Reliable Z97 Motherboard Recommendation
I’m planning a new build with an i7-4790k CPU and I need to select a motherboard. I want to have M.2 for my SSD and I’d like to have USB 3.1 but I guess I’d be ok adding a card if I need that functionality in the future. I don’t care about SLI.
I’ve read a lot of reviews online, but the thing that really threw me off was the low ratings and number of DOA & sudden failures of Z97 boards reported on Newegg. So my number one concern is that the board is going to be reliable. Budget and gaming features are not my top concerns. I’m doing this build because my last motherboard died suddenly, and I don’t feel like going through that again.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
