Hi!

I'm going to build a new pc and I can't choose from the motherboards, I read some reviews on them, but I need the help :p

ASUS GRYPHON Z87
ASUS Z87-PLUS
ASUS Maximus VI Hero

The cpu will be an Intel i5-4670K, and I will be propably overclock it a little :)
My priorities are (in this sequence): stability, reliability, quality and performance.

Thanks

Gryphon if you don't need the extra PCIe slot space - 5 yea warranty on those. It's tight between the other two, but I think Hero might be for you.

Hello ,

I have one Question ,

The ROG Maximus VI Impact Mini-ITX Motherboard , when is it hitting the market?

and can you please pass this request to the Engineers ?

Please Add 16 G of DDR3 Ram on the motherboard on the back of the board In dual channel ? so that we can reach 32 G of Ram using only 2 dims (8Gx2)? the only drawback in the itx is the two memory solts only .

and call it ROG Maximus VI Impact Mini-ITX Motherboard-RAM edition :)

if the 16 G are too much to place on the back of the motherboard , place at least 8G of ram (2x4G dual channel) so we can have 24G of ram :)

and for people who don't want the RAM for Higher clocks than DDR3 1600 , they will get the normal motherboard without RAM?

Please do it :) , it is easy I know , Just soldier them on the back of the mobo :) you do that for VGA cards :)
