I am confused between 2 motherboards ASRock Z270 KILLER SLI/AC or ASRock Z270 Taichi . Taichi is costing me extra $25. Is Taichi is worth for extra $25 or no?

 

I am doing the intel build with i7 7700K

 

Any advise is helpful.

 

Thanks

The Taichi should have a better VRM implementation and more ports but the Killer's VRMs should handle the processor just fine.

 

TBH, $25 extra for the Taichi isn't that much. Either choice is fine but I'd personally go for the Taichi with that price difference.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I have the Z270 Taichi, and in my opinion, it's worth every single penny.  It has more SATA ports, USB 2/3 headers, and a better aesthetic overall.  With the 2.0 BIOS update, it even seems to help with temps on the Kaby Lake chips.
