Posted August 14, 2020 Hi there quick question i need a good overclocking board to use with my 9900k. Im going for Z370 and not for Z390 as i have a good offering in two boards but just wanted to get an opinion on wich should i go for. Either the "ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Professional Gaming i7" or the "ROG Maximus X Hero". The ASRock VRM seems better on paper and has some nice features but the Asus one has bios Flashback wich means i wont have to borrow an 8th gen CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler) Spoiler Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid. ( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D) Spoiler Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid. (RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units) Spoiler Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock.
