Hi guys, I'm currently using an MSi Z170A Gaming PRO carbon, but I'm having some issues with some drivers and USB ports and a couple of nic nacks... So I decided to get myself a new motherboard, but Im not sure which one I want...
I'm hesitating between:


Gigabyte Aorus Z270X-Gaming-5

or

Asus Rog Strix Z270F

 

Both board have monoblocks available for them, and while i find the Asus a bit cheaper and more aesthetically pleasing (and apparently a great overclocker), I only had good, if not great experience with gigabyte boards, and it has a dual nic, which id use if i had it, but it's not required
