Hi guys, I was wondering about the best VALUE motherboard. So around $150. I will be OVERCLOCKING with an h100i, so that is a big overclock. Not planning on Ali or crossfire, but better safe then sorry. Also please from amazon, in US dollars. Plus do you guys suggest going micro atx, since I am not REALLY losing anything and saving money, PLUS I can get a 350d, a awesome looking high quality that is cheap.

So

Answer this best z87 micro atx, and best regular atx

Double check everything, I am usually wrong.

Asus Gryphon?

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Any z87 mobo will suit your needs just fine.

 

Edit: Fyi, the h100i probably won't break 4.8 ghz which pretty much any z87 mobo can hit if your chip and cooling allows it.

Just get the best looking motherboard in your budget.

Gigabyte GA-Z87-UD3H is one of my favorites, or the D3H... The ASRock Z87 Extreme4 and MSI Z87-G45 Gaming are also compelling.

 

I agree with the UD3H.

The Asus Z87-A is a good motherboard for overclocking.

Asus claims they all overclock to 4.8 (depending on if u get a good cpu) so you literally could go to the cheapest asus motherboard if you really want to do that

Not just Asus--any z87 mobo.

I have always been using Asus ROG boards and I have never been disappointed, therefor I would go for the Asus Maximus VI Gene. It's a bit more expensive, but it uses top tier components and it also features a great on board audio solution, which will be perfect if you don't plan on buying a dedicated sound cart. You have the option to have SLI and Crossfire in the future if you decide to add a secondary card. Last but not least, you could fit it in the Corsair 350D, which you mentioned in your post above.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 - 3900x @ 4.4GHz with a Custom Loop | MBO: ASUS Crosshair VI Extreme | RAM: 4x4GB Apacer 2666MHz overclocked to 3933MHz with OCZ Reaper HPC Heatsinks | GPU: PowerColor Red Devil 6900XT | SSDs: Intel 660P 512GB SSD and Intel 660P 1TB SSD | HDD: 2x WD Black 6TB and Seagate Backup Plus 8TB External Drive | PSU: Corsair RM1000i | Case: Cooler Master C700P Black Edition | Build Log: here

This is probably the opposite of a value motherboard though.

I'm planning on putting the ASRock Z87M Extreme4 Micro ATX motherboard in my next build. I like the All black look, plus it has a lot of good features and lots of I/O on the back. It's worth taking a look at. Plus a little under your budget its $122.99 on newegg right now.
