The Z87 platform is slow but surely creeping out of the darkness and with Haswell about to be released, ASRock and many other motherboard manufacturers are starting to let slip a few details of their new products, some on purpose, but mostly via leaked details as items start shipping out for review, retail and testing by various partners.

Here we have details on the ASRock Z87 Extreme 4 and Z87 Pro 3m, both of which have been pictured and are since available to purchase on Chinese retailer Taobao’s website.

The ASRock Z87 Extreme 4 is a mainstream motherboard, which is priced around $160 US, although US prices are expected to be a little cheaper at around $150 US.

So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
