The Z87 PCH comes with the C2 stepping and we can also see here additional details regarding the audio and LAN chipset:

In order to check out the system temperatures, we fired up the AIDA64 Stability Test utility and logged the resulted data with the help of HWINFO64. We will be able to see very good IDLE temps for the CPU and at Full Load it climbed up to 70 degrees Celsius. The chipset stays at an IDLE temperature of 38.5 and it has climbed up to 47.5 degrees. The HDD did not heat up much, since we have recorded a maximum temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and neither the 7790 GPU which has a maximum logged temperature of 64 degrees Celsius. Prior to the testing phase we have left the system in IDLE for about 30 minutes and the ambient was set at 20.5 degrees Celsius.
