Asus z270-A vs z270K

tinymightybear · Jan 8, 2017

I am having hard time to choose between those 2.
My issuse:
- My local vendor only have K version.
- Most review online is about A version.

Question is
- Is Z270-A worth it compare to K? If yes I will try to get it from Amazon from the US (shipping risk is a void).

tinymightybear :

Apparently, the A version has better integrated graphics (useless), and the K version does NOT supports SLI. It supports crossfire only, and it supports two way crossfire only. The A version supports 3 way crossfire and 2 way SLI.
It also have some more stuff like LAN utilities, a better sound card, and different connectivity.

The only thing that is better with the K version is overclocking.

The most obvious and practical difference between those two , is the CPU power delivery circle.
A is superior due to greater number of power phases (10 vs 7) and their cooling.
It results in higher and more stable overclock.

I have another option. It is Asus ROG STRIX Z270-F gaming. Can you guy compare to the two above please?.
I wil use i7 7700k and gtx 1070.

there is nothing to compare.
z270f is an ROG board -> it's higher end.

Z270 f is rog series. is high-end mb. can not compare -A or -k.

Well so i should pick Z270-F then, it is only 20$ different from A.

This is not comparable : The Asus one is high end while the MSI one is mid end...

The ASUS A-series boards have always been a very solid, stable choice in the mid-range. Unless you reallyreally need to save money, I don't see a lot of point in going lower than that. It's always been the best bang for the buck, all things considered.

If you want to move up from mid-range into high-end, that's your ROG.
