Asus or Asrock??

[sasmitr]

Hi,

i ll be running a core i7 2600k as of now with a good amount of overclock. Atleast 4.5ghz and system will be on for lot of time. Looking for a performance motherboard with some really good OC features.

these are few motherboards I was considering..

Asus Maximus V GENE : I assume very good built quality

ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 : value for money types
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157271&Tpk=asrock%20z68%20extreme3%20gen3

Suggest me some good mobos please.. or any of the above..

regards.

Have been running ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 for about a week now and it's perfectly stable with a good power delivery system. Got 4.4GHz overclock on a stock voltage i5-3570K with a cheap air cooler. I like Asus but will never change from ASRock if this is what they're all like.

For Quality + Feauture = ASUS
Money + Feauture = ASROCK

IMO For Only MAXIMUS V GENE Vs ASROCK Z68

the price difference between the two is a good amount!! which would be the better in terms of price performance ratio???

Asrock z68 but needed flash BIOS to use IB PROCESSOR

i am considering for using the robust H100 for cooling.. so cooling shouldn be an issue..

 

[THE UNKNOWN]

If you mean H100 HYDRO FROM CORSAIR then imo no issue

 

[sasmitr]

wat would be the best combination ??

 

[THE UNKNOWN]

Its upto need But imo H100 + ASROCK Z68 is good
