msi x99s gaming 9 ac vs asus rampage v extreme.

[Nachoz88]

So guys,,,

I just want to know your opinion.

of course this is for the 2011-V3 socket, the Haswell E chipset.

In my opinion, these are the 2 kings of x99 motherboards out there...

so,,,, which one of the 2 is the king for gaming and overclocking??????

personally i'd go with asus. but what do you guys think?

also feel free to add more x99s,,,, this is just my opinion

[Toddwjp]

asus would probably perform best, however look at how glorious the msi one looks

[H4X3R]

Both would be great choices.

If you want so "save" some money, i suggest the gigabyte x99 gaming 7.

[Aniallation]

Asus has the "OC Socket" which apparently increases OC ability.

Unlike MSI & Gigabyte who purposefully make 2 lines of products for the X99 chipset/LGA 2011-3 revision (Gaming / Overclocking). Asus's ROG series is both aimed at enthusiast class of overclocking & crazy multi-gpu configurations with cpu's that can leverage enough pci-e lanes + bandwidth. Personally I think the R5E looks like one of the best on the market but also the other top tier X99 motherboards like the X99 Deluxe + WS have their place. MSI's X99 XPower doesn't look too bad.
