What mobo would you choose for 4770k overclocking on water. The PC's aim is gaming on ultra.

P.S. Also answer why.

No choice here, it's simply the Hero, I only build on Asus, the Rock and GB (gave up on MSI almost 3 years ago, very poor QC and support (not to mention my clients didn't want them either), but of all the 87s I've played with, For my own build I picked the Hero - have with a 4770K at 4.6, 32GB of 2666 GSkill Tridents, a EVGA 660TI (currently - not a gamer so don't need better though am going to kick it up to prob a 770 or better) and it runs like a dream - got the new CM GTS V8 cooler which is the new 'King' of the Air coolers I think

Can I rely on your answer? because you never touch MSI boards for the last 3 years.. so that means you don't have any experience on the new msi Mobos.. a lot of people says Asus is the no. 1 but you don't have to bash msi just bec you dont like them or got a bad experiece from it.. Well anyways, you can give both a shot, I also think both are great mobos but choosing 1 depends on the special features that you will need..

I'm also still confused on what I will get between those 2.. the wifi/bluetooth option really wants me to go with MSI but, I want to know what msi mpower owners will say about it. And I know the Hero has also all the things I need but I need to research more about the msi because Im planning not to upgrade for a long time.

See them all the time, just won't build on them - same with BioStar, ECS, EVGA, etc, their 2 most popular mobos the G45 has about a 58% 5 Egg rating from people who have bought them, and the G65 even less, think 48% 5 Egg last time I looked, and both show a number of assorted failures so it's no one particular problem, the Hero is around 75% at the 5 Egg level....also of calls I get for upgrades/repairs etc find more problems on MSI mobos than with any two other manufacturers put together...If you happen to get a good mobo, then you are prob in good shape :)
