I have the MSI one paired with a 4790k. OC'd to 4.5GHz and is completely stable . Can't say I've had any experience with the AsRock one.

That's a tough one but Z97X Killer seems a bit of a better mobo.

Yep, the Killer all the way, great mobo

 

[BlueBoat]

Umm, could someone give me actually numbers? I am a hard fact guy.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

The Killer would be compared to the MSI Gaming 7.

Wait two more questions

1. Which Mobo is best for the z97 chipset right now for around 235CAD?
2. Should I save a bit more and get the New Maximus VIII Hero when it is realsed in July, My birthday is in that month so I bet I can get a better this mobo.

I have the 2 previous HERO boards and they are the best in my opinion , every release is improved.
