Hello Guys,

 

I am choosing a new Z97 motherboard, so i choosed the MSI Z97 GD 65, as it has 12 phases on CPU (to a more stable overclocking), and supports SLI, that is what i need.

 

The question is: do i have another better option for the new motherboard?

 

What i need is:

1. The board must be good for overclock.

2. It must supports SLI.

3. Good performance and network overall.

I love my MSI Z97 gaming 5. I have a 4690k in it OC'd to 4.5ghz on 1.260volts. Alot of the overclocking is silicon lottery, but I love this board to death.

I do not live in USA or Canada, so i can't buy in your stores, thats a sad part of the history.

 

I can buy boards that costs 200 ~ 250 dollars for you.

 

Looking at MSI website it seems the GD 65 is better than Gaming 5.
