Hi,

 

I've seen some good and bad reviews for both boards from what I understand so far is that the EVGA is a solid and reliable board however misses some of the features in the Asus. Also some people seem to be having an issue fitting a video card into the primary PCI-E slot as the slot is very close the I/O plate. 

 

The Asus has a lot of positive reviews in terms of features and overclocking ease however there is more than a few reviews stating that there boards died after a short period of time and the Asus RMA procedure was hell. Some people even had DOA Ram slots which just by looking at the packaging of the two boards EVGA seems to put a lot more effort into protecting there boards.

 

At this point in time I'm leaning towards the EVGA however I am curious to see what others have to say. Especially any first hand experiences! 

 

I'm (perhaps) planning on a I5 6600k build with a EVGA 1070 FTW.

 

Thanks!
