Which z270 board to get ?

[kingsen]

Asus z270E strix
Msi z270 Gaming M5
Msi z270 pro carbon
Gigabyte z270 Aorus K5

Any specific recommendation ?

Looking to pair with i5-7600k. Will be placed into corsair carbide 400c case. Planning to put with white led fan and maybe white led stripe. Any recommendation for led stripe ?

IMHO, MSI Gaming Pro Carbon is quite nice and among the cheaper ones.

Some say Asus got God-like quality

Some say Assrock got Godess-like quality

Some say MSI got good gaming capability

Some say Gigabyte got super ultra durability

Some say ECS value for money cos is ulu brand

I say praying that your motherboard doesn't chibaboom is a better bet than putting your faith in the brand

I think every brand have that moment really depend on your luck but when motherboard need to rma its a pain. Happens to me once and i have to wait for a whole month to get it repair. Not like graphic card where you still can use the onboard graphic.

Cos mobo RMA is either you get 1-1 exchange or wait for the standard 6-8 weeks ship back to manufacturer.

Also see which distro is closer to u in case in rma in future

 

[singupingu]

1. Choose whichever distro closest to you.

2. Choose whichever aesthetic best for you (I like pro carbon the most out of those you shortlist)

Good or not is your luck entirely.

To me all boards the same. Just pick the ones with what u need/looks sui to u. If function/looks makes no difference then pick whichever distro is nearer to your house.
