MSI Z270 GAMING M7 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard or Asus MAXIMUS IX HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Might be the one that has Gaming in the name  lol jks. I have the IX Hero and it seems to do really well. Has SLI support and comes with a SLI Bridge to. Plus there is alot of stickers you can put on your case to make it go faster. The IX Hero also has spots for two nvme drives, which is cool. I would buy it again if needed.

no,they just have a pretty good performance but awesome aesthetics... If you like the m7 more than the asus maximus because maximus is too ugly, you can go for it but if you need more features that m7 hasnt also you dont care the aesthetics, then go for maximus...

No, I have an MSI z97 Gaming 5. I was going to get the asus maximus something but it ended up running out of those parts. So i got an msi instead

Pretty sure I've seen like 8 people with this frog thing going back in forth this month. Is this a thing now?

Your original question: No it's not better for gaming, if you're not overclocking at all it won't make a big difference. "Gaming" performance won't really matter with your board, unless putting racing stripes, flashy lights makes you think it's better then sure.

TLDR: Board does not influence "gaming" performance at all. Your overclock on your CPU, GPU does.
