any bros here remember... i7 1st generateion 2ghz.. if i did not remember wrongly.. Is how many years ago ah.. i using it till now

Both are equally solid IMO. Go through the features again and make sure they give what you want...

 

[lobo76]

my not that recent experience with MSI is not good. 1MB and 1GFx dies very soon after warrantly. ASUS mbs on the other hand lasts very long for me.

I hv been using my current Asus for 5yr, still going strong.
Am also considering MSI Z170 gaming M7 & Gigabyte gaming 7. Any Asus mobo with abt the same features as these 2 mobo?

I will run 2x M.2 in raid 0. that was why I only left Gig & MSI.

 

[sglords]

Asus z170 rog series at least bother to use Intel GE and ess dac instead of standard realtek codec

IMO the Gigabyte Gaming 7 looks cleaner and neater than the MSI Gaming M7. And packs dual LAN which u can swap between Intel and Qualcomm. Gigabyte Gaming 7 feels more value-for-money, though colour scheme wise both are suited for different builds.

No matter how Asus markets their SupremeFX audio, it is still a Realtek ALC1150 codec at its core, just that Asus beefed it up with its own software. Gigabyte fares a little better coz it is using Creative SoundCore3D for its Gaming 7 and Creative Soundblaster ZxRi for its Gaming G1.
