Older audio codec. Gaudy gold-colored shielding. Limited SATA and USB ports
The Biostar Hi-Fi Z97WE is a reasonably priced Z97 motherboard for the enthusiast. It's a little glitzy, but has solid features, including a spot for a M.2 solid-state drive and shielded audio components....
Very Reasonable Price, Good Overclocking Features and Ability, Very Good Audio Performance, Logical Layout, M.2 Support
No SATA Express or SLI Support, BIOS is a Bit Counterintuitive, The Color Scheme Used May Not Appeal to Some
The Biostar Hi-Fi Z97WE continues their Hi-Fi legacy with a good showing. All the popular hardware features are there and all work perfectly. The included utility software features designs that feel dated, though they are completely functional.The Hi-Fi Z...

Abstract: Biostar, a company which has been releasing motherboards for almost three decades, has just released the new Hi-Fi Z97WE. While Biostar has been around for some time, it isn't usually the first company that comes to mind when searching for a new motherboa...
Fantastically low price, Packed with features you would expect from a much more expensive board, Excellent power consumption under stock and overclocked settings, Fully-featured BIOS and software package allow you to get the most out of your system, Incre
No Thunderbolt or SATA Express or SLi Support, Tweaking the BIOS properly for maximum performance requires a fairly decent level of knowledge, Color scheme used may not appeal to all
The Biostar Hi-Fi Z97WE is available for around $105-$125. Fantastically low price. Packed with features you would expect from a much more expensive board Excellent power consumption under stock and overclocked settings Fully-featured BIOS and software pa...
In a lot of ways, the Hi-Fi Z97WE looks like a pretty good deal. It offers an affordable path to Intel's high-end Z97 chipset and takes advantage of all the associated perks, including support not only for next-gen storage devices, but also for future Br...
I don't review products from Biostar much often, in fact this is the first motherboard I've ever tested from them but it has been an interesting week testing out this and comparing it with Z97X-Gaming 3 from Gigabyte which comes at $7 more price of $132.9...
Aggressive price for feature set, M.2 connector, Shielded audio area with dedicated capacitors, Dual Gigabit LAN, Onboard display and buttons
Light on SATA, USB 3.0 ports, Older audio codec
With audio-grade capacitors, an M.2 connector, and a generally good layout, the Z97WE delivers much for the price. Modders may not like its look in a windowed chassis, and some competing boards offer better features for just a little more, but it's still...

As the Hi-Fi Z87X 3D, the Z97WE is a pretty solid board, despite the fact that it is less equipped since it is mostly aimed at mainstream this time. We were surprised to see that the manufacturer has decided to switch the color scheme for a golden/black v...
Price, Board Layout is Good, Performance on Par, Isolated Audio Circuit, Dual GbE LAN Connections, 100% Solid Capacitors, Support for M.2, ESD and Humidity Protection
Default settings for processor wrong, Minimal accessory kit, Thin PCB, Minimal Overclocking Power
We have to take a look at the Biostar Hi-FI Z97WE motherboard as a basic motherboard that anyone can use. Especially when we consider that it is in the budget to mainstream price range, what you get is expected. For the most part, everything is physical...
