I am so torn between these two boards.
The Gigabyte one seems to have outstanding reviews, but I have come across the audio distortion problem quite often, often enough to question buying the board or not.
The Hero on the other hand has outstanding reviews... "when it works." I've seen a fair amount of reviews stating that they received a DOA board, and those that say "when it works," it's a fantastic board. I can't really say how many of these boards have been bought, and those that are reviewing the boards are the ones that had issues. Everyone else had smooth sailing. Do the Hero boards really have that many issues? I know there is always a chance of DOA, but if the Hero has a type of reputation for that, I'd like to avoid it.
If I hadn't seen so many reviews complaining about the Gigabyte audio distortion, I would have already made my choice, but there are two many of these reviews to ignore.
What are your thoughts? Have any of you run into issues with these boards?
Thanks!
