Posted November 6, 2013 dude all of those boards have a specific target, (dont know all of them) but you listed ITX (didnt list any sorry) mATX ATX and bigger (again didnt list any, misread), we cant just tell you which one is the best unless if we know what you want and what you will use of the ROG features ITX Monster: CPU: I5 4690K GPU: MSI 970 4G Mobo: Asus Formula VI Impact RAM: Kingston 8 GB 1600MHz PSU: Corsair RM 650 SSD: Crucial MX100 512 GB HDD: laptop drive 1TB Keyboard: logitech G710+ Mouse: Steelseries Rival Monitor: LG IPS 23" Case: Corsair 250D Cooling: H100i Mobile: Phone: Broken HTC One (M7) Totaly Broken OnePlus ONE Samsung S6 32GB :wub: Tablet: Google Nexus 7 2013 edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 6, 2013 That's a great username btw.

Posted November 6, 2013 Author What chip will you be using? What do you plan on doing? Will you watercool? answer these. i5 4670K I plan on gaming on multiple 1080p monitors and want to get above 60FPS on all games. I will start with an AIO watercooling kit until I have enough money for a completely custom loop. Sorry I didn't give more detail my bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 6, 2013 I like the Impact, but you should get the Hero. It's a good board, and it isn't overloaded with shit you won't need. I still think you should stray away from the red/black norm and go for something exciting, like lime green (G1 Sniper) or yellow (Z87 MPOWER) Main Rig: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X | RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) KLEVV CRAS XR RGB DDR4-3600 | Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX | Storage: 512GB SKHynix PC401, 1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus, 2x Micron 1100 256GB SATA SSDs | GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra 10GB | Cooling: ThermalTake Floe 280mm w/ be quiet!

Posted November 6, 2013 +1 for the ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO if you want a full ATX board or the ASUS Maximus VI GENE if you want a mATX board for a small form factor rig. I personally like the smaller rig setups but I don't ever plan to have more than a 2-way GPU SLI/Crossfire setup and also use a NAS for most of my storage instead of a lot of SSD's/HDD's in my rig.

Posted November 6, 2013 If you want to watercool your motherboard later or enjoy the extra features get the formula. If that does not apply, the Hero is more than adequate.

Posted November 6, 2013 Formula, I love mine. Although you wouldn't want to water cool it with the stock block because it is made of aluminium and you may have problems with galvanic corrosion. OC3D gave it a gold award. Mind that the free Kaspersky thingy that comes with all Maximus VIs only works with windows 8 for now (doesnt work with windows 8.1). Why do i always get blue screens? Why not a red one for a change?

Posted November 6, 2013 They each serve a different purpose. Hero for ATX and people on a budget Formula For extreme overclockers and gamers Extreme for people who have money burning in their pocket Gene for people on a budget and what a small pc Impact for people who want a really small pc I recommend the Hero. It's a great board with all the features a regular consumer needs and no more. But we need to know what's your budget too. Never trust a hug.

Posted November 7, 2013 I recommend the Hero... But wait! Hmm... Let me quote what @WoodenMarker have to say about the ROG motherboards. The maximus motherboard of overbuilt.Yes I disagree,but lets hear what he has to say about this.I am now mind-blown and confused now.The weird thing is he is commenting on the Gene,not the Extreme.Since the gene is already overbuilt... Maybe WoodenMarker will recommend the Asrock Z87 Killer or MSI Z87A GD65 Gaming instead?I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 7, 2013 If you don't know if you need a ROG board or not, you don't need one. The reason I have a ROG board is because other matx boards for my chip at the time were nowhere near as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 7, 2013 Gene for people on a budget and what a small pc I wouldn't say it's on a budget exactly. But I feel like a Gryphon would be better suited for someone who wants Gene like things without paying $40 extra. Unless you buy the armor thats a different story.

Posted November 7, 2013 I am trying to say that you may disagree on getting an ROG Board.So yeah. Depends on what the OP wants. Performance is the same. All that there's to worry about are features and looks.
