Gigabyte vs Asus

[Sento]

Both great companys, but not sure where I would buy my motherboard from either Asus or Gigabyte.

also if you need to rma, people say asus is shit

 

but my experience was great..

Gigabyte is literally the worst company you could buy a 1070 from, so based on that fuck their motherboards too.

I'd go with Asus or MSI.

I do think Asus has the best motherboards, if any type of product they make is the best of the field it would be motherboards.

It depends. You can't blame AMD for making bad cpu and then conclude that their gpu is bad too

Yea you can, if their quality control, build quality, fan durability and noise, customer service, and more is all garbage with their CPU's.

I'm not complaining about performance.

Welp i also vote for whichever is cheapest, all 4 major motherboard manufacturers have a rma rate of under 3% according to hardware fr most recent data,they keep close track of this kinda stuff. If it really matters that much Asus had the lowest rma rate, with Gigabyte second at 2.05%, ASRock third with a failure rate of 2.08%, and MSI was easily last (something like 2.6%).

I've always gone with ASUS for no reason other than personal preference. Never had an issue with their mobos and never had a different one.

I'd rather have gigabyte over ASUS, plus it's cheaper which is usually a main factor to me.

I have always had a gigabyte motherboard i have never had a problem with them.

You should try Asrock perhaps, they make very good mobos, specially for overclocking. Up there if not better for OC options compared to Asus.
Also it plays in their favor as they are not Tier1 brand you dont pay the brand and usually you get more for your money in features.

I'd say look at the motherboards individually (reviews and features) and the warranty they offer, even consider ASRock or MSI.  I personally think Asus is of higher quality, but everyone is going to base their preference on their own experience. .  One system that I built for a friend had the mobo go bad and it was gigabyte.  Granted it was a low end model and the caps didn't look very sturdy.

Gigabyte, they have lower RMA rate and they have better overall customer support!

ASRock, Biostar & MSI are also options ya know? o3o (with Biostar you should be careful their older boards are known for being terrible!)
