What motherboard do you have?

Like it or not but nowadays Gigabyte does better motherboards than ASUS on all price points.

I have to agree. Like seriously. The money spent on my X470 Gaming 7 was way better spent than the overpriced Crosshair VII Wifi that I bought before that one (for every day use and general overclocking). The Gigabyte has more features and headers.

 

I'm using X470 Gigabyte Gaming 7 currently and am super happy.

but have tried ALL of these in my same build prior to settling with the Gaming 7:

B450 Strix

X470 Gaming 5

X470-F Strix

X470 Crosshair VII Wifi

 

None of them come close to the features of the Gigabyte, there's way more headers (fans, USB 2.0/3.0) and not to mention, the RGB is just plain better. Asus software SUCKS! RGB Fusion in my opinion, is way better as you can control almost each section whereas on the Asus all I could do was set everything to same color or effect. Asus is just over hyped and all you're doing is paying for the name at this point. I don't even think the software on the Asus makes it worth buying. The new updates on my Gigabyte works just fine for fan control, overclocking and everything else. And I tested ALL of this in another thread the other day, so I KNOW it works. I personally don't use the software on any board except for the RGB as I use BIOS to control the important stuff like fan curves and overclocking.

 

Don't get me wrong, the Crosshair VII is an extremely great board w/ a GREAT BIOS, but at that price range, the Gigabyte just has more features, period.

 

Now on the Intel side (Z390), I wouldn't even buy an Asus.

Mines in my description at the bottom. Z87 gigabyte board. Picked up from right here on the LTT classifieds for a mere 50 USD. Have zero issues with it and works flawlessly.

B350 Tomahawk Arctic. 

 

Fairly inexpensive, one of the only white and colour neutral boards you can get, and the VRM isn't an issue with a quad core.

Asus h61m-k replaced a horrible msi z68 then 

Asus B350 plus bricked bios idiotically, rma a 2nd one with a dead usb port,

They've made some pretty shitty stuff so I wouldn't be surprised if this guy has had a bad time with MSI stuff.

Almost all brands has made some hot garbage at some point. The only motherboard that ever died on me was an Asus Rampage II Extreme, but that doesn't stop me from recommending good Asus boards. I've owned Asus, Asrock, DFI, EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, and Foxconn.

Yup, very true. I don't usually recommend Asus boards unless someone has a little extra money. The only Asus boards that are out right now that I don't recommend, ever, are all the Asus Z390 boards. They really fucked up the VRMs on the whole Z390 line.

MSI?

[Husky]

My PC has an ASUS Z170-DELUXE. Great board, all white. Running great for years with overclocked CPU, RAM and GPU.

 

I built someone a PC long ago with a Gigabyte Z170N-Gaming 5, and it seems to be a solid little board, no issues.

 

I have built a PC for someone recently with the ASUS Prime X470-Pro, and it seems quite solid as well (as long as you have a fan near the VRMs. It accepted a DOCP profile of 3000MHz without issue and passed stress tests first try. Seems great. I like the white design with the angled heatsinks and the M.2 heatsink actually seems to help keep the drive cool.

depends where u live. I think I payed 135EUR

[-rascal-]

Owned a bunch of ASUS / Gigabyte motherboards over the years...but tend to prefer ASUS more due to the more refined UEFI BIOS

Especially on the higher tier boards.

Could consider AsRock / EVGA / MSi /Gigabyte in my next build (most likely Ryzen) ... would be fun to change it up.

 

Current motherboards:

• ASUS X99 Deluxe II
• ASUS ROG Maximus VII Hero
• ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula (non-Z)

Asus Rampage II Extreme (daily)
Gigabyte GA-x58a-UD7 (bench board #1)

Gigabyte GA-x58a-UD3R (donor board for the UD7 if something fails)
Asrock x58 Deluxe (dead board I'm planning on fixing)

Gigabyte H55M-UD2H (bench board #2 - currently having trouble detecting more then 1 Ram stick)

Gigabyte EP45-DS3 (bench board #3)
Asus P5Q Deluxe (bench board #4, currently out of commission for unknown reasons)
Asrock z170 OC Formula (bench board #5, missing CPU + RAM)
Gigabyte EX38-DS4 (wall decoration, cleaned of all SMDs)

Asrock A75M-HVS (was planned as bench board #6 but arrived dead, so will probably do the same as the gigabyte EX38 board)

Supermicro X8DTU-6F+ (test board for dual socket stuff, cheap ebay find)

That should be all I think, though I'm getting a Rampage III Extreme some time in the next couple months.
