Asus H97-Pro Gamer Asus H97-Pro Gamer

Asus je u prošloj seriji imao ploču koja se zvala B85-PRO Gamer i koja je bila namijenjena korisnicima koji su željeli više tehnologije a po povoljnoj cijeni. Malo čudan izbor B85 čipseta, ove je godine zamijenjen s H97, koji je odmah u liniji nakon Z97, a nije namijenjen poslovnim korisnicima kao B85. Prije malo više od dva mjeseca smo testirali H97-PRO model, koji je vrlo sličan ovome, no naravno nema taj “igraći” pedigre. Ova je ploča na tragu jačih Z97 ROG ploča pa donosi naprednije zvučne i mrežne mogućnosti uz softverski dodatak Sonic Radara II, te hardverski M.2 & SATA Express tehnologija. Ploča dolazi u slično dizajniranoj kutiji kao kod B85-PRO Gamer modela, no s nekim potpuno novim tehnologijama koje su sada prikazane na poleđini.

Ploča je zaštićena u zasebnom kartonskom omotaču, te u antistatičkoj vrećici. S obzirom da je riječ o modelu nižeg tržišnog razreda, bundle nije naročito bogat te se sastoji od četiri SATA 6Gbps kabela, I/O zaštite, medija s upravljačkim programima i aplikacijama, te kao i uvijek iscrpnih uputa za korisnike.

Ukoliko se prisjetimo, H97-PRO je jednostavnije građena ploča (ujedno i malo uža), a dizajn joj je pratio jače Z97 modele, što se posebno odnosilo na hladnjak koji se nalazio na PCH-u.  Ova ploča jako podsjeća na ranije spomenutu B85-PRO Gamer i na prvi pogled su vrlo slične. Obje naravno koketiraju s ROG serijom kako bi bile privlačne kupcima plićeg džepa. Na 30.5 x 24.4 cm (ATX) ploči zapravo je malo slobodnog mjesta i djeluje, a i je bogata opremom. Ipak, layout je vrlo dobar i nikakvih zamjerki tu nemamo. Hladnjaka su tri – po dva rebrasta na VRM jedinici, i jedan klasičan plošni na PCH-u. Ukupno gledajući, ploča djeluje moćnije i skuplje od cjenovnog ranga u kojem se nalazi.
