What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

Verdict

The Gigabyte GA-Z87M-HD3 is a Micro-ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z87 Express chipset, supporting 4th Generation Intel Core processors via the LGA1150 socket. It features Ultra Durable 4 Plus technology, a 15µ gold-plated CPU socket, and UEFI DualBIOS for enhanced reliability and system protection. Key specifications include two DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to 16GB of 1600MHz memory (overclockable to 3000MHz), six SATA 6Gb/s ports with RAID support, and versatile video outputs including HDMI 1.4, DVI-D, and D-Sub. Major pros include its compact form factor, user-friendly BIOS for overclocking, and solid 4K display support via HDMI. However, it is limited by only having two memory slots, fewer fan headers compared to larger boards, and slightly lower performance scores in some benchmark tests against premium rivals.
