Not sure which Z97 would be the best to get..
Something that matches the Noctua fan colour scheme (I know ugly, but fantastic products) and overall scheme of the system.

I was initially thinking of the Asus SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK 1 ATX LGA1150 motherboard, but surely there must be others that match the colour scheme right?

Any suggestions?



Thanks!

No honestly the sabertooth is the only brown z97 board i know of its not a very desirable color. I have a blue color scheme with a brown noctua cooler and i think it looks pretty good actually. The sabertooth is a good board i would prefer an asus ROG board like the hero but thats red.

That should work. My friend uses that board and is very cool! I would use that if you are on a budget though. It will work fine.:)
