Hey, people.



I want to upgrade my CPU to a i7 8700. I'm not into overclocking, which is why I'm going for the non-K variant.



Anyway, I will need some motherboard. My only requirement is that it should have decent VRM and cooling for it. It should also be able to sustain max turbo clock for extended periods of time.

I was looking at one of the bellow boards.

Initially I wanted the AORUS H370 for its wifi, dual bios and there is a promo which gives me Far Cry 5 for free, which is sweet. But I read the power phases are doubled on this one, so I don't know what to say.



Any opinions?

cheap z370 usually have better vrm and vrm cooling than expensive h370, and you can upgrade to unlocked one if you decided to upgrade later. i personally use Asrock z370 killer sli with i7 8700
