yeah, the asus has some crash free bios thing tackles corrupted bios and things like that so it should be ok if anything goes wrong

Also not a fan of the Gigabytes Sata connectors. Right angle is much better IMO

In terms of features they look pretty similar. I didn't see XMP support listed on the specs on the Asus board, but since it says it supports up to 3200 MHz (OC) it might not be a problem. It doesn't matter with your current memory anyway. I think you should however invest in some faster memory. In that case check the memory support for both boards in detail.

Other than that I don't think there's anything that would matter with your config. The only thing that matters is the BIOS. You just have to decide which one you like the most. I would look at the BIOS update support and choose the one with the better/faster.

 

As far as looks go, the Asus board looks much nicer. The Gigabyte board has those random RGB lines that AORUS brags about. Overall doesn't look that great and some parts are colored red, which just doesn't fit and looks ugly.

Ok I will look for faster memory probably 3000Mhz, also how do I check memory support?

I'm far from a memory expert so you should maybe look up a review of the motherboard and once you find some memory, post your config in some sort of memory forum. The same category here should be fine, but post only questions about the memory and what exactly you want and someone will help you.

thanks, I found 2x4gb of 3000Mhz ram for 24p cheaper than my original ram and it's still corsair vengeance lpx
