MB for 4790K. OC is not important

michaelbn · Aug 13, 2014

I need to pick a MB that will support the Intel 4790K.

I don't care about OC but I do care about quality, performance, stability and durability.

It will be used as a Linux dev station and will run: virtual servers, databases, IDE, compilations, dockers and etc

Any recommendation?

Then why pay more for the 4790K that is unlocked for overclocking? Get the 4790 instead.

asus sabertooth mk2 or asus maximus ranger or gigabyte g1 sniper z97

The K is 4Ghz while the other is 3.6Ghz and the cost diff is not something I care of

Here are two that will meet your requirements:

I know that overclocking is not a consideration, but boards that can overclock are built with the expectation that they're going to be, so tend to get better components than non-OC boards. That translates into better quality, durability, performance and stability.

You could also consider the Asus Z97 WS - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97ws.

Edit: There are some good H97 boards that would also work and are cheaper, but in general the Z97 boards tend to be higher quality.
