whats the point of this topic?

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Oct 7, 2012

I voted other as I am partial to Gigabyte boards.

eidairaman1 · Oct 7, 2012

Likewise

Ive had a few asus boards in the past, not a fan of them

MSI, DFI, AsRock, even ECS ive had good experience with.

Gigabyte- Never owned one or seen one in a customers machine

As many people on forums know I am a bit of an Asus fan so I'll suggest them. On that note however I do not like msi. Had many of their board's none of which ever impressed me. Cheaply made short lived boards as far as I'm concerned.

I love my new MSI board z77a-g45, i think the build quality is amazing.

entropy13 · Oct 7, 2012

MSI. There's barely a difference between my ASUS and MSI boards (for the same socket), except for the price.

yep asus kinda pricey for the same level of hardware especially in here, but MSI less popular from asus

meh MSI boards have a penchant for exploding on the AMD socket due to shitty VRMs

ASUS has been having USB compatibility issues over priced and ECS now makes their products not pegatron so ASUS isnt really ASUS any more.

Ill honestly look at just about everyother brand and avoid both MSI and ASUS,

yeah, its not like they used to be
every stuff has their own weakness :eek:

but sometimes you can rely on one brand since they may not offer you the spec that you need

are intel branded boards considered a sane option?

Not really, they're the "neither bad nor really good" boards. But they're priced slightly above the similar options of other brands.

sorry intel board lack of features, they make good processors but not boards

crazyeyesreaper · Oct 7, 2012

boards are actually fairly good now,

P67 onwards anyway

ECS P67 i had used reference Intel specs worked with Intels XTU tool which was great for setting sub timings, testing the CPU and memory for stability etc etc etc their boards have improved greatly. but if your not pushing socket 2011 aka 1155 and Z77 then get something else if using liquid cooling or one of thlose sealed liquid coolers like the H80 the Biostar TZ77XE4 is pretty solid loving mind does everything the more expensive boards do but i only paid $120

head's tellin my go with a server mobo, heart's tellin my stay with asus and my gut's tellin me intel or msi... what part should I listen to?

Derek12 · Oct 7, 2012

Gigabyte: Best experience for me three boards and all were fine and lasted good times (never died on me). A fourth, its USB ports were killed my fault.
Asrock: only once, it worked fine for some months & it died after adding RAM as always I did with the rest of mobos, no reason.
Asus: The only one I had, its PCI Express slot was dead & only the onboard GFX worked, but I won't say outright they are bad.
No experience with any MSI mobo.

my 2 cent.

MxPhenom 216 · Oct 7, 2012

neither. Gigabyte and Asrock.

de.das.dude · Oct 7, 2012

what is it youre exactly wanting to build?

Honestly Id go with a x79 setup with a 7870 or 7950

Most brands are fine, I would not hesitate to get either Gigabyte, Asus, ASRock, MSI or other well known brands. It also depends on the warranty service in country you are in, some of them have shit services in some countries.

All warranty services are s**t everywhere in her continent. Skyrim, Elswyr, Morrowind, it doesn't matter.

Agreed. I've had motherboards from them all. Some have not worked properly, but that can be expected with every company. I liked them all.

depend on series

BarbaricSoul · Oct 7, 2012

I had never really been a MSI "fan" and normally wouldn't consider getting a MSI board(I was a Gigabyte and EVGA motherboard fan), but I couldn't pass on my current MSI board considering the price I paid for it. I have been very happy with my MSI board and now would not have a problem buying another MSI board.
