QUOTE(terence_nwb @ May 12 2015, 12:52 PM) Both are using same SupremeFX X-Fi 8 channels HD audio card so the quality should be about the same what about Asus maximus vii ranger and Gryphon z97? same audio card? whats the diff with pro gamer?i'm really confused now between Asrock, MSI, Asus and gigabyte. searching which provide the best features with almost the same value. lol.

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ May 12 2015, 01:39 PM) Asus Maximus VII Ranger is using same sound card as PRO GAMER, Gryphon z97 is M-ATX mobo and using realtek sound card. So which Asrock z97 provides at least the same or more features compare to this premium brands?Asus products are having "premium" price here, if you want to get best value mobo, go for Asrock, it's always cheaper than other brands and quite reliable, but the Gigabyte Z97X GAming 5 and Asus Z97 PRO GAMER both are almost same price. Intel Core i3 4150 - RM 398.56 Asrock H81M-VG4 - RM 178.08 Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Value RAM - RM 229 Leadtek GTX750 1GB GDDR5 OC - RM 419 WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 189.74 FSP Hexa+ 550W PSU - RM 199 Aerocool V3X Advance - RM 104.94 Windows 7 Pro OEM - RM 200 Total: RM 1918.32 (Price with cents is from Jayacom, the rest without cents is from Viewnet, Windows genuine copy is from Idealtech) |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ May 12 2015, 02:52 PM) If you are looking for good onboard sound card and overclocking ability, just pick the Asus Z97 PRO GAMER, Asrock Extreme 4 which is about the same price point only using realtek sound card. so all Arock z97 only using realtek sound card where as only Asus Z97 Pro Gamer and above use the better supremeXF sound card? what about gigabyte? |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ May 12 2015, 03:42 PM) If comparing with same price point with Asus Z97 PRO GAMER, it is the only one with custom SupremeFX sound card, Gigabyte also using realtek one. is the Realtek ALC1150 that bad? because i am quite impressed with the rich features of Asrock z97 series for that price. lol.  |

QUOTE(rav3n82 @ May 12 2015, 04:53 PM) There was a very detailed explanation by SSJBen regarding the ALC1150 before. thx! that is very enlightening. so guys, if soundcard is not the priority, i think asrock is quite bang for the buck. should i go for Extreme6, z97 killer or z97x killer? https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3497368/+40?hl=ALC1150 |

QUOTE(LovelyPotato @ May 22 2015, 02:59 PM) I went to sri computer but couldn't find any. Ended up found one in Viewnet at RM89 for 2 USB 3.0 slot and a HDD/SSD holder inside. Quite expensive but I got one unit for the front USB 3.0 speed wow, thats little pricey. i guess i have to hunt it in taobao then.  |
