Want to ask . If im planning to build an OC rig with a i5 8600k aiming 5ghz. I have shortlisted 2 mobo in mind. Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 and Asus Strix Z370-F .
I am aware Asus mobo had some vdroop issues in the past and seems like solved with a bios update. Assuming both mobo is same price, which one to pick? |

QUOTE(owikh84 @ Mar 10 2018, 07:28 PM) Both ROG Strix Z370-F (RM875) and AORUS Z370 Gaming 5 (RM932) have almost identical VRM configurations (8 power phases), good looking RGB illumination, but the Strix doesn't have Debug LED for error troubleshooting and lacks one M.2 sockets compared to the Gaming 5 (triple M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4). I couldnt find the asus board at your price. I only manage to get it at RM950. Or if you don't mind an inferior RGB, take a look at the ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6 (RM830) that has a stronger VRM (12 power phases) and comes with Debug LED.  Or should i step up to Gigabyte Aorus Z370 gaming 7 ? Seriously difficult to pick. No. Im not taking Asrock. I had a bad experience with warranty claims previously. |
