Hey everyone, I will be upgrading to the X99 platform and I will be buying one of these two boards.

Will be purchasing a 6800K to go with one of these..

They look similar to me. In your opinion, which one is better and why?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

MSI

Warranty

Personally would get a cheaper board

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

MSI X99A GAMING PRO CARBON, it appears to have far less failures than the ASUS board, they have better customer service and to me it looks nicer.

Asus X99 Strix.

Simply because better vrm implementation.

 

Next to that the vrm implementations on the new Gigabyte X99 boards like the X99 Ultra Gaming, X99 Phoenix Sli and the Designare EX are also realy sollid.

If you look for more options eventualy.
