Choosing a Mobo

Fictionvl

Posted

Alright so after deciding that I won't upgrade to haswell or skylake when they come out, I decided to get a Z77  motherboard, because I already have a OC capable CPU, I just need the motherboard

I currently have a GA-H77-DS3H mobo anyways

 

here are my options 

 

AsRock Z77-OC-Formula 

MSI Z77 MPOWER

AsRock Z77 Extreme 4

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H

 

one more question

 

I have a cooler master T4 CPU cooler

 

what kind of overclock I'm expecting? and on what voltage? 

 

thanks 

 

I will be responding when I'm back home!

They really have quite similar features, I would get the one that fits the colour scheme of your case best. If your wondering about the overclock motherboards in the intel side have a little affect on overclocking.

@Castdeath97 My colour scheme is red and black, but the mobos dont fit, maybe the asrock extreme 4 one which is black

I would go for the ASrock, closest to the color scheme you want.
