when changing the voltage.

Performance - 4
Overall we see the performance of this motherboard right between the 2 other ones, we've tested, which I think is pretty good. The only thing was the issue of overclocking - I couldn't get it to more than 4.5 Ghz, but maybe because it was another CPU than usual. We could start up Windows at 4.9 Ghz, but testing wasn't stabil.

Price - 2
Like always this OEM motherboard from Intel are super expensive. I do hope that the OEM builders will get a different price. I don't think it's worth buying this motherboard for price when you are a consumer.
