Which motherboard should I buy? I like that gigabyte have wifi built in and the power and Clear CMOS botton on the back IO but I also heard that you shouldn't buy gigabyte motherboard because they are bad and they have bad customer service. And a lot of people say Asus ROG is the highest quilty and Aura Sync is the best. Please tell me which one should I pick and is Gigabyte really that bad and is Asus really that good. (BTW, GPU RGB doesn't matter, I'm going with EVGA GPU.)

Gigabyte had some poor VRMs on their Z370 boards, but their X470 boards are fine.

 

There are horror stories about Asus support too. I don't know which is actually better/worse on average.

Funny thing I have been realizing is how many great Asus X370 ROG Crosshair Vi Hero are available for so much cheaper already due to the older chipset, considering there is no difference between them I'd actually buy one if I wanted a Ryzen+ system.

Checking the Buildzoid video about X470 boards, the Gaming 7 has slightly better VRMs as well as the best VRM heatsink of any X470 board.
