Drippp 1820 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Upgrading to an i7-8700k soon and have a debate between whether to get the gigabyte Auros ultra gaming mother board I really like the LED aspect so the win for that goes to the gigabyte motherboard but in all around features I’m not sure which one to pick Quote Link to comment
Ozzy Jones 362 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Close call but I'd go with the Strix. More RAM capacity (128 GB vs 64, although 64 is probably still mega-overkill for gaming purposes) and it has wifi built in in case you ever need it. I've found Asus products to be very reliable; I don't have much experience with Gigabyte. Look at reviews and see whether either has DOA or reliability issues reported, and if they're the same on that count then I'd probably go with whichever is cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hectic 478 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 The asus bios is very user friendly, and offers a good program (AI Suit) in windows for automatic overclocking in case you don't want to mess with anything. You can control all fans, curves, and PSU options from it. Quote Link to comment
