Asrock z370 - taichi vs fatal1ty k6 vs extreme4

[littlebob86]

Hey all!

Building an i7-8700k, 16g ram (at least 3200), m. 2 Samsung 960 evo, 1080 ti and can't decide between these cards as I'm looking to do some basic overclocking with the cpu (whatever the silicon lottery comfortably allows).

I would prefer to have something with really good on board sound, good reliability with temps, not too concerned about spending a little extra if need be and not concerned with WiFi.

Much appreciated!

The extreme is really good balance, reliable and good for overclocks. If you don't want to do hardcore overclocking and you find all the features on the Extreme, just go for it.

I've only recently read about the extreme, I mean, I initially felt like it was skimping out compared to the other two, and that's not what I wanted.. But I'm just so unsure! Then someone recommended the maximus hero and I just became too confused and came here! Haha 🙁

I would go for fatal1ty k6. As for my personal experience, it worked better than my previous cards. If you are looking for on board sound and reliable card, then fatal1ty k6 should be an only option.

The k6 has been on the top of my list the whole time so far, as I don't need the WiFi the taichi offers.

Do you do any overclocking?
