Guys, guys obviously "This" makes a gaming motherboard. Did you read the part about the gaming USB ports. A must have.

 

 

.. In all seriousness I have this board and it's great. But as of right now, nothing really makes a motherboard gaming or not. Just buy the board that fits your price range and has the features you want.

CPU & iGPU Overclocking... 'Z' Series chipset

Just CPU overclocking ...      'H' Series chipset

No Overclocking...                'B' Series chipset

 

There is no need at all for a Z series board unless you need that little extra stuff. (like SRT etc.)

 

Remember, you still have epic 'B' Series gaming boards like this:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-b85-g43-gaming-intel-b85-s-1150-ddr3-sata-iii-6gb-s-pcie-30-%28x16%29-d-sub-dvi-d-hdmi-atx

As opposed to the 'Z' series one:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-z87-g43-gaming-intel-z87-s-1150-ddr3-sata-iii-6gb-s-raid-pcie-30-%28x16%29-d-sub-dvi-d-hdmi-atx

And the 'H' Series one:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-h87-g43-gaming-intel-h87-s-1150-ddr3-sata-iii-6gb-s-raid-pcie-30-%28x16%29-dvi-d-hdmi-atx

 

The 'Z' Series one is more expensive. Pretty much the same board as the other two.

z87 for Overclocking

H87 for not-Overclocking [Non-k processor]

 

Depends if you want to OC or not ^^

 

A motherboard with PCI-E 3.0?

 

PCI-e 3.0 is a marketing gimmick as of now. No GPU even remotely maxes out PCI-e 2.0. For the moment and probably the coming few years it's nothing but marketing ^^

Really?

So PCI-E 2.0 would not bottleneck a 7990?

wat ?

With 'Z' series boards, you can overclock the internal GPU; If you can bring yourself to use it.

Go for one that delivers a reliable experience, you don't want to purchase

a cheap board that you later find out can't do something you need it to, or worse

has power stability issues. It is especially important if you plan on overclocking.

 

I've had my fair share of the lower tier of boards before my current rig, the cheaper

bios, less updates and power delivery can really make for a bad experience .

GPU - Asus AMD Radeon 6950 Direct CU II 2GB |

Seasonic 1000 W Platinum | Cooler Master 690 ii Advanced | Asus VE248H + VE248Q

No, performance difference is in the 0.1-1% margin.

Honestly, "gaming" motherboards are just regular motherboards with features that someone like you wouldn't even utilize.  I always think "If you don't know what it is or how to use it, don't buy it!"

Most MSI & Gigabyte boards are pretty good. Hell even alot of the Asrock boards are fine, they just aren't as feature rich alot of the time.

So you admit,that it does bottleneck a bit.

I think the Extreme4 and above are pretty feature rich,with purity audio and stuff like that.

Are you sure the H series can overclock the cpu. I mean actually overclock not just adjust base clock or something like that to get a little boost.

It's within margin of error, could be any other factor aswell.

 

And for the love of god, why can't people stop Q.Qing about bottlenecks? Sat on one?

you might get 0.5-2FPS difference from PCIe 2.0 to PCIe 3.0.

Until you can find margins of errors that have PCIe 2.0 slightly faster than 3.0 because of the "margin of error",the simple fact will be that it does indeed bottleneck.
