Z370 MSI Motherboard Help

[digidude512]

Currently my shortlist is

MSI Z370 PC Pro

MSI Z370 Krait

MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon

 

I'm wondering if there's enough differences that the extra cost of the Pro Carbon is worth it?

inb4: No, I won't get an ASUS Prime Z370-A or any of their other boards because I've seen too many of them fail.

Get a Z370 Sli-Plus/Taichi/Killer Sli/AC

Z370 is a fairly new chipset, how can you already ser many of them fail?

I meant ASUS Boards in general.

Well, my first suggestion was going to be to go to an Asus board due to the Dual N Mosfets.  If I was to reccomend an MSI board, it would be an Xpower board.

I assume based on their experiences with previous series mobos? In a similar way, I wouldn't touch an MSI board

 

This time around, I picked the Asrock Pro4 purely as it was the cheapest non-MSI board. Expected to arrive tomorrow and I'll report back then.

I build a lot of rigs, and for the most part present day boards are well made. I tend to use Asus more than anything , but I use a wide variety and I honestly see more gigabyte boards need RMAs than any other brand, and even then only a small minority of the builds I do ever need any kind of repair/replace.

Same here, Asus is always my Go to for the nicer builds, but other day got my hands on a Aorus model and was massively impressed specially since it was cheaper than the asus. only had a real ugly BIOS though. You talking about the normal GB boards or the Aorus also plagued ? 

[PETRGangKing]

Just the normal Gigabyte, I have never done an Aorus board. and dont get me wrong, even among gigabyte boards, a faulty board is pretty rare. I still use gigabyte fairly frequently. With the exception of a few bad models across the board, I wouldnt be afraid to use any name brand right now. I would just lean towards an Asus or EVGA board if quality control was a big concern for me.

I actually almost pulled the trigger on the Auros Waterforce WB edition before I got my Asus ROG Poseidon

Actually the MSI Z370 SLI Plus does look quite nice.

I've used the MSI Sli board in different chip sets, it's a decent board. Never had any issues with it either.

I bought my first high end Gigabyte board a few months ago and have been very impressed.  VERY well built board.  Asus is my usual go to.  Give the z370 Gaming 7 a look.

I'm currently using a Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 but this time around Gigabyte/Aorus brings me over budget.

Dont get MSI. Aorus G7 or Asus Strix (look for the one with IR powerstages
