Hi thanks for the reply, I asked why on twitter someone asked this same question and the answer was this,,, Dear Valued Customer,

that's why I ask the experts to find out if this is true! ok .... for me this motherboard can not have hardware limitations ... or maybe I'm wrong ??
 
ASUS answered that the Z87 has hardware limitations.

This should be correct, no support broadwell 5th generation Intel CPU

The 9th generation of Intel chipsets should all be compatible.

You aked about the Z97 ws, this question wasn´t answered yet. There is a list of supported motherboards:

For the new CPU I7-5xxx (5th generation), did you see this 1150 CPU for sale anywhere ?
These CPUs will most likely be sold in pre-built systems but the second half of 2015 will tell more.

You're right, it is called the Z87 WS, then I still have hope for a BIOS update (Z97 ws), thanks for your time if you let me know novelty hello.
