Hello everyone, I am looking to upgrade to a new Skylake system, however I am stuck on a major component of the build. The motherboard.
I was looking mainly at the Asus ROG Maxiumus VIII Hero, The ASROCK OC formula, the Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7. I do plan to do overclocking (not heavily) and am unsure on which board will provide the best reliability and stability. Other recommendations are welcome as well.
However, I am hesitant on the ROG board due to the reviews of it being very buggy and unstable out of the box, with some even saying it was difficult to even get the new BIOS to flash. The ASROCK has good features and has good reviews, albeit the color scheme doesn't match well, but I am more concerned with performance over aesthetics. And I know very little about the gigabyte board and others I have not mentioned.
Thanks for your help. I am looking forward to your replies.
