about the Biostar Hi-Fi Z97WE Gaming MotherboardWhooping cough is not the only epidemic this season but gold color schemes and isolated motherboard audio as well. Not every implementation is the same for all motherboards however and between the two, I'm ...

Abstract: Today we are going to take a look at a handful of different motherboards from four different manufacturers. Each of the four motherboards is based on the Intel Z97 chipset with some of the latest and greatest bells and whistles. The first motherboard up i...
So, where do we stand with this board? Overall BIOSTAR has put together a pretty decent package again with its Hi-Fi Z97WE board. I'm personally not too keen on the color scheme… it seems a bit mismatched, but otherwise everything that should be there i...
The performance envelope that most of the Z97 boards on the market perform in at stock speeds is pretty narrow. Enhancements to how well they are tuned to run, as far as boost clock and memory tuning, have an impact on how well the boards perform before t...

Strong overclocking performance, Good audio system, Wise layout, Decent software package, CrossFire support
Didn't work with our Corsair 2400MHz memory, UEFI functionality is limited and appearance is dated, No SLI support, 0.5MHz overshoot on default base clock skews linked speeds.
As far as value-orientated motherboards go, the Biostar Hi-Fi Z97WE is a likeable product that delivers above average audio performance. The board's general layout is smart and its overclocking ability is deceivingly competitive with other parts.While the...
As we noted in the introduction to this review the choice of motherboards available to consumers is massive, even on the new Z97 platform. How have Biostar done in this crowded market? Pretty well actually. They have delivered a board which has good build...

Good value for money, Dual Gigabit ports with teaming, Onboard buttons and debug LED, 10 phase VRM, 3 year warranty
Realtek Gigabit LAN doesn't perform the best, ALC 892 audio codec cannot match rival products using ALC 1150 that are similarly priced, Colour scheme and aesthetics are garish and not very tastefully executed, Software package is dated, basic and uninspir
PricingThe Biostar Hi-Fi Z97WE motherboard retails for an MSRP of $125. We found it at Newegg for $125 while it was on Amazon for well above MSRP at $180. In the UK we were not able to find the motherboard at any retailers as of yet, because this motherbo...
La Hi-Fi Z97WE si propone al pubblico ad un prezzo pari a circa 130€, cifra assolutamente accessibile per una Z97 di questa categoria, che nella fattispecie rappresenta un acquisto molto vantaggioso per quegli appassionati o per i gamer interessati ad una...
