Are listed(80$ cheaper) motherboard bad choice over aorus z370 gaming 5 ? Which motherboard to buy for i5 8600k

[Honey]

What I personally like is good lookinh motherboard. Excellent music hardware, im not overclocker but it sounds good that motherboard is bit future proof.

Can i get better motherboard and cheaper than aorus gaming 5 z370?
In india it costs 300$ from local,
My seller suggested me this, its raising my budget. I can buy aorus gaming 5 too, but what if i save this money and spend on better aio cooler.
Listed motherboard can give me saving upto 80$

Choices are:
Gigabyte aorus gaming 3 z370
Gigabyte aorus z370 gaming wifi mobo
Gigabyte aorus z370 ultra gaming 2.0
Msi z370 gaming krait
msi z370 gaming pro
Msi z370 gaming sli
Asrocks fatility z370 gaming k6
Asrocks extreme4 z370
ASUS TUF Z370-PLUS GAMING Motherboard


Are these choices bad than aorus gaming 5 z370?

The Gaming 5 is one of the worst choices VRM wise given its price. That goes for most of the Gigabyte Z370 product stack btw... Except the Gaming 7.

Get an Asrock Extreme4 or Gaming K6 - especially if you only choose from this list. That's almost a summary of all the 'meh' Z370 boards you can find.

Note: Extreme4 and Gaming K6 also have ALC1220. Its the exact same audio.

As for an AIO: think hard on that too. You can easily cool an 8600K with a 40~50 dollar air tower like a Scythe Mugen. Less hassle, cheaper, just as much performance and no pump fail after 2-3 years.

Its fine. Its just a 8600k. If you have airflow over your CPU VRMs on the board, and you don't plan on pushing 1.4V through that CPU, game on!

As for temps, anything under 80 C is good, lower is better (for mostly emotional reasons).

Nice battlestation

1. If it's a gaming box, i wouldn't settle for anything less than ALC 1220. The lowest cost MoBo available most of the time w/ ALC 1220 sound is the MSI SLI Plus... we have used the SLI plus as our basic budget board now for 3 generations. So kudos to a fine choice.

2. As far AIOs, I would never install ANY CLC type AIO.

a) The Scythe Fuma matches or beats any of the $$90 (US) coolers (Cryorig R1, Noctua NH-D15, Phanteks PH-TC14PE, Thermalright Silver Arrow) for half the price.

b) If ya must have an AIO the only two I can recommend are the ones from Swiftech or EK. As far as ya temps, a game really provides no means of comparison. Your temps are kinda high for straight gaming for an 8600k even with a 4.8 + Ghz OC. At stock settings, it's pretty high. I'd suggest using RoG Real Bench to stress the CPU while monitoring temps w/ HWiNFO

Thoughts on the MSI Gaming+ Z370?

I think that's in the lower midrange is it not? Sufficient, is what I'd use to describe it. VRM wise, don't expect too much.

Thanks im gonna try this, btw i think temps are high because in case there is no intake fan, even radiator fans are pull out. May be thats why?
Actually my area so dusty.
