Need some help deciding on what z97 motherb to get.

[Pestinar]

So i've been looking for sometime now for a z97 motherbord for the 4790k. I mostly game but i also overclock my hardware to get the most out of my pc. I have been thinking about the ASUS Z97-DELUXE and the ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO just not sure what too go for. Is the maximus a good enough card for some high overclocks or should i go for the Deluxe?

neither

 

they are really overpriced

 

any Z97 board can do OC

 

you are paying more for the ROG branding and useless features

If you don't care about pricing get the sabertooth mark 1, that's what I'm getting looks kick ass.

Well my only problem with that is that they do not sell ASRock boards in Norway... We have one z97 ASRock board here and it's the ASRock Z97 OC Formula.

MSI or Gigabyte if available should do the trick.

Yeah i was thinking about the MSI Z97 MPOWER or MSI Z97 GAMING 7 aswell. They are 500kr cheaper so about 81 dollars cheaper. Then the deluxe atleast.

Well i do not really care about the theme of the motherboard that much. Right now i have a red/black motherboard, white water tubes and tan and brown fans so yeah... Looks are not that important.

But yeah the mobo Looks just fine. It's just a scaled down deluxe i thing a bit fewer features.
