 Posted: Wed, 2nd Jul 2014 10:11 Post subject: ASrock z97 extreme 4 or Msi z97 gaming 5? |
|
 |
So yeah apparently they'll have the 4790k this friday or next monday the latest. I need a mobo to go with it and i figured i'd go with the asrock z97 extreme 4.
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97%20Extreme4/
vs
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z97_GAMING_5.html
Thing is i never had asrock mobos, only gigabyte and msi. How's the brand? I've seen some reviews which apparently say this one is pretty good (compared to say msi z97 gaming 5) but i'd like some user opinions too. Difference in price is almost non-existant so there's that.
Thanks.
Also i noticed this :
PCI Express 3.0 x16 3 (x16 / x8 / x4)
i've never sli'd before and i don't think i will, however just in case won't the 8x slow the 2nd gpu down?

Ok, guess for now i'll stay with the ASrock in my order til the cpu gets in stock. Got a few more days to reconsider if anyone else wants to chime in with some counterarguments.
Thanks shosho.

Get the MSI mobo, Asrock mobos have been absolutely dog shit lately (only the high end Asrock ones are decent).

Can you go a bit more in detail about this? I'm trying to find issues with it in reviews/user opinions and can't really find anything.

Msi z97 gaming 5 is same price as asrock z97 extreme4 (150e).
So your comment makes no sense about cheaping out.
They're both the recommended boards by tomshardware etc out of all the tests. Above Gigabyte and ASUS.

asrock was usually cheap shit, but now they cost the same as competition? even less reason to consider it then.

I'd get the MSI, looks better, and the audio/network part of it are pretty much the best. Although I wouldn't expect great results for overclocking in the long run, at that price, surely there are some cutbacks where vrm's and what's required for OC-ing a CPU are a BIT lackluster.
Also, where are they bringing the 4790k? It seems like the only chip that is worth mentioning, dat 4.0GHz.
R7 2700x @4GHz / MSI B450 Tomahawk / beQuiet! Dark Rock 4 / 32GB @3000 MHz / MSI RTX 2060 Gaming Z / Samsung 850 EVO 250GB / Western Digital 1TB / Fractal Design Meshify C Dark / SuperFlower Leadex Gold 650W / DELL whatever 27 inch IPS

Yeah i decided on the msi gaming 5. Wanted to get them both from same store but won't be possible (that's why i was leaning towards the asrock)
CPU will be at pcgarage tomorrow (you can preorder it today for 4% discount) + they got limited amounts inc. 1380 Lei
Getting the mobo from evomag. 620 Lei.
All good.

Huh. Thinking of getting one too, but I JUST upgraded the mobo from a low entry z87 board and ima wait and see the new Nvidia series. That's a great price for the CPU, considering the improvements, and the same price.
