Well the title says it all -
"they say" that ASUS in general is the best motherboard manufacturer but "they also say" that perhaps, the OC Formula is a better actual motherboard.
What would I want to pick here .... Price is close enough that it's not the deciding factor or a real part of it so I am calling it even in that regard. I hope to pair it with the i7 4790K and while I am not an extremely experienced overclocker, I've dabbled and hope to take some advantage in the future (but not necessarily looking to OC right out of the box from the jump - but nice to know I can and hopefully I will).
Is this a tossup ? I have tried to compare piece by piece and it seems to be a very close call, this forum calls the OC FORMULA a Tier 1/B (second overall tier) while the Pro Gamer is a tier below it. Both have plenty of good things listed in the reviews on Newegg and also some horror stories (seems pretty much par for the course, many if not most MoBos have fair share of horror stories)
So - which is it my righteous peoples> THANKS!
