Since they are not that far apart from price and they are the only ones i can really chose from where i live. (my first choice was Gigabyte Aorus boards but they arent readily available where i live.)

now i can get either of them but i would want to see if theres a point of choosing the Maximus XI over the Strix, now for overclocking questions i would do some moderate overclocks on my upcoming i9 9900k.

so yea, i would like to really see if the Maximus XI is worth over the Strix (since aesthetically i prefer the strix).

Intel’s new Z390 chipset has pushed motherboard companies to refresh their entire Intel Z370 product portfolio, ASUS included. A lot has been learnt from the prior generation and during the last 12 months about a changing market appetite for high-quality VRM solutions and increased consumer awareness of technical elements of motherboard design. ASUS has released its new ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming motherboard into this market with a brave new slant on VRMs.
kinda dumb question but do they share the same VRMs or does the Maximus have better VRMs.

but yea the strix does look "better". 😆

edit: feature wise on the sheet theres not much difference between the strix and the Maximus now my only concern is if their VRMs are somehow close or equal if so i might just the the Strix.
