What's the difference between this motherboard and the Z97-Deluxe ATX model? I plan on pairing either one with an i7-4930k CPU

Z97 is LGA1150... if you want to use that CPU, you'll have to get the X79 which is compatible with the LGA2011 socket.
1870956
The z97 line of motherboards are not compatible with the 4930k. They are compatible with the x79 motherboards. If you're dead set on getting the 4930k that is your biggest difference right there.

The Z97-Deluxe has a different CPU socket. You would want a mother board with the LGA 2011 socket for that CPU.

I don't recall...but I bought mine a few months back and it worked immediately with the AMD A10-7850K chip. I wouldn't worry about compatibility at this point. The old product is most likely pushed through. GREAT MOBO.

DO NOT BUY ASROCK!! and no it does not. You need an LGA1115 compatable CPU (intel ivy bridge). I can't speak to much about the motherboard's performance, because I used it about two months and then it didnt work?? I had to send it in and their customer service...horrible. I paid to ship it to them just after two months of use (BullS), people on the phone didn't give me a call back on more than 2 occasions. I will NEVER do business with this company again. Trust me, the list goes on even more.

Try the ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark2 board. Its around 165 - 175. Its a great board that has served me well!

This is not accurate. I purchased this motherboard new from Newegg for around $220 late last year. Listing that price is definitely a mistake. I believe on other sites too the board is discontinued. It would be best to look into upgrading to the Z87 chipset and CPU than to consider spending on this board.

With theZ97 xxx Motherboard you have to Add at I/O card in one Slot go to ASUS web Site for more information

that cpu is actually socket AM2+, it is still compatible with this motherboard, no issues

No both motherboards are different. The first one is very small ATX motherboard and the second one is standard one. Go the Biostar website you can find that they are very different for example, the first one only has two memory slots but the second one has four.

Check the Gigabyte website for this motherboard and what CPUs are supported by this motherboard. Here's the link: http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=495. You should be good to go with this processor. Great MB.

The motherboard will support an i7-3770k, but if you're going to get/already have an i7 CPU, I highly recommend that you buy a different motherboard. In my honest opinion, the P8Z77-V LX is only for low-end CPUs (pentium, dual core, up to i3). If you get a P8Z77-V LX, you might be bottlenecking your CPU, and it might not run to the full potential that it should be.If you have an i7, and you don't mind using a bit of money, I'd get the Maximus Z77. Look it up, it supports the i7-3770k beautifully, and it gives the CPU enough wiggle room. I personally have an i5-3570k and I'm using a Maximus Z77, and it's running great.

F2A88XN-WIFII got the MOBO in Jan 2013 and it would NOT POST with 7850k . So I have No Idea of the In Box BIOS version.But it is a Rev. 3.0 MOBO ! So I sent the MOBO to gigabyte. when it can back it POST'd on first tryand it now has BIOS ver. F3 . staying with F3 .Because of ATI\AMD staggard release of the A88x chip set and then the 7850k at least 6 months later,it is basically unknown what BIOS version is out there in the on the shelf MOBO's .I like the MOBO. realtek HD 892 azillia audio , on board WiFI , and Kaveri GPU .Only a shop based re-seller that has FM2 pre-kaveri CPU on hand could answer your question.

Go to this website: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/586/Intel_Core_i7_i7-3930K_vs_Intel_Core_i7_i7-4930K.html.There are subtle differences. Just seems like a minor update in speed and ram support.

I do not own the other motherboards to compare but I had to return ARRock 990FX Extreme4 because it did not post.

Sorry Frank. I'm still waiting for the CPU. I ordered this M/B and the 20th Anniversary Intel CPU. Haven't got the CPU in yet so have not fired up this board.

In fact, you might want to use the new version similar MB supporting Z87, as "Asus Z87I-Deluxe LGA 1150 Intel Z87 Mini ITX Motherboard" in the same Amazon site. It is just $20-ish more. You will benefit more for being able to pairing i7-4770k with the Z87 chip-set. -- (Sorry, I just found out the new MB after I respond to you question minutes ago and I just send this reply as addition comment for you).

The i7-4470K has an unlocked clock multiplier so you can overclock this chip if you want and your motherboard supports it, but at a higher price. The i7-4470 is not unlocked but is cheaper. Other than that they're identical.

The Deluxe will provide a slight advantage in overclocking, and if you need lots of USB ports or SATA ports. Otherwise the Pro is a great board. Just wish Amazon sold the non WiFi version, because the built in Wifi antenna is pretty poor on both boards. The pro has got me OCed to 4.7ghz on my 4790K (Stock 4.0ghz), with zero issues, so unless you're looking for total overkill, and you really want to get into more extreme OCing, go with the Pro! A full comparison list for ASUS boards can be found here &gt; http://www.asus.com/us/site/motherboards/Z97/comparison/ Right now IMO the Pro is their best board for your average overclocker. Also, I should note that when I say the Wifi is poor, I am referring to a bigger house, where I can buy a USB WiFi adapter for $15 that trumps the onboard. Can't comment on smaller more open homes.8 SATA Ports on the Pro These are the 6 Differences, which IMO do not in anyway justify the price difference for me. 10 SATA Ports on the Deluxe 1 SATA Express Port on the Deluxe 2 SATA Express Ports on the Deluxe 1 Ethernet connection on Pro 2 Ethernet connections on Deluxe 4 External USB 3.0 On the Pro 6 External USB 3.0 On the Deluxe 2 External USB 2.0 On the Pro 4 External USB 2.0 On the Deluxe DIGI+ 12-phase CPU power on the Pro DIGI+ 16-phase CPU power on the Deluxe
