MSI is said to be poor quality everywhere, but it has the leds that let me change colors which i like.

 

I know nothing of the Bios differences never used asus or msi. I personally like msi more cuz of that but i am worried about the bad quality and bad customer support i see everyone saying about msi.

 

One thing i cant seem to read out form anywhere are these motherboards dual channel or quad? if quad then their both out of the question.

What about bios differences and overclocking? I plan to put a 6700k on it, so i would eventually overclock it.

 

Does the MSI one only support 1 monitor?

Bios difference is up to preference.

 

As for the monitor, that's irrelevant if you'll be using a graphics card. But even if using the iGPU, it can support multi-monitors anyway (just watch out for the connectors you'll use).
