Hello,
I'm planning on upgrading my motherboard from ASRock H87 to Z370. And I can't decide on which motherboard should I buy, MSI Z370 Gaming M5 or Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Gaming 5. The specifications for them both seem pretty much the same.
(P.S. I'm not planning on overclocking the board.)
The MSI Z370 Gaming M5 motherboard bios looks more user-friendly and easier to navigate.
I haven't used MSI motherboards before. I only had a MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V GPU once. Which worked okay (beside the fact that it had a coil whine, but then again a lot of cards have it nowdays). MSI motherboards have high failure rate and not very good RMA?!
Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Gaming 5 motherboard seems to have higher quality components, lower failure rate and better RMA?!
Same as before, I haven't used Gigabyte motherboards before. But I had a Gigabyte GTX 770 WINDFORCE 3X GPU once. It had a metal plate (front and back). Looked like a high quality product, also very silent with no coil whine. The Gigabyte board is 25€ more expensive than the MSi board.
Thank you in advance,
Chris M
