Z370 Motherboard options

[god_bmxes]

Hey everyone, I just recently upgraded my computer and when I did I got an MSi Z370 Gaming Carbon Pro AC. The motherboard worked at first but then I started having issues where Mystic Light was taking control of one of my dimms and would not allow me to do anytbing with it. Next I noticed that I was missing a drive, did some trouble shooting and Sata 1 is dead. So now I am going to send it back and get a refund for it. In the mean time I am going to order a new board. What I need help with is finding one that is compatible with all of my components. The main thing is I need to have no issues with my 32gb of Trident Z RGB ram and I would like a decent selection of IO on the rear aswell as RGB on the motherboard itself, the MSi had 7 USB ports on the rear and I'd like to stay around that amount. Also I want to get a good brand that will not have problems like my MSi did not that that was just an anomaly. So I have looked at the Aorus Gaming 7, and the Asus ROG Maximus X. Any other suggestions are welcome and input is greatly appreciated

I would go with the ASUS board. Good warranty and ASUS have a much better BIOS.  The hero boards are some of the best out there. it also has a wider range of RGB compatibility :3

I think the Asus I'd 20 or so dollars more. However the Aorus does have more rgb's lol
