Which ASrock board to get? Extreme7+ or Fatal1ty Gaming i7

[kevnmurphy]

Looking at these two boards to get. Occasional gaming, but really looking for a board with a ton of options. Have never gone with ASrock before but want to try them out.

Anyone with boards like these, does the dual LAN help or is it just for show?

Any other opinions are appreciated.

Thanks

Looks like Extreme 7+ has more stuff. But both of them are good boards, maybe it's more about color preference and or some unique feature you need.
The Dual lan helps if you need alot of data transfer, if your just using normal PC stuff, not much usage.

If you never tried them, you will have fun. Overclocking is a must with their boards

Thanks for the input. Looks like the only real differences are the looks of the boards and the Extreme7+ comes with the front USB 3.1 panel. Couldn't find any other differences.
Does anyone else know if the Fatal1ty would perform differently?
If I am willing to spend $200 on a new MB, should I consider the Asus Hero instead?
Thanks

From what I understand, Fatal1ty has some gaming mouse port features as well and maybe other stuff I'm not aware. The Extreme Series I believe are being targeted to more workstations which rely on stability and connectivity.

Either one youll be fine.

I like the Fatal1ty mobos, BIOS is often a bit better than the regular Extreme series

Thanks for the info. I will probably get the Fatal1ty. Just making sure I didn't miss anything on the other boards, I am doing a little more research vs the M8 Hero and the Gigabyte G1 Gaming 7. All are awesome boards, just wondering if I ever want to go dual M.2 in raid.

Thanks again for all the info. Will go with the Fatal1ty once I finalize my build.
