Hello everybody! I am doing a new build and I am going Haswell. I don't plan to do any overclocking (never bothered with it), so I was thinking of getting a H87 board. Do you know if there is any difference performance-wise between Z87 and H87? I've tried to find any testing done, but apparently this is not a very interesting topic for reviewers. Feature-wise they seem pretty even, but I seem to recall some motherboard reviews of IB boards where some high-end (IIRC very high-end) boards actually gave you some performance improvement, so I was wondering if there is something similar with H87 vs Z87. I plan on getting an ASRock Fatal1ty H87 Performance first, because it is cheap and I don't care about OC options or CF/SLI capability, but also it supposedly has a pretty good on-board audio and also more USB slots than Z87 boards with similar price. I already ordered most of the components and would have ordered the Fatal1ty as well, but it was out of stock, so having to wait anyway I decided to ask here first The rest of the components are
