Gigabyte vs MSI?

Go to solution Solved by Askew,

I hear that gigabyte's RMA procedure is better so I'd take gigabyte on that merit.

 

They both make good products though.

I'm getting the Gaming 5 motherboards. MSI and Gigabyte both has the motherboards and they're the same price. I was wondering which one I should choose or are they completely the same thing?

I would go with Gigabyte personally.

Intel I9-9900k (5Ghz) | Asus ROG Maximus XI Formula | Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4-4133mhz | ASUS ROG Strix 2080Ti | EVGA Supernova G2 1050w 80+Gold | Samsung 950 Pro M.2 (512GB) + (1TB) | Full EK custom water loop |IN-WIN S-Frame (No. 263/500)

Same. I am more familiar with Gigabyte mobo than i am with the MSI ones.
