I have been looking for a good Motherboard to use with the i5-4670k I will be purchasing. Need some advice on it.
Ive been searching through newegg for a decent mid level board that has a high reputation and good ratings. However, pretty much all the 1150's on New egg that show a 5-4 egg rating only has between 40-55% 5 egg rating, and a smattering of 1-4 eggs. When I look at this it makes me think, okay so only about half of the boards people got work great, so there is a 50 - 50 chance of getting a bad board or something wrong with it. How far off base am I in this assumption.
The board will be paired with an 7870 ghz edition GPU. I am not a huge overclock fan, I do OC when its called for but I dont like to push the limits. maybe a 4-4.2 Ghz OC at max, but not the 4.4-5 Ghz OC ive seen some listing.
Current CPU is only OC'ed to prevent bottlenecking.
On a side note, to get a super dependable board I may be willing to hit the upper end of $, but not really wanting to hit $200
