I'm currently shopping around for a motherboard and I am wondering about what you guys think of the different available makes. Do any of you have a preference and a decent reasoning behind it, or does it not really matter?
I've looked at a couple gigabyte boards, but I keep hearing about this "boot loop" problem (especially with Z68s), which makes me kind of hesitant.
I've also read plenty of reviews on various sites and comments here at TH saying people have specific preferences for a brand, or that certain brands are better for certain reasons. Just a few minutes ago, I read a comment saying gigabyte mobos are better for overclocking.
Do any of these claims have merit? Or does it not really matter and I should just go with the best price value regardless of make?
