gaming Z97 MOBO for OC

Stergios_tsu · Aug 26, 2014

I am looking for an ATX MOBO for my gaming pc to fit in the NZXT h440. I'm going to combine it with
CPU : i5-4690k(future OC)
GPU : R9 280x (probably the shapphire DUAL-X )
RAM : RipjawsX F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL

price preferably under 160€
I'm noob in pc building so I want all the help I can get.
thanks in advance.

I prefer msi z97 mpower (136,29 €),I use that board with i7 4790k oc up to 4.7GHz stabile,So I think msi z97 mpower is your best choice!!

I'd go the Asus Z97-A or Z97-Pro, their Hero if available in your budget, Asus had the best Z87 mobos and have carried that right into the Z97 line of mobos, Won't do client builds on MSI due to their poor QC

Tradesman1 :

Will the z97-A/PRO be able to support 6+ fans and/or water cooling? Also, will these two mobos be able to handle CPU OC at 4.6GHz/4.7GHz? What's the difference between them ?

I was thinking going for the MSI or Gigabyte gaming 5/7 mobo at about 150€. what's your opinion on these ?
because the maximus VII hero is 40€ off budget I was thinking about the maximus VII ranger. Is the ranger a better or worse choice than the other mobos and why?

You might want to consider the ASRock Extreme series. Apparently they're really good overclockers and quite reliable too.

Ranger should be a good choice, lil brother to the Hero, not available yet in the States so am waiting to get hands on with one
