Hello:
I'm embarking on a new gaming system build that'll be pretty standard stuff (i7-8700K, GTX 1080 OC, 16 GB RAM, a few SSDs and HDs, etc.). I know I need a new motherboard and I've been looking at these:
- ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero
- GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming 7
- ASRock Z370 Extreme4
I know the above are top of the line, but I'm wondering if I need that much mobo. All I'm looking for is a stable board with current components (latest USBs, etc.) and a good auto-OC function. I'm not going to tweak the OC beyond wherever auto sets it.
I've gone with ASUS for my last few boards and they've been rock-solid reliable, but I'm open to other brands as well.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
