Asus maximus v gene or z77 sabertooth

[xenonprime]

im planning to upgrade my gaming rig ^^ i wanna ask which of the two is better for gaming ^^

 

[EzioAs]

I'm not a fan of either of those premium motherboards but among those two, I'd go with the sabertooth (because it's a full-sized ATX).

I would recommend the Maximus V Gene over the Sabertooth. I personally do not see the practically of the Themal Armor on Sabertooth.

And then I think you are generally better off with an ROG motherboard since you are building a Gaming PC. And the SupremeFXIII sound should be a bonus. Of course this comes in smaller uATX form factor.

(of course that's personal opinion)

thanks ^^ does it look good in phantom red full tower?

i kinda want the maximus v formula but its expensive >.<

 

[alextheguy]

I think mATX board does not look good in a huge case like the one you mentioned. But Maximus V Gene has a better overclock ability. It depends, but Maximus V Gene is a truly good board.

>.< well i might go for amd am3+ motherboard crosshair v formula z.
is there a big difference between dual 16x and dual 8x in gaming?

 

[EzioAs]

Are you using/planning an Intel CPU or AMD CPU? You're not really making much sense here.

i really want to go for intel >.< but since the maximus v gene will not look good in huge case like alex said and i forgot to say that i only like red and black theme in my build
>.<
